The Bible does say the garden of Eden was to the "East":

Some fascinating stuff.

 

Could you summarise what's being said? As it is, this thread does not meet the criteria for thread creation.

 

I haven't read your links @OP. I will say that there may be some merit to the idea, however. Alexander the Great reached India, and some philosophers were among his inner circle. They may very well have picked up ideas, which were later carried back to Greece and then, when the Jews encountered Hellenistic philosophy a couple of centuries later, they may have absorbed some faint trace of India. (On another note, many of Alexander's troops were trained in the Greek martial art pankration, which may have informed the indigenous Indian and Indochinese martial arts, both of which informed Southern Chinese martial arts during the first century AD.) Greek philosophy definitely took a different turn after Alexander's conquests. Reincarnation became a common theme among Greek writers, as did concepts vaguely similar to karma and eastern asceticism.

 

Most think Eden was Dilmun.. Bahrain.

 

That seems difficult to believe. It's hard to imagine there was ever a lush natural garden paradise in that location of the world.
India certainly would have been a garden paradise at that very ancient time. It's subtropical so a large variety of edible fruit and nut trees can grow there.

The thing I'm wondering about, if there was large-scale migration to the West from India, did this happen before or after the Aryans entered India? I'm imagining the Indus River civilization must have been something like the Aztec empire before Cortez arrived.

The Indians believe their god Krishna came to this earth and established a kingdom in India about 5000 or 6000 years ago, and of course all sorts of miracles happened. There are people in India who have been continually carrying on a tradition of remembrance since as long as anyone can remember. That time was so long ago in history it was before any known language or writing system was in use, and there are not a lot of direct records that survive.

 

Bahrain is blessed with hundreds of sweetwater springs. .. and in the original Noah's Ark story from Sumer that's where Noah ended up and built an altar.
