Garden of Eden

The story of how Adam and Eve came to be thrown out of their paradise is one of the most famous in the world. For many the story is considered an allegory; a moral lesson not based in fact. But for others, the possibility of God's Paradise on Earth being a real place remains, fuelled by the Bible's intriguingly specific description of its location somewhere in the modern Middle East. Now the discovery of a huge complex of ancient stone monuments in southern Turkey, between the headwaters of the Biblical river of the Tigris and Euphrates, has sparked the interest of those in search of a physical Eden. Just like the story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace, the monument records the moment of humanity's conversion from a nomadic hunter-gatherer existence to its eventual settlement in agricultural communities - from a life in harmony with nature to a life of hard toil in the fields.
