The Garden of Eden, home 0f Adam and Eve, was situated on the Wtnd w Dllmun in the Gulf of Persia Instead of' Mesopotamia. In the valley of the TltH..t and tho Euphrates, according to the rrl mciona in Nippur tablets made by Dr ' Stephen Langdon, of Jesus College rwi ford. His translation has Just bee',, ,,; celved by the University of PennSyiva nla and Is published bblow for the ni tlmo, The discovery will prove of great In." terest to theologians, biblical scholan and AssyrlologlBtB and probably will re"" suit In a -world-wldo controversy which-' may causo a complete revision ot th.T Book of Genesis, According to Dr. Xnrton.. translation Tho Creation, tho Flood and tho Fall of Man aro found In his nowy discover., ' tablets 1300 years before the time of Moscb and 1800 years before tho days It Ejsra, who Is believed to bo the comnll., of most of tho Old T..tament .. w?;, WOMAN DIDN'T AID MAN'S FALL, '' Tho part played by woman In tho fail of man Is missing entirely from the nar. rntlvo of the tablets. The tablets also" contradict tho story of tho creation ana deluge as told In tho Book of Genesis, ' The facts disclosed In the translation.; of Dr. Langdon antedate In their result , nil Hebraic lltorature by more than 10" years. Tho original text of tho tablet!, according to Dr. Langdon, was written' by a priest of the town of Nippur, In the valley of the Euphrates, more than, !2?.years beroro Abraham and mora than 1300 years previous to tho departure 0i'" the children of Israel from Egypt. Dr. Langdon mokes tho following com ment on the translation: "Tho tablet which contains this re,' mnrkablo account of tho early Sumerlan theology, concerning tho origins of human culture, has been almost completely re.'1 atored by tho skilful museum author!-'' tics. We have here a finely written six." column tablet of about 240 lines, most of" which are entirely intact. "Written lak liturgical style tho composition deceives tho rank of nn epic, for It handles tho most profound problems which concern humanity. It begins by describing the, land of primeval bliss, which It locates at Dilmun. an Island In tho Persian Gulf,' and probably connected with the raaln. land In prehistoric times. In this paradlij" dwelt mankind, whom Ntntud, the crea tress, with tho help of Entll, had created. , In what way Is not said, but tho verb em.'., ploycd In one passago suggests a faahloiw lng with the hands of some sort From, oiner passages wo mignt mrer tnat rua. were born as tho natural offspring of,, Nlntud and Entll, tho earth god. but Semitic tradition as wo have It In Baby lumau icKciiuH una grcac nisionans, rep resents man as fashioned by the gods. ANGRY "WATER GOD SENDS FLOOD. "In Paradise Enkl, the water god an4 lord ot all wisdom, ruled over mankind with his wlfo. After a long period Enkl becamo dissatisfied with manklnc ly cause no uia not como unio mm, wgica . I take It to mean that man did not rthderK unto the gods tho homage due. For" thl'' reason Enkl sends the flood, and frail' men dissolve llko tallow In the deluge. but the Klrts of Dilmun and to'rhflnj' pious ones are summoned to tne snores of tho rlvor by Nlntud. They embark on a ship. After the deluge tho King Is called Tagtug, tho dlvlno, a name which. Is most probably rendered into bemiuof by Nuhu (God's wrath Is appeased), and this Tagtug lives In a garden. Is himself a gardener, and the wise Enkl revealed unto him wisdom. The Greek historians, too, preserved this story in the legend of Oannes, who rose fiom tho Persian Gulf to teach men wisdom In primeval times, and so Tagtug. as In the Hebrew story of Noah, plants a garden, names tho treej and plants nnd Is permitted to eat of all but tho Cassia (apple) tree, "Tho Cassia In Sumerian documents l tho herb of healing, as well ns In Seraltlo and Greek medicine. The legends In re gard to It probably told of Its being th plant which bestowed absolute Immortal. Ity. Of this plant Tagtug was not to eat, for thereby ho would attain eternal life. Mankind until this time possessed ex. tremo longevity, but not Immortality. Tagtug, however, on his own Initiative fnV., nnri pntn Tie l.q cursed bv Nlntud 'and becomes a prey to disease nnd ordl nary mortality. Then In the original Sumerlnn Htorv Noah, tho survivor of the. flood. Is the one who eats from the tree, of life. No woman Is concerned In this disobedience, which resulted In our losl' of perfect health and countless years. TRADITION OF THE SCRPKNT. "From certain sources which connect the Cassia nllh tho serpent and the curse. I Infer, however, that the Sumei lans had a trndltlon regarding the ser pent tempter, which Induced man to eat from the tree of life. It Is possible, too. that from some other source we may yet obtain evidence that In Sumerian tradi tion a woman also figured In the InflnlH sin. Our document, however, mentions no wlfo of Tagtug. After the loss of eternal bliss the estate of man evidently becams painful nnd tortured, therefore the goas sent them eight divine patrons to cars for the fields, to heal disease, and presiui over the various arts." It Is malntnlned by what are known" followers of the higher criticism that Genesis Is a comparative book in wnic threo or four narratives have been rathef crudely combined. Thus there are t accounts In the enrller chapters which w not agree, and two accounts of the noon which are quite different, but easily eP. nrntrd.
