God Couldn't Have Done It Without Africa: Earth's Final Great Awakening

By Dante Fortson

Why are all of the maps in the back of the Bible zoomed in so close that you can't tell that 99% of the stories take place in Africa and Arabia?

Starting in Genesis, we are introduced to a utopian garden planted on the east of Eden. We are then told that one of the rivers of Eden flows through Ethiopia, and yet many of us often overlook this fact.

By the time we reach Genesis 10, we learn that Nimrod, a Cushite from Africa, founded Babel to become the very first world leader. It is from within this Cushite empire that Abraham is called to be a great nation.

When we consider that many of the patriarchs took African women as wives, it becomes clear that mainstream Christianity is not giving us the complete story.

Abraham, Esau, Joseph, Judah, Moses, David, Solomon, and many others all had wives of African descent, and yet the narrative of a white Israel spending 400 years as slaves in the African heat, still prevails in our society.

This journey into scripture promises to be one of the most eye opening adventures you've ever embarked on, and it is guaranteed to change your entire perception of history and scripture in general.

Chapter 1: The Location of Eden

It only makes sense to start at the very beginning. The Cradle of Civilization is believed to be where mankind got its start. All of my life, I’ve heard two different arguments for where this actually occurred:

Africa

Mesopotamia

There’s no way that both arguments could be right... or could they? In Western society, we tend to think of The Middle East as some separate area not associated with Africa, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The Middle East is physically connected to Africa, and was under African control for thousands of years. Let’s look at a map of Africa, Israel, and the Middle East, before we continue. Pay special attention to where each area is located.

Figure 1

NOW THAT WE HAVE A clear idea of where everything is located on a map, it seems obvious that The Cradle of Civilization can’t be located both in Africa and the Middle East. I struggled with a definitive answer for a long time until I decided to pick up a study on The Garden of Eden. Let’s take a look at what the earth may have looked like prior to its divide.

Pre-Divide Geography

It was the study of The Garden of Eden that prompted me to look deeper into Pangaea, the name that scientists gave the world before the earth was rearranged by continental drift. Take a look at the following map.

pangea_politik

Figure 2

If we look at this pre-divide map, based on the Continental Drift theory, we see that Saudi Arabia and The Cradle of Civilization are connected to Africa, and nothing else. This scientific theory actually supports both sides of the argument, because the current Middle East was once considered to be part of Africa. If we compare the two maps, we can see how everything shifted after the earth was divided.

Geographically, we can verify that Africa and the entire Middle East were connected, even if you believe that Continental Drift is the scientific verification of the following verse:

"And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan." – Genesis 10:25

We could argue that because the earth was all one giant land mass, that there was no Africa at the time and that would be correct. However, while it wasn’t Africa in name, the same people still inhabited the area, pre and post divide. In order to understand the origin of these people, we need to start in The Garden of Eden.

Those that dismiss Pangaea as valid science, probably do so to hold onto the belief that Israel is part of Asian, and not Africa. This is a topic that we’re going to address later in this book. Next let’s look at the difference between Eden and the Garden of Eden.

Eden Was Not The Garden

This is a simple, but often overlooked minor detail. The garden was planted in Eden, but the garden was not Eden. To understand where Eden was, we need to consider where the garden was:

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. – Genesis 2:8

We see that the garden was planted eastward in Eden, and if we accept the explanation that the garden was in Mesopotamia, we need to understand where Mesopotamia is:

mesopotamia-4-638

Figure 3

This area is known as The Fertile Crescent. If we refer back to Figure 2, we will see that The Fertile Crescent was as far east as anyone could travel before running into the ocean, pre Continental Drift or pre divide.

If the garden was planted in the east, it means Eden also encompassed the land to the west of the garden. If we refer to Figure 2, the land to the west is Arabia, Africa, South America, and a small portion of Florida.

One final explanation for Eden is that it could represent the entire land mass that we refer to as Pangaea. However, when we look at the Biblical geography, the only locations mentioned are African and Arabian rivers. The names of those rivers are:

Pison (Genesis 2:11) – Encompassed Havilah

Gihon (Genesis 2:13) – Encompassed Ethiopia

Hiddekel (Genesis 2:14) – Flows east toward Assyria

Euphrates (Genesis 2:14) – No description given.
