CENTURIES : OLDER THAN THE BIBLE

Archaeologists excavating the ruined city of Tepe Gawra, in Assyria, which was destroyed 4,000 years before the birth of Christ, have discovered a picture of Adam and Eve 6,000 years old.

The excavators, working under the leadership of Dr. E. A. Speler, of the University of Pennsylvania, had dug down through the ruins of seven cities built on top of each other when they came to another. Here they found the impression of a seal on a amall clay tablet.

This shows a bearded figure with a female figure apparently support ing him. Both are followed by n serpent, indentified by in triango- lar head. It is Adam and Eve and The snake.
