Introduction
Section 1: The Nodites and Amadonites
The UBtheNEWS Research on the Double Dual Origin of Modern Man and pre-Modern Man page is a collection of scientific articles related to the Andon-Sangik pre-Modern Man genetic mutations and the Nodite-Adamite Modern Man genetic introductions. This Research page can be appreciated more readily if one first becomes familiar with the Topical Study: Genetic Introductions, Mutations, and Evolution: a Urantia Book perspective, the Adam and Eve Report, and the Gobekli Tepe Report.
p6: Genesis 6:4 “Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.”
See Wikipedia page on: Nephilim and the above referenced Topical Study.
The Wikipedia page: Van, Turkey provides some information on Lake Van and the ancient Urartu civilization. Also see Wikipedia page: Urartu. See 2017 National Geographic video showing discovery of underwater castle in Lake Van, possibly from the Urartu civilization.

Section 2: Planning For The Garden

cross-reference: 43:6.2.
Section 3: The Garden Site
When The Urantia Book was first published, sonar readings needed to create a detailed map of the eastern Mediterranean basin did not exist. Such maps were not created until decades after its publication. See UBtheNEWS reports: Garden of Eden; Pangaea To Plate Tectonics.
p3: Genesis 2:5,6“No bush of the field was yet on the earth and no vegetation of the field had begun sprouting, because Jehovah God had not made it rain on the earth and there was no man to cultivate the ground. But a mist would go up from the earth, and it watered the entire surface of the ground.”
p4: The arrow along the coast of Syria in the image above represents 27 miles.
p4: Genesis 2:10 “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.”
p4: metric conversion: “. . . mainland was only 43 km wide at the narrowest point.”
cross-references:51:3.2
p5: See Topical Study: Food For Though.
Section 4: Establishing The Garden
Section 5: The Garden Home
See Robert Sarmast’s Atlantis/Eden project.
p8: See Topical Study: Food For Though.
p2: metric conversion: “. . . irrigation ditches and more than 19,300 km of paved paths and roads.”
p3: water See Marjorie Ray’s presentation on water at the 2016 Scientific Symposium held at Urantia Foundation. Watch a video showing the peculiar relationship that your editor has to ice spikes or Halbertcicles, as I like to call them. Here’s one I call “The Spherical Cube”:
p4: metric conversion: “. . . emptied into the river of Eden almost 1.6 km beyond the outer or lesser wall of the Garden.”
Section 6: The Tree Of Life
See Wikipedia: Tree of Life to learn about Tree of Life mythology from around the world.
p1: Revelation 22:1-2 “Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
p7: Genesis 3:24 “So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.”
See also:
Genesis 2:8-9 “The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
Genesis 3:22-24 “Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”– therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.”
