"In a fertile garden where modern man was born"

[Polaris]

It is MV that this is a provocative statement and underlies the MO of the sumerians to claim theirs is the oldest of the five, when they are the youngest civilization "here on god's green earth"....

BTW the quote is also in the opening of the 8th episodehttp://www.youtube.com/user/Time4TruthDOTorg#p/u/2/-dTreVIjcjI

[Dr Z.]

In the bible it said the garden of Eden was near 4 rivers. Well, they discoverd where the 4th river was and pin poitned the region to the Persian Gulf area. 1,000's of years ago, sea levels were much lower than they are today.

[Polaris]

Indeed they did find the 4 rivers, and it is at their intersection that the garden was located - thus the delta that empties into the Persian Gulf.
It is MV, that mankind did not start there, like many (biased) historians speculate...just the sumerian civilization (and their offspring, i.e. Jews, Christians and Muslims).
