I haven't mentioned the Bible or Genesis or Adam and Eve, my concern was with locating the Great Apple Tree of Dumuzid Lord of Edin...a very much real tree in a specific location
edit on 6-6-2013 by Kantzveldt because: (no reason given)
As I said...its based on a myth.
It probably never existed.
Its akin to searching for Atlantis.
Pomegranate has been used thousands of years as food. Pomegranate seeds have been found in Middle Bronze Age archeological site (5000 years before) in Jericho and Nimrud in Israel. The Sumerians had planted a pomegranate tree under palm trees at about 3000 BC. Pomegranates are very often mentioned in the Old Testament. In the Quran surat Al Rahman verse 68, pomegranates ( Rumman ) called 3 times as a fruit other than the date palm that grows in heaven. After studying a variety of sources of ancient texts, experts theorize that the pomegranate is probably the "apple" that grew in the Garden of Eden. Latin name of pomegranate, Punica granatum , means a lot of apple seeds.

The bible does in fact have many factual historical accounts, and ALLLL ancient civilizations when writing their histories always incorporated their religious beliefs into the accounts, yet, the bible is dismissed so quickly.. but all others excepted? that makes no sense to me at all.
