Žeden Ancient Area, Macedonia, Europe

Žeden is a place from biblical times and is possibly imaginary… Eden is a part of this area, as are Cainan & Shulon, both of which are in the Garden of Eden, East of Eden… "Eden" and "East of Eden" are biblical locati ons in the Land of Nod, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Book of Genesis), which is located "on the east of Eden" Cain was exiled here by God after Cain murdered his brother Abel, according to Genesis 4:16: And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden "Nod" is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander," therefore to dwell in the land of Nod is usually taken to mean that one takes up a wandering life ----------------------------------------------------------------- View Enos[h] ben Seth, the "Most Ancient of the Actual Ancient People" in Don's tree as a part of the structure; view details: https://donshave.website/Tree/DJ_Tree/individual.html#12809 ----------------------------------------------------------------- A source (sadly lost) reported that Žeden was at that time near the north-western head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea Scanning Google maps shows the area as mostly desert between the 2 rivers; the Al-Rashid Mosque is nearby but likely not connected to this place A search for Žeden today shows it is in Macedonia: https://www.mindat.org/feature-783951.html
