我曾經走過東非，看到人類史上第一個出土的直立人Lucy，還有肥沃月灣兩河流域，這些地方都是已知人類文明的發源地，因此可以說這裡的歷史是最古老也最精彩的。人類的起源一直都是一個非常有趣的問題，而對於被國際媒體刻意減少資訊的伊拉克，我看到的卻是伊斯蘭人民的熱情和好客，這讓我深受感動，這種友善在阿富汗和伊朗也同樣存在。
有許多研究聖經的學者深信，亞當和夏娃最初居住的伊甸園就在幼發拉底斯河和底格裡斯河匯合處的蘇美爾，現在這個地方在伊拉克境內。這些學者認為，聖經中提到的很多地理現象實際上是五至九世紀時該處的地貌，而聖經中所提到的比遜河和基訓河很可能就是那兩條大河的支流，後來它們乾涸了。另一種可能性是它們是古代的運河。
I have traveled through East Africa and seen Lucy, the first upright human ever discovered, as well as the fertile Mesopotamian river valleys, both of which are known to be the cradles of human civilization. Therefore, it can be said that the history here is both the oldest and the most fascinating. The origin of humanity has always been a very interesting question, and despite the intentional lack of information from international media regarding Iraq, what I saw was the warmth and hospitality of the Islamic people, which deeply moved me. This kindness is also present in Afghanistan and Iran.
Many scholars who study the Bible firmly believe that the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve initially lived, was located in Sumer at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which is now within the borders of Iraq. These scholars believe that many of the geographical phenomena mentioned in the Bible were actually the landscape of the region during the 5th to 9th centuries, and that the Tigris and Euphrates mentioned in the Bible were likely their tributaries that later dried up. Another possibility is that they were ancient canals.
