The Fall of Man (1615) by Jan Brueghel de Oude en Peter Paul Rubens

Genesis in the Bible, recorded in the King James version of the Bible published in 1611, includes the creation of humankind and the temptation of Adam and Eve. The Garden of Eden is described in the Bible as being the place where the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, lived after they were created by G-d. This garden forms part of the creation myth and helps to explain the notion of original sin and mankind's wrongdoings. Eden's location is still under speculation among—is it near the Tigris and Euphrates (northern Mesopotamia), in Iraq (Mesopotamia), Africa, the Persian Gulf, or metaphorical?
