Garden of Eden
The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flowed through the Garden of Eden on their path to the Persian Gulf. Since the Tigris and Euphrates are the rivers of Chaldea it is likely the Garden of Eden was in this area.

Ur of the Chaldees
Ur was an important city in a nation called Chaldea, later called Babylonia. Archaeological evidence tells us that Ur was a place where the gods lived.

A seventy foot high place for the gods to dwell (Ziggurat) was built in the center of the city. The Ziggurat was not a place of worship, it was a place where the gods lived. This structure is very similar to the Stepped Pyramids of the Maya culture in Yucatan.

The scientific evidence uncovered changed how people looked at ancient civilizations. The people of Ur had remarkable building methods, an excellent canal system...and even had things like running water and fireplaces in homes. Beautiful art forms were common for the ruling class.

All Old Testament history happened no more than 800 miles from Ur.
