Eve and the apple

Ева и яблоко

In the garden of Eden
The black snake talked with Eve
He said, take that big apple
It won’t give you any grief

She said
No, it ain’t mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine

Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise

Every boy and girl
Ask their mom or dad
About a place here on earth
Where little Eve once said

No, it ain’t mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine

Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise

And the sun went down
In that world of light
And the sun went down
In that world of light
And the sun went down
In that world of light

In the garden of Eden
The black snake talked with Eve
He said, take that big apple
It won’t give you any grief

She said
No, it ain’t mine
But a taste must be sweeter than wine

Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise
Well she took the apple
And we lost paradise

В Эдемском саду
Черный змей разговаривал с Евой.
Он сказал: «Попробуй большое яблоко,
Это не принесет тебе никакого горя».

Она сказала:
«Нет, оно не моё,
Но вкус, должно быть, слаще вина. »

Она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.
И она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.

Каждый мальчик и каждая девочка
Спрашивают своих родителей
О том самом месте на Земле,
Где маленькая Ева однажды сказала:

«Нет, оно не моё,
Но вкус, должно быть, слаще вина. »

Она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.
И она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.

И зашло солнце
В том мире Света.
И зашло солнце
В том мире Света.
И зашло солнце
В том мире Света.

В Эдемском саду
Черный змей разговаривал с Евой.
Он сказал: «Попробуй большое яблоко,
Это не принесет тебе никакого горя».

Она сказала:
«Нет, оно не моё,
Но вкус, должно быть, слаще вина. »

Она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.
И она взяла яблоко,
И мы потеряли рай.

History

American Revolutionary War

Apple of Eden #3 was one of the numerous artifacts created by the First Civilization to control the minds of their slave race, the humans. After the Toba catastrophe in 75010 BCE, the First Civilization slowly became extinct, and the Pieces of Eden were scattered around the world. [5]

Prior to the Siege of Yorktown, the Freemasons were in possession of the Apple, taking it to the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain across the Atlantic Ocean. [1]

In October 1781, during the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army defeated the British at the Siege of Yorktown, marking the decisive victory for the revolutionaries. During the British surrender, Commander George Washington found the Apple of Eden on «a British officer» and, enchanted by the artifact’s allure, took it from him — though he later could not remember the officer’s face. [2]

After the war ended in 1783, Washington started to be plagued by dreams and visions created by the Apple, showing Washington being corrupted by the artifact’s power and taking on the title of King of the United States, becoming a ruthless tyrant. Desperate to stop the visions, Washington sought out his former ally, the Assassin Connor, in the Frontier, explaining the visions to him. Connor wanted to see the artifact, and Washington hesitantly agreed. [2]

As they both touched the Apple, Connor awoke in the alternate reality formed by Washington’s nightmares, though he maintained his consciousness. With aid from American rebels, Ratonhnhaké:ton managed to defeat King Washington, though he too was ultimately drawn in by the Apple’s power. When they both awoke, they both realized the Piece of Eden’s dangers, and Washington told Ratonhnhaké:ton to take it from him and drop it into the sea. [2]

Connor took his ship, the Aquila, out to sea, with the Apple weighted in a bag. In the meantime, a phantom created by the Apple spoke to Washington in his office, attempting to persuade him of a republic’s flaws and to take on the mantle of King. [2]

Washington’s resolve proved stronger, and he refused the man’s advice, and the illusion disappeared as Connor dropped the Apple into the ocean. [2]

Modern times

By 1944, [1] the Apple had been recovered and was in the possession of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States. [6] During this time, he found himself being manipulated by the Templars, alongside Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler, into starting a new World War. [1]

The Apple was later passed down to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President, whom the Templars perceived as a threat in part due to his desire to give workers more civil liberties. Planning his assassination, Abstergo installed their own driver in the President’s motorcade, William Greer–whom they had trained using another Apple–to take Kennedy’s Apple after his death. [1] Unbeknownst to Abstergo, however, Greer was an Assassin acting under the extremist Boris Pash, who planned to take the Apple back to Pash. Before he could do so, however, he was stopped by fellow Assassin Alekseï Gavrani, who took the Apple back to the Brotherhood and vowed to stop Pash’s schemes. [3] However, Gavrani entrusted the Apple to William King Harvey, a high-ranking Assassin who was infact a Templar mole, leaving the fate of the artifact uncertain thereafter. [4]

The Apple of Eden

Spoiler warning Plot and/or ending details follow. Read at your own risk!

The Apple of Eden are the apple fruits in Far Cry New Dawn that grow from the tree at the summit of Joseph’s Sanctuary. The Apple grants superhuman powers called Eden’s Gift to those that consume it. According to Joseph Seed, the Apples of Eden nourish what is in a person’s soul. It can also corrupt a person if their «soul is not pure» and turn them into a shadowy Yeti-like monster.

17 years since The Collapse, Joseph Seed leads his new group, New Eden, who are what remains of his previous flock. New Eden found it very difficult to survive post-apocalyptic America until Joseph discovered their salvation in the form of an apple tree to the north of Hope County. Joseph empowers his «chosen» with miraculous apples from his mystical tree which grants them superhuman strength and durability. This empowerment allowed Joseph’s followers to survive the post-apocalyptic winters, famine, and pestilence. Eventually, the New Edeners thrived and built their own community where they reject everything from the old world and strive to live off the land in peace.

The Security Captain would seek Joseph out in order to get help for the Scavengers’ war against the Highwaymen. Joseph granted the Captain an apple of Eden which forced the Captain to confront a ravenous Bear in a dream state. After defeating the bear and mastering the Gift of Eden, Joseph claimed the «ravenous beast» was «sin» and by defeating it, the Captain refused to feed sin and managed to cleanse their soul.

Ethan Seed’s resentment at being replaced by the Captain eventually led to him betraying New Eden and defiantly consuming an apple of Eden, despite his father’s prohibition of it. Ethan’s soul wasn’t clean however and he transformed into shadowy Yeti; forcing the Captain to put him down.

At the end of the game, Joseph Seed burns the sacred apple tree along with Ethan’s corpse.

History

The artifact was locked inside an Isu temple beneath the Basilica of Saint-Denis near Paris, France. Constructed by the First Civilization, the artifact was capable of empowering the Head of Saint Denis’ to project severely terrifying illusions and imbue weapons with its mystical power. [2]

3rd century

During the 3rd century saint Denis discovored the apple in the saint denis temple. He used the device to bend the minds of people and successfuly converted the local populace to Christianity. After his death his succesor created the Head of Saint Denis and housed the apple inside it, they used the apple to implement the memory of the saint walking with his decaptitated head into the general populace. But it corrupted the mind of the succesor and he returned it to the vault where the saint first found it.

12th century

At some point during the 12th century, the two objects were discovered by the abbot Suger, who used the knowledge he gained from the Apple to create the Eagle of Suger, a powerful sword; moreover, his architectural redesign of the Basilica, generally considered to be the first Gothic church, also came from visions induced by the artifact. [3]

18th century

In August 1794, Napoleon Bonaparte employed a group of tomb raiders led by Philippe Rose to find the Temple and the artifact stored within. Arno Dorian was able to open the temple ahead of the raiders and retrieve the Head of Saint Denis, using its power to repel the raiders and make his escape. [3]

Unwilling to let the artifact fall into Napoleon’s hands, Arno removed the Apple from the lantern and passed it to a member of the French Brotherhood of Assassins, with instructions to bring it to Al Mualim in Cairo. In 1798, Napoleon led an expedition to Egypt, [3] and returned home after acquiring the artifact. [7]

19th and 20th century

The next known owner of the Apple was Harry Houdini, a Hungarian-American magician and escapologist. He used the Apple to execute stunts that, even to this day, are considered impossible. While Houdini officially died from peritonitis from a ruptured appendix, Clay Kaczmarek’s Glyphs suggested that Houdini had been killed by Templar agents who wished to take possession of his Apple. [5]

The Apple was later used in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, to cause the «Phantom on the Hill» effect. This effect created the illusion of a second gunman on the grassy knoll of Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The goal of this illusion was to make it more difficult to persecute Lee Harvey Oswald – a Templar sleeper agent – later on, and to disguise the true intentions of the Templar-executed assassination from later investigation.

Was the ‘forbidden fruit’ in the Garden of Eden really an apple?

By Ashley P. Taylor published 27 March 21

Nobody knows because the Hebrew Bible just says «fruit.»

What’s the likely identity of the «forbidden fruit» described in the Bible’s Garden of Eden, which Eve is said to have eaten and then shared with Adam?

If your guess is «apple,» you’re probably wrong.

The Hebrew Bible doesn’t actually specify what type of fruit Adam and Eve ate. «We don’t know what it was. There’s no indication it was an apple,» Rabbi Ari Zivotofsky, a professor of brain science at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, told Live Science.

The pivotal scene is described in Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible, shortly after God warns Adam not to eat from the «tree of knowledge.» A serpent in the garden, however, tells Eve to go ahead and take a bite.

«When the woman saw that the tree was good for eating and a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a source of wisdom, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, and he ate» (Genesis 3:6), according to the Jewish Publication Society’s translation at Sefaria.org.

As for the type of fruit, it’s described as «just the ‘fruit of the tree,'» Zivotofsky said. «That’s all it says. No identification. We don’t know what kind of tree, we don’t know what fruit.»

The Hebrew word used in that verse is «peri,» a generic word for fruit in both biblical and modern Hebrew, according to Zivotofsky. The modern Hebrew word for apple, «tapuach,» on the other hand, does not appear anywhere in Genesis or in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, Zivotofsky said. (It does appear in other, later biblical texts.) In biblical times, «tapuach,» was a word for generic fruit.

So, if the forbidden fruit wasn’t an apple, what was it?

Rabbis commenting on the Hebrew Bible in the Talmud, a collection of rabbinic teachings and biblical law, and other writings completed by around A.D. 500, have noted several ideas about the mystery fruit’s identity, but — spoiler alert — apple is not one of them, Zivotofsky said.

Over the years, rabbis have written that the fruit could have been a fig, because in the Hebrew Bible, Adam and Eve realized they were naked after eating from the tree of knowledge, and then used fig leaves to cover themselves. Or maybe, some rabbis wrote, it was wheat, because the Hebrew word for wheat, «chitah,» is similar to the word for sin, «cheit,» Zivotofsky said. Grapes, or wine made from grapes, are another possibility. Finally, the rabbis wrote that it might have been a citron, or «etrog» in Hebrew — a bittersweet, lemon-like fruit used during the Jewish fall festival of Sukkot, a harvest celebration in which Jews erect temporary dwellings.

Given all of these potential forbidden fruits, how did apples — which aren’t even from the Middle East, but from Kazakhstan in Central Asia, according to a 2017 study in the journal Nature Communications — become the predominant interpretation?

It turns out this interpretation likely didn’t originate in Jewish lore, Zibotofsky said. «I don’t think that within Jewish tradition it ever did become the apple, meaning in Jewish art, you don’t find that,» Zivotofsky said.

Instead, the possible path from fruit to apple began in Rome in A.D. 382., when Pope Damasus I asked a scholar named Jerome to translate the Bible into Latin, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. As part of that project, Jerome translated the Hebrew «peri» into the Latin «malum,» according to Robert Appelbaum, a professor emeritus of English literature at Uppsala University in Sweden and the author of «Aguecheek’s Beef, Belch’s Hiccup, and Other Gastronomic Interjections» (University of Chicago Press, 2006).

«The word [«malum»] in Latin translates into a word in English, apple, which also stood for any fruit . with a core of seeds in the middle and flesh around it. But it was a generic term [for fruit] as well,» Appelbaum told Live Science. Apple had this generic meaning until the 17th century, according to the Online Etymological Dictionary. Jerome likely chose the word «malum» to mean fruit, because the very same word can also mean evil, Appelbaum said. So it’s a pun, referring to the fruit associated with humans’ first big mistake with a word that also means essentially that.

Meanwhile, paintings and other artistic recreations of the Garden of Eden have helped solidify the apple as the forbidden fruit. In art, unlike in writing, a fruit cannot be purely generic, Appelbaum said. «Artists, more than writers, had to show something,» he said. They didn’t always show an apple: Artistic renderings of the «Fall from Eden» depicted the fruit as a citron («Ghent Altarpiece« by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, 1432), as an apricot («Eve Tempted By the Serpent» by Defendente Ferrari, 1520-25), and as a pomegranate («The Fall of Man» by Peter Paul Rubens, 1628-29), according to Appelbaum.

Yet by the 16th century, the apple had also entered the proverbial fruit bowl. In 1504, an engraving by the German painter Albrecht Dürer and a 1533 painting by German painter, Lucas Cranach the Elder, depicted the fruit as an apple, according to NPR. Also according to NPR, in the epic poem «Paradise Lost,» first published in 1667, English poet John Milton uses the word «apple» twice to refer to the forbidden fruit.

But was the apple in «Paradise Lost» really the apple that we think of today, or was it some generic fleshy fruit with seeds in the middle? There’s at least some room for doubt about that, according to Appelbaum. Milton describes the «apple» once Eve takes a bite, «as being fuzzy on the outside, and extremely juicy and sweet and ambrosial. All words which are attached to peaches,» Appelbaum said.

The so-called Franken-tree, a modern grafted tree bearing 40 types of fruit, didn’t exist in biblical times, but if it did, it just might clear up this mystery.
