Additional info/contents	It is still a dark night on the “Nemrud”. The black night sky in the east is only gradually brightening. There was the ancient Mesopotamia. The rivers Euphrates and Tigris rise up here in the mountain range in southeastern Turkey. This is where he is said to have been; the Garden of Eden. A paradise where the first humans, Adam and Eve, lived and from where, according to biblical stories, they were then expelled. It is very quiet on top of the “Nemrud Mountain”, almost eerie and time seems to stand still. The only thing you can hear are the calls of the muezzine from villages further down. Their calls mix into a strange, yet calming sound field. It takes us away to the time when the first people lived here, Adam and Eve. Suddenly we find ourselves in the Garden of Eden and hear a small, lively dance melody that gives an idea of how carefree and happy life in the Garden of Eden must have been. A garden full of fruits, flora and fauna in lush form, complete and beautiful. There is only a ban. It is forbidden to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. But Adam and Eve are put to the test several times. The very cunning snake finally manages to seduce Eve and, against the express prohibition, they eat fruit from the “forbidden” tree. As soon as it happened, God's wrath hits Adam and Eve and both are chased away from paradise. From then on, an angel with a flaming sword guards the entrance to the Garden of Eden so that no one can ever enter it again. The call of the muezzine brings us back to the present, it is morning on Nemrud. The last memory of our dream remains the powerful, fierce angel with the flaming sword guarding paradise.
