An inscription on a cylinder seal
An inscription on a cylinder seal 1---40
Dr. said. Ahmed Sousa in his book (The History of Mesopotamia Civilization):
This inscription on a cylinder seal, dating back to the ancient Sumerian era, represents the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, in which a man with a two-horned skullcap on his head and a woman without a headdress are seen sitting in front of each other. Each of them extended his hand to pick the forbidden dates from the tree of life (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil), and the serpent is seen standing upright behind the woman, enticing her to eat the forbidden dates. It appears here that the tree from which Adam and Eve were warned not to eat and which was mentioned in the Torah (Genesis 2 = 15-17) is the palm tree.
The similarities between this story and the story of creation in the Torah and the Qur’an are so strong that they have led researchers to believe that there are different versions of the same story. The main difference, says Professor De Moor, is that "there are many gods in this Ugaritic myth. Adam and the serpent are gods. This of course contradicts monotheistic religions." The second difference is that Adam’s fall was not due to a mistake he committed: “In the story, and as far as we have been able to decipher its symbols, there is no sin.”
And punishment.” Adam’s wife is also described as “of good character”: “Eve in this story is not at fault for what happened to Adam, in contrast to the creation story adopted by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.”
