If the Garden of Eden was to be located today, where would it be? No one is sure of its whereabouts. This blog post will explore different theories about the site and offer our opinions. Stay tuned to find out where we believe humans can find paradise. What Is The Garden Of Eden? For those of you who aren’t religious or unfamiliar with Adam and Eve’s story, the Garden of Eden was the first home of humans, according to Genesis 2 in the Bible. It is said to be a paradise where everything is perfect. There was no disease, no death, and no hunger. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve were banned from the Garden after they disobeyed God’s orders not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Since then, humans have been living in a fallen state, subject to all the world’s ills. Adam and Eve Forced to leave the Garden of Eden So, where is this mythical Garden located? But first, let’s look at some of the theories. Evidence of the Garden of Eden In the Bible It’s no secret that man has been searching for the Garden of Eden ever since he was banished from it. Its discovery would verify the story of creation and provide a convincing testimony that the events in the Bible occurred. Fortunately, many people believe it’s still somewhere, waiting to be found. However, the Bible does offer some clues as to its whereabouts. In Genesis, it says that the Garden is in the east. Furthermore, four rivers flowed out of the Garden, two of which have been identified as the Tigris and Euphrates. This has led some people to believe that the Garden is in the region that is now Iraq. After all, the modern-day Tigris and Euphrates flow through Iraq, situated in the east. Map of Iraq The problem with this theory is that the rivers have changed course over time, and the geographic markers referenced in the Bible are non-existent. Hence, it’s possible that they didn’t even flow through any part of Iraq when the Garden is said to have existed. Plus, if the Garden was in Iraq, why haven’t we found it yet? Indeed, with all the archaeological digs in the area, someone would have stumbled upon it. However, it’s unlikely that the geography of Creation still exists today after the Flood. As the Bible states, the Flood wiped the Earth clean, so it’s safe to assume that a geologic event of that magnitude would reshape the planet’s surface. This doesn’t mean that the Garden couldn’t have been in Iraq at one time; it just means that it’s not there now, nor could we see evidence of it since it was undoubtedly buried under miles of sediment. The likelihood that geologists could see any evidence of Eden, even if it still existed around Moses’ time (1,500 years after the Flood), it’s impossible to find that evidence now. Many experts can only guess Eden’s location could be in modern Armenia or Iraq. If a flood of biblical proportions swept through the Earth, Eden would most likely be pushed down towards the mantle if it weren’t immediately wiped away by the waters. This would cause it to exist somewhere in the subduction zone on the northeast side of the Arabian plate. Unfortunately, the subduction zone is hidden under three miles of mud and sediment deposited by a massive geologic event. Is The Garden Of Eden In Africa? Others believe the Garden of Eden is in Africa. It is the birthplace of humanity. If you look at a world map, Africa is situated in the east. There is a scientific approach to this theory. Scientists have discovered that all humans share a common ancestry with people who lived in Africa between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago. According to their research, Botswana is the most likely location of the Garden and where humans originated. Eden sat in the Kalahari Desert, which used to be a wetland where the early humans lived. During this time, Lake Makgadikgadi stretched from Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. The lake started to break up, creating wetlands and humans lived here until climate conditions forced them to populate other parts of the climate. In the past, scientists believed that humans developed in areas all over the continent. The Former Extent of Lake Makgadikgadi Scientists analyzed DNA from people in Namibia and South Africa to prove their theories, focusing their efforts on the L0 lineage. This lineage is the earliest known marker of the human population. All DNA isn’t the same, so researchers couldn’t focus on nuclear DNA as it comes from both parents; they had to narrow their focus to mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother and doesn’t undergo recombination, meaning that it stays the same throughout many generations. So, this is the best DNA for scientists to use when determining maternal ancestry. Professor Vanessa Hayes of Sydney University performed this study with her colleagues and was finally able to determine the exact location of our early ancestors. She also mentions that there seems to be a migration of sorts where the population split off into three groups. One group traveled in a northeast direction, a second group traveled in a southwest direction, and the third group remained in the homeland until today. Will We Ever Know The Garden of Eden’s Exact Location? Groundbreaking research has given scientists a better understanding of the Garden of Eden and where we can find it. There are many theories about the location of the Garden of Eden; it’s safe to say that Africa is the most likely place. Maybe one day we’ll find it. While some aspire to believe the evidence presented by science, others believe God can only know the location of the Garden of Eden. The Bible tells us that after Adam and Eve sinned, God banished them from Eden, and he placed cherubim with a flaming sword east of it to prevent them from ever going back. So, even if we could find the Garden today, we may never be able to enter it. The Garden of Eden is a mystery that we may never solve. But, it’s a story passed down for generations and will continue for many years.The post Where Would the Garden of Eden Be Located Today? first appeared on History Defined.

Not a lot of non-preppers will think of starting a stockpile with food supplies that can last for several years, but this is a common thing for most preppers. Article by Natural News, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com The whole process can seem daunting for a beginner, but here are some long-lasting pantry staples to help you get started. (h/t to SuperPrepper.com) Aside from choosing food supplies with a long shelf-life, you should also invest in high-quality containers for your items. Store your stockpile in a secure location and make sure all sealed containers are dry and sealed properly. The most common reason why food goes bad is due to bacteria growth. Bacteria need a certain amount of hydration and oxygen to grow. If you remove those two elements via dehydration and deoxidization, foods can last for years or even decades in your stockpile. Beans/dried lentils Dried beans will last for at least several years. Beans are a great source of essential dietary fiber and carbohydrates when you’re dealing with an emergency or are low on supplies. Store dried lentils in a cool, dry place. Dried fruit Dried fruit can last many years but it should be stored in a safe place away from fumes it can soak up. Since dried fruit can soak up flavor elements from its surroundings, you should store it in a clean, dry room with enough air ventilation to keep it from being stuffy. Honey Honey is well-known for being the longest-lasting and most sustainable food source. Honey can last a very long time, especially if you keep it in a dry place with the lid on at all times. If your honey becomes crystallized, you can melt it down again. Place the container in a bath of warm water, and the crystals will melt down to syrup. (Related: Canning, drying and more: The art of food preservation across cultures.) Maple syrup Like honey, maple syrup easily stores and preserves for many years when kept closed, sealed and in a cool, dry place. If maple syrup crystalizes, you can also melt it by putting the container in a bath of warm water. Oats Oats are a versatile ingredient. You can serve them hot with either savory or sweet toppings. Powdered milk When looking for Vitamins D, C and calcium, powdered milk is the perfect stored option if you don’t have access to fresh citrus or fresh dairy. Powdered milk retains its nutritional value even after it has been dried and stored for several years. When buying powdered milk, look for products that are specifically designed for long-term storage. Rice Rice keeps itself dry so it also has a long shelf life. White rice is the most recommended because brown rice has the highest possibility of going rancid over time. Whatever kind of rice you get, opt for the dehydrated form and seal it properly. Salt Salt is naturally long-lasting even without human intervention. In a pinch, you can use salt to preserve meat. However, you will need a lot of salt for meat preservation so keep that in mind if you plan to do so after SHTF. Soy sauce Soy sauce is fermented and salty and it can last a very long time even without refrigeration. Make sure you store soy sauce away from fumes so that it doesn’t get tainted by outside smells. Sugar In its purest form, sugar can last almost as long as salt. Vinegar White vinegar and apple cider vinegar are fermented and impossible to spoil. Keep vinegar closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from fumes that can get into the liquid and taint it.  Where to get long-lasting pantry staples for your stockpile The Health Ranger Store is committed to helping you prepare for any emergency.

Unlike “Doomsday Preppers,” those who can be classified as lifestyle preppers aren’t building bunkers or living off-grid. They don’t can their leftovers for long-term storage and they probably don’t own a freeze dryer. But they’re concerned about potential future emergency scenarios and they do not trust government agencies to do more than give them beans and rice during sustained supply chain disruptions. “Basically, these lifestyle preppers want to live well through apocalyptic situations,” said Jason Nelson, co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals. “They don’t just want to survive, they want to ‘surthrive,’ as I like to put it.” The biggest concern facing millions of Americans who are starting to stock up on survival gear is the coming presidential election. Regardless of who wins, many believe it’s likely that the losing side will cause massive disruptions through riots and possibly even acts of domestic terrorism. The FBI has warned of such possibilities as well. Any major disruptions to the supply chain in major metro areas could prompt grocery store runs that could empty the shelves in a matter of hours. Those who do not have enough food will become dependent on government organizations like FEMA to supply them. This is what “lifestyle preppers” hope to avoid by stocking up on high-quality long-term storage food rather than living off poorly made survival food for weeks or even months at a time. “The whole reason we launched with Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin was because we’ve personally eaten the ‘beef crumbles’ being offered by survival companies and we couldn’t imagine trying to live off of that for a long time,” said Nelson. “I ate military food for two decades and it’s far better than some of the stuff that passes as ‘survival’ food today.” Being a “lifestyle prepper” means having well-made, nutritious food as well as water and other essentials on hand in case of “bug-in” scenarios. These aren’t people who are necessarily wanting to live off-grid but they also do not want to be reliant on living within a system that breaks under the weight of world events. Click here to see all that Prepper All-Naturals has to offer. The survival steaks offered by Prepper All-Naturals have shelf lives of 25+ years. They are made from all-American beef, which is the only ingredient. They don’t even add salt which allows the beef to be used in a wide variety of dishes. “We want our beef to not just get stuck in a closet for emergencies,” Nelson said. “People certainly can do that but they can also break open a bag in a different kind of emergency such as when friends or relatives are coming over unexpectedly.” Our readers can take advantage of deep discounts for a limited time by using promo code “veterans25” at checkout at Prepper All-Naturals.
