Broadly, this school of thought suggests that the account of Eden in
Genesis is a memory of the pre-Sumerian culture that existed on the
fertile plain of the Arabian Peninsula. It also suggests that Adam’s
rib, which is referenced in the bible, is a mistranslation of the
Sumerian word for rib, Nin-ti, meaning to ‘bring life’. Not
surprisingly, Friedrich Delitzsch (1850–1922), a German Assyriologist,
was the first among numerous scholars to suggest that the Jewish and
Christian term Eden traced back to this term, which has also been
connected with the later Babylonian term ‘Edinu’.

But these were not Sin’s only symbols; he is also associated with the
crescent and the tripod. Not surprisingly, each is a Pagan figure.
Yes and the Tripod is the symbol of alchemy!
