African Origin of the Myths Legend of the Garden of Eden- Prof John G Jackson

Contrary to popular opinion, there is nothing original or unique about these Hebraic Eden myths. Similar myths and legends were told all over the world centuries before there was any sacred literature among the Hebrews. The Garden of Eden myth was anciently known in Ethiopia (Nubia), Phoenicia, Chaldea, Babylonia, Assyria, India, Persia, Etruria, China, Egypt and Mexico. The Hebrews first came in contact with these stories when the Israelites were conquered and enslaved by Sargon II, King of Assyria (722–705 B.C.). Thousands of Israelites were led into captivity by the Assyrian monarch. Colonists from the Assyrian Empire, which then included Media, Persia, Babylonia, Chaldea, Egypt and Syria, replaced the expatriated tribes of Israel. The ten tribes of Israel being overwhelmed and engulfed by their enemies were, as a result, absorbed into the polyglot Assyrian population, thereby losing their ethnic identity. This is how the famous lost tribes of Israel were lost. Download Link
