The biblical tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is the only complete account of the events that befell Man following his transportation to the Abode of the Gods in Mesopotamia:
The Deity Yahweh planted an orchard In Eden, in the east. He placed there the Adam whom He had created. The Deity Yahweh caused to grow from the ground very tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for eating. The Tree of Life was in the orchard – the Tree of Knowing good and evil…
The Deity Yahweh took the Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and to keep it: “Eat from every tree of the orchard, except for the Tree of Knowing good and evil. For you will surely die if you eat it.”
Appearing from nowhere, the Serpent challenged God’s solemn warnings:
The Serpent … said unto the woman: “Had the Deity indeed said ‘Ye shall not eat of any tree of the orchard’?” The woman relied: “We can eat the fruits of the trees of the orchard, but not the fruit from the tree at the middle of the orchard. If we eat it or touch it, we will die.
The Serpent said unto the woman: “Nay, ye will surely not die; The Deity does not know that on the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and ye will be as the Deity— knowing good and evil.”
The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and that it was lustful to behold; The tree was desirable to make one wise; She took its fruit and ate it, and gave it also to her mate, and he ate.
The eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves loincloths.
What was the whole confrontation was about?
The continuing biblical narrative confirms the connection between nakedness and the lack of knowing, for it took the Deity no time at all to put the two together:
They heard the sound of the Deity Yahweh walking in the orchard in the day’s breeze. The Adam and his mate hid from the Deity Yahweh amongst the orchard’s trees.
The Deity Yahweh called to the Adam: “Where are you?”
He answered: “I heard you in the orchard and I was afraid, for I am naked. So I hid.”
He said: “Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat?”
Admitting the truth, the Primitive Worker blamed his female mate, who, in turn, blamed the Serpent.
Greatly angered, the Deity put curses on the Serpent and the two Earthlings.
The Deity Yahweh said: “Behold, the Adam has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now might he not put forth his hand And partake also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever?”
The Deity Yahweh expelled the Adam from the orchard of Eden.
Then—surprisingly—“the Deity Yahweh made for Adam and his wife garments of skins, and clothed them.”
The whole incident expelled the Earthlings from the Garden of Eden. It was not a dramatic way to explain how Man came to wear clothes.
Early Sumerian depictions show that there had been a time when Man, as a Primitive Worker, served his gods stark naked. He was naked whether he served the gods their food and drink, or toiled in the fields or on construction jobs. (Figs. 154, 155)
