Story

The story begins immediately after Adam and Eve's exile from the Garden of Eden and continues to their deaths. Not to be confused with Eden Gardens.The Garden of Eden ( Hebrew "pleasure" גַּן עֵדֶן Arabic: جنات عدن, In the first chapters, Eve does penance in the icy Tigris river, but Satan talks her out of it.

Archive

The Adam and Eve Archive is an ongoing project by Gary Anderson and Michael E. Stone to present all of the original texts in both the original languages and in translation. It currently contains English translations of the most important texts and a synopsis guide that allows the viewer to easily jump from a section in one source to parallel sections in other sources.
