Object: In the News: Garden of Eden was in Nigeria Researchers
From the article:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday, November 19, 2005
Two academic researchers are set to present proof that the Biblical
Garden of Eden, the accepted origin of mankind, was situated somewhere
in the jungles of Cross River state.
Prof. Catherine Acholonu-Olumba and Mr Ajay Prabhakar, Country
Ambassador and Programmes Co-ordinator respectively for the United
Nations (UN) Forum of Arts and Culture, have provided details of their
finding in a book co-authored by them.
In a press statement issued Thursday in Abuja, the researchers said
their book, entitled “The Gram Code of African Adam,” would be
presented at a world press conference next Thursday.
According to the statement, the book is a product of four years of
painstaking research on the Ikom Monoliths which began in 2001 and
which had been widely reported by the Nigerian media.
The research result was first presented before a global audience at
the round table on Inter-cultural dialogue hosted by United Nations
Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as part of
the Black Heritage festival, in Badagry, Lagos, in May 2001.
Subsequently, the research team was hosted by the Black academics and
Black communities in many states in the U.S, the statement said.
The authors declared that they had succeeded in breaking the code of
the monolith inscriptions after a meticulous study of "forgotten,
buried and misplaced records of lost races of the world.”
Among the "key discoveries" made in the course of the research was
that the geographical area marked in the monolith joining of Rivers
Niger and Benue represented the geometric " centre of then Earth".
Also, Nigeria is exactly at the place identified in the Bible book of
Genesis as the centre of Eden, where the Tree of Life was located.
The authors confidently stated: "Alok village and its environs, Cross
River and its neighbouring states, and indeed Nigeria as a whole, was
that Biblical Eden where Adam and Eve first lived before they were
driven out by God”.

I gues they were not aware that the Earth is a Globe and therfor the
centre lies 4000 miles below each and every place ont the surface:)

That would mean Adam and Eve were, uh, black. Right?
I am wondering how the foaming fundies would react to THAT.

That's because the Angel took pity on them and gave Adam the sword to protect
himself and Eve against the wild animals. When God asked where it was, the
angel said that he couldn't remember, put it down somewhere, forget his own
head next. It's in Genesis 3:24a, the Lost Verse.

I didn't know that (and bet you didn't until you wrote it.)
However if you are telling the truth, is this the only lost verse?
2:20 seems to have something missing. Exactly how did Adam determine those
animals were not "help meets".
I've heard good things about llamas and wonder about how he, um, examined
the elephant.
Are there other lost verses?
2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him.
2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof.
2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him.
2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

I gather llamas are excellent help meets - nearly as good as horses, or

Um, it is my understanding that women have to travel with men who use llamas
as a beast of burden.
It seems that at night they have other uses and horses (even if they were
short enough) don't have these qualities.

Don't you know that Cherubims float?

Does that mean hydrological sorting would have put their fossils in the
upper geological strata?

That's OK, the earth is to young for fossils anyway. The fossils were put
there by God to test our faith.

IIRC, a Jewish midrash has it that Eden was preserved from the flood and
still exists today, but no one knows where it is. Certainly the writer of
Genesis 2 sees the place where Eden was as a place extant in his geography.
The writer of Genesis 2 obviously had no thought that the Flood changed the
landscape in any way.
So ostensibly the tree of life is still out there -- and according to John
in the book of Revelation, the tree of life will be in the new heavens and
new earth -- although why the *new* heavens and the new earth should need
the following feature: "and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of
the nations" (Revelation 22:2).

I don't remember Eden surviving the flood, but the twig which the dove
brought back to Noah reputedly came from the Mount of Olives, as the
Holy Land did not suffer from the flood. (Bialik, Hayim Nahman and
Yehoshua Hana Ravnitzky (eds.), 1992. _The Book of Legends: Sefer
Ha-Aggadah_, transl. by William G. Braude, New York: Schocken Books,
p. 28.)
Noah's body was also preserved aboard the ark and afterwards reburied
"in the middle of the earth." (Second Book of Adam and Eve 21: 7-11)

Or any knowledge of what sea water does to land-based flora.

immediately by legal means.
What we request is absolute secrecy and confidentiality.
And that you will never never disappoint us when fund is transfered to
your account.

proceedure.

bring all documents used in this process to destroy them in your
presence when I come over for my share.

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet Jason Spaceman
(notreally@jspaceman.homelinux.org) made the light shine upon us with this:

Two academic researchers are set to present proof that the Biblical
Garden of Eden, the accepted origin of mankind, was situated somewhere
in the jungles of Cross River state.

Was that on the west or east side of Pangea?
