In the first chapter of his book People of Color in the Bible, Emanuel examines the creation of Adam and the location of the Garden of Eden. As you might know most western churches imply that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the Middle East. The Nile, Tigris and Euphrates Rivers still exist today, and by changing the name of the geographical designation, from Northeast Africa to the “Middle East”, the stage is set for confusion. Early on in biblical studies, Emanuel clears up this confusion with a detailed analysis of the geography of the region and a soil analysis to correctly point Bible readers to the location of the cradle of man’s origin, according to modern research. Today, we have a better understanding, as to why the modern church does not want to put the origin of man in Africa. All scientists know that there were no white people indigenous to Africa. All white people in Africa migrated there, well after 2,000 B.C. In fact, the Black people known as ancient Egyptians today, recorded their interaction with these strange looking people they designated the “Tamahu.” Western scholars however, still want to start civilization with the people of Sumer, in the Tigris Euphrates River valley basin; even though modern science shows that early man migrated to this area from the Nile River basin. Modern archeology also shows that early man’s first organized cultures were in fact in the Nile River basin. This book makes clear, what today’s evidence leads one to conclude on the origin of the first man, Adam, and where the miracle of his birthplace, the Garden of Eden, was located.
