Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic religions‚ and its history is heavily connected to the history of the Jewish people themselves. Its story begins with the original agreement made between Abraham and God‚ circa 1900 BCE‚ when Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur and migrate to Cannan (later known as Palestine and Israel)‚ a land God promised to give to his descendants.

In trying to determine where the Garden of Eden might have been located‚ we have an immediate problem‚ because while the biblical description is quite detailed‚ it is also fairly succinct. We are told only that: The Lord God planted a garden in Eden‚ in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. . . .
