THE LOST PARADISE
THEORIES AS' TO 'THE. LOCATION OF
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Tka Comaeaana of Learsed Oplaloa
Support! tke Belief That Adam aad
Bva'a Orlarlaal Home Waa on the
Great Bafcyloalaa Plain.
Almost every spot of the globe has
bad the claim made on Its behalf that
It Is tbe site of vanished Eden. Most
persons seem agreed on the fact that
paradise has disappeared from our
midst. The question Is, Where was.lt
lltuated? To those who deny the Bib
lical story of man's genesis the ques
tion takes another form, and they per
plex themselves as to the spot in which
man first appeared on this earth.
Some evade the difficulty by saying
that man appeared In many different
spots that he did not spring from
one original.
If we accept the doctrine of the Dar
winians we are forced to confess that
the place where man first evolved must
have been anything but a garden of
Eden. It must have been a haunt of
mere animalism, and its food would
certainly not hnve been fruit. Rough
ly speaking, therefore, there are two
schools those who believe that man
came from a divine original, but fell
away from his first estate, to which
with infinite labor he may return, and
those who believe that he evolved from
Hhe beast and is still evolving to the
greatness tnat ne may ultimately at
tain. Setting aside these somewhat
discordant theories, we may well ask,
Where was Eden?
The soundest scientists are agreed
that mankind came from a single ori
ginwhether a distinct creation or an
evolution Is beside the mark and the
original man must have had a local
habitation. The geographical manuals
and maps of the middle ages leave a
good deal to be desired In the matter of
accurate detail, but they have at least
the merit of boldness, and If we go to
them for an answer to our question wo
may get something like a definite re
ply. According to an old map of the
thirteenth century, paradise is a cir
cular Island lying near India. It is
surrounded by a wall In which is a
gateway opening to the west. The
gate is closed and the wall quite In
surmountable. Our Inter nUases do
not locate this happy lalund.
Other early maps would have us be
lieve that Eden lay In central China.
We can go with these ancient geog
raphers so fflT ns to place the probable
Bite of man's birthplace In Asia, but
the consensus of learned opinion does
not incline either to India or China.
Eminent authority supports the Idea
that Eden lay somewhere on the great
Babylonian plain, watered by the Tigris
and the Euphrates-the Tcrath and
Illddckel of Genesis. Other authorities
give their vote for Armenia, possibly
Influenced by the tradition which saya
that the Ark rested on Mount Ararat
but this tradition would only point to
Armenia as the probable first home of
Qpstdllurlan man.
Professor Delitasch and Professor
gayce favor Babylon; Heidegger favors
Paloatlne; Media. Arabia and the up
per Nile have all their supporters. Qua
trefagea. treating tbe subject solely
from a scientific standpoint, concludes
that linguistic and other human types
point to central Asia, but does not de
ckle on any precise locality.
With the author of (Icnenls, ns Dr.
Kallacb has remarked, "Eden Is ireo-
rranmcallT neacrlbed In a manner
which leave no doubt that distinct lo
callty was before tho mind of the au
thor." Even to thoac wbo think that
this author was building on uncertain
traditions It must yet be of lntereat to
know what thla locality waa. Babylon
was the most fertile land known to tbe
ancient world; Its poorait fields repaid
cultivation nftyfold, lt better a hun
dredfold. Its luxuriance of fruit and
grain waa so great aa to be actually
tmbarraaalng. There Is no queatloo st
sll tbst this district wss the scat of
Asia's earliest civilisation and there
fore why not aay of the wortd'a?
Tbe idea of man created perfect and
living in a garden of fruitful lorellneas
haa alwaya bad a faednattoa for poor
humanity, recognising Its present Im
perfection and the frequent dts treas
on- diamalDess of Its preaent surround
Inge. Even tboae who knew nothing of
tbe Bible story pictured sorb a spot tor
tsemselvea. Every early mythology
has Its fortunate tales. Its AtlanOa, Its
Heapvrtdes, lis Arcadia and Its Ootdee
An.
Borne persona even ceajectnred that
paradise had not ben on tbe earth st
111, but wss aa Inland floating to the
ah, something tike tbe Wand vWted
br OulUvar. Tbry did aot wise, to
think that tbe eecrvd spot could be
tatanergvd by tbe waters ef tbe det-
aga, sad by this devtre tby rataei it
