In fact, the Bible is mostly a book about history and nothing that modern man can not understand in it. We just need to translate it properly. I translated and I think that many people should know what is written there. Basically it describes the history of one nation, but there are a number of interesting facts. At the very beginning of the book of Genesis describes the creation of the world and it's about the Basic Tables (tablets of the Covenant), but I'll write about them later. I'll start with Adam and eve. Adam and eve ate Lotus and mistakenly began to be etched with a water Lily because of the similarity of their root-stem (snakes ). Adam translated soft hole, a hole without a solid. If much detail the hole devoid of the original firmament. Eve means - all consuming. The fact that mint Lotus flowers weaken the sense of smell and lead to errors in the choice of food. In this case, eating by mistake the flowers of water lilies contain a poisonous alkaloid and glycoside Nimfey
