Mytho-historical coincidences in the old testament

The name derives from the Akkadian edinnu, from a Sumerian word edin meaning "plain" or "steppe", 

Gu-Edin (also transcribed "Gu'edena" or "Guedena") was a fertile plain in Sumer, in modern-day Iraq. It lay between Umma and Lagash, and claims made on it by each side were a cause of war.[1] Argument over the territory continued for around 150 years.[2]

Israel and his entire house of 70,[46] gathered up with all their livestock and began their journey to Egypt.

while the Old Kingdom annals record that he received tribute from a region that is either the Eastern Desert or Canaan in the form of a workforce of one chieftain and 70 foreigners[102] (likely women),[93

The Exodus (Hebrew: יציאת מצרים, Yeẓi’at Miẓrayim: lit. 'Departure from Egypt') is the founding myth of the Israelites.[1]

Ahmose began the conquest of Lower Egypt held by the Hyksos starting around the 11th year of Khamudi's reign, but the sequence of events is not universally agreed upon.[25]

David[b] is described in the Hebrew Bible as king of the United Monarchy of Israel and Judah.[6][

Solomon (/ˈsɒləmən/; Hebrew: שְׁלֹמֹה‎, Shlomoh),[a] also called Jedidiah (Hebrew יְדִידְיָהּ‎ Yedidyah), was, according to the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament,[3] Quran, and Hadiths, a fabulously wealthy and wise king of the United Kingdom of Israel who succeeded his father, King David.[4] 

The son of Shoshenq I and his chief consort Karomat A, Osorkon I was the second king of ancient Egypt's 22nd Dynasty and ruled around 922 BC – 887 BC. He succeeded his father Shoshenq I, who probably died within a year of his successful 923 BC campaign against the Pilistines and the kingdom of Israel. Osorkon I's reign is known for many temple building projects and was a long and prosperous period of Egypt's History.

Gu-Edin

Only by tradition, which generally does not have a scholastic source, such as the location of the Garden of Eden, is the garden located in Sumerian territory. There is no empiric evidence of it, certainly not by etymology.

Another favorite locale for the Garden had been Turkey, because both the Tigris and the Euphrates rise inthe mountains there, and because Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark came to rest, is there. In the pasthundred years. since the discovery of ancient civilizations in modern Iraq, scholars have leaned toward theTigris-Euphrates valley in general, and to the sites of southern Sumer, about 150 miles north of the presenthead of the Persian Gulf, in particular (map, above).To this southern Sumerian theory Dr. Juris Zarins, of Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield,would murmur: "You're getting warmer. For Dr. Zarins, who has spent seven years working out his ownhypothesis, believes that the Garden of Eden lies presently under the waters of the Persian Gulf, and hefurther believes that the story of Adam and Eve in-and especially out-of the Garden is a highly condensedand evocative account of perhaps the greatest revolution that ever shook mankind: the shift from huntinggathering to agriculture.

Like the Genesis flood narrative, the Genesis creation narrative and the account of the Tower of Babel, the story of Eden echoes the Mesopotamian myth of a king, as a primordial man, who is placed in a divine garden to guard the Tree of Life.[10] 

Eannatum (Sumerian: 𒂍𒀭𒈾𒁺 É.AN.NA-tum2) was a Sumerian Ensi (ruler or king) of Lagash circa 2500–2400 BCE. He established one of the first verifiable empires in history: he subdued Elam and destroyed the city of Susa as well as several other Iranian cities, and extended his domain to Sumer and Akkad.[1] One inscription found on a boulder states that Eannatum was his Sumerian name, while his "Tidnu" (Amorite) name was Lumma.

He entered into conflict with Umma, waging a war over the fertile plain of Gu-Edin.[1] 

The theory that the Garden of Eden was based in Sumeria does appear to be gaining support however.

 Many of the Old Testament biblical stories are lifted from  ancient Sumerian epics.. This is a proven fact. They were likely to have been copied during the exile in Babylon.

ABRAM aka Abraham came from Mesopotamia. It is believed that he was "called by god" to leave his homeland to create a new nation elsewhere.

According to the Genesis account, Noah labored faithfully to build the Ark at God's command, ultimately saving not only his own family, but mankind itself and all land animals, from extinction during the Flood. 

He is tasked by the god Enki (Ea) to abandon his worldly possessions and create a giant ship to be called Preserver of Life.

The Preserver of Life was made of solid timber, so that the rays of Shamash (the sun) would not shine in, and of equal dimensions in length and width. The design of the ship was supposedly drawn on the ground by Enki, and the frame of the ark, which was made in five days, was 200 feet in length, width and height, with a floor-space of one acre.[2] The ark interior had seven floors, each floor divided into 9 sections, finishing the ark fully on the seventh day. The entrance to the ship was sealed once everyone had boarded the ship.

He was also tasked with bringing his wife, family, and relatives along with the craftsmen of his village, baby animals, and grains.[2]
