Daily Dose from Dr. Odd: Apple Maps of Eating, from the Little to the BIG Eat

JF Ptak Science Books    Daily Dose from Dr. Odd

I’ve made a post here before on the location of the Garden of Eating, um, “Eden”, here, which I guess might be the ultimate of all Apple Maps, The Big Eat; but I’ve found these two (below) that are entertaining and probably not interetsing though they are without the overwhelming consequences of the first map. They’re just about apples, and not what apples might represent (which I think was an unwieldy way for a Creator of the Universe to test the future of humankind with).

printed late in the 18th century, probably around 1775, and locates the
GOE far in the north country, near the Dead Sea, deep in old Armenia,
near Mount Ararat (where Noe and his family were supposed to have landed
after the creator flooded the world killing everything, where
everything else, young and old, infant younger, men women children,
beasts and ants, were killed by a wrathful OT maker.).]
