The very beginning...Around 5,000 B.C. to the Dawn of civilization...

This video is quite lengthy...around 50 minutes long...But it's very informative and relates some what to what I'm going to reveal you...You don't have to watch it,but it's probably best you do at some point to fully understand what I've written.
The Holy Bible states in Genesis 2:4-3:24 New International Version (NIV) that in a mystical garden named Eden,2 beings,Male and Female,were created (made,bought into being,existence) and were to work it,keep it.The numerous Rabbis,pastors,preachers,TV evangelists,and Christians,tell us only 2 beings were made at first,there only 2 ever and were no others.Until the first 2 had 2 sons,of which one killed the other!
Yes...They eventually had 2 sons,named Cain and Abel.God; after a time,required sacrifices from both of them.Abel provide the required sacrifices God wanted,but Cain didn't and got very irate with his brother,because God was very pleased with him,but not Cain. So secretly in a field,he murdered his brother.God eventually asked Cain where his brother was,Cain made a retort,and God realized he'd killed him. So cursed and then banished from the lush garden,and God's presence,he proceeded to send him into a land toward the East of the garden,called Nod,or wandering. Cain bellowed at God,that it was it punishment enough he was cast away from the presence of the Almighty,banished,but sending him to a land where others might find him and kill him!?
What others? If Christians quote the Bible narrative stating that Adam and Eve were the very first and only beings created,as an irrefutable literal fact,then Cain and Abel were born,but Cain kills Abel,4 -1 = 3, then there were no others,right? No other daughters,or sons,or neighbors.
All the modern Bible versions - published today - are the American Bible or Americanized versions - which all don't add any clues to a possibility that others were indeed created,unless you're awake and see there is a hint of numerous men and women being created,
as,the Ancient Aramaic New Testament in English,translated by Victor Alexander, does!
He stated on his (now offline website http:www.v-a.com) that when he translated the book of Beresh't or Genesis from ancient Aramaic into English,he got a shock when he discovered that the ancient scriptures spoke of a pre-adamic man! Agreeing with modern science's discovery of a pre-man!
The garden mentioned prior,before I had to digress,had a river watering the garden which flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah,where there is gold.(The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
So where in the world was this Garden of Eden located?
In the East. As we know it today, the Middle East.

The Story of Adam and Eve from the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures
Let's go back to a much older ancient source where it all supposedly, originated from!
When the bible narrative suggests that men gathered unto one place,a desert region,in the land of Sumer or Shinar.
Sumer,located in the southern most part of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was the home of one of the world's first civilizations. Sumer's Early Dynastic Phase began about 5000 bc, a century or so after the development of a nuanced writing system…Sumer, site of the earliest known civilization, located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in the area that later became Babylonia and is now southern Iraq, from around Baghdad to the Persian Gulf.
Sumer was first settled between 4500 and 4000 bce by a non-Semitic people who did not speak the Sumerian language. These people now are called proto-Euphrateans or Ubaidians, for the village Al-ʿUbayd, where their remains were first discovered. The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade, and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery. After the Ubaidian immigration to Mesopotamia, various Semitic peoples infiltrated their territory, adding their cultures to the Ubaidian culture and creating a high pre-Sumerian civilization.
The people called Sumerians,whose language became the prevailing language of the territory, probably came from around Anatolia, arriving in Sumer about 3300 bce. By the 3rd millennium bce the country was the site of at least 12 separate city-states: Kish, Erech (Uruk), Ur, Sippar, Akshak, Larak, Nippur, Adab, Umma, Lagash, Bad-tibira, and Larsa. Each of these states comprised a walled city and its surrounding villages and land, and each worshipped its own deity, whose temple was the central structure of the city. Political power originally belonged to the citizens, but, as rivalry between the various city-states increased, each adopted the institution of kingship. An extant document, The Sumerian King List, records that eight kings reigned before the great Flood.
cleversausage comments:
The beginning statement @ 2:02, is almost word for word in Werner Stein's Timetables of History, -2500 to -2001, B) Literature,Theater, Page 2 " The Egyptian calendar - regulated by Sun and Moon - 360 days,12 months of 30 days each." Was it left or given them by the Sumerians who appear to have left a style of writing in Egypt where they later replaced it? " The first Libraries in Egypt script changes from Sumerian style (horizontal,left to right) to Semitic (vertical.right to left) Source: " The Timetables of History (3rd revised edition by Bernard Grun (based on Werner Stein's KulturFahrPlan)",-2500 - -2001/B) Literature,theater. Page 2. First year of Jewish calendar - 3760 (bc). Disastrous flood in Mesopotamian regions. It's like this guy is reading,and affirming what's been written in The Timetables of History (3rd revised edition by Bernard Grun).
The Modern Hermeticist video uploader's reply:
Yes, it's cited in the biblio,the first part of this series is based closely on those tables.
Dawn of Civilization - Encyclopedia Hermetica: A Big History (Part 1)When according to the bible narrative, all men gathered unto one place,in the desert region of Sumer or Shinar located in the region of Assyria.
