It's worth skipping the first 5 or 6 paragraphs, it's a crappy "come see THE THING"-style pulp to pull you into the article. Lots of talk about how this is the most amazing find ever, no substance as to what it is.

What it is is a large series of stone structures that dates to 12,000-13,000 years ago. That makes them predate the pyramids and stonehenge by more than 8,000 years, and line up pretty neatly with Young Earth Creationism. The geography of the area's pretty much in line with Biblical descriptions of it. Everything's just so right, the only thing that's suspicious is the book plug.

The article has a decent explanation of its theory of Eden, and it all seems nicely thought out (though I admit it's a little... convenient that it all forms a dangerous parallel with our current environmental situation.) I do like the idea that the garden was a big commune of hunter-gatherers who suddenly ran out of eat and had to turn to agriculture, which ruined the land.
