According to the legend, Eve and Adam were exiled to a place with suitable environment. In commemoration of their former home "Eden", Eve and Adam also called this new home Eden (in English, Eden). Its location has always been a mystery. However, after the latest argument by scientists, this mystery is solved.

Picture description: This picture was collected in Turpan, Xinjiang. Fuxi and Nüwa are presented as male and female figures respectively facing each other sideways. Each raises one hand, Fuxi holds a set square, Nüwa holds a compass, and the other hand embraces each other's waist, and the lower body is intertwined in snake shape. The upper part of the picture depicts the sun, with a three-legged bird in the middle, and the lower part depicts the moon, with jade rabbit, osmanthus tree, and toad in it. The dots of different sizes all over the picture represent the stars in the sky. Fuxi and Nüwa are the ancestors of human beings in Chinese mythology. According to the legend, Fuxi and Nüwa are brother and sister, who became pregnant and had humans. This painting has deep and slow line drawing, simple and harmonious colors. The arrangement of the sun, moon, and stars gives a sense of vastness and space, and also shows the noble meaning of Fuxi and Nüwa as the ancestors of mankind. This painting comes from the ancient tomb of Khalahexiu in Xinjiang, which is a relic of the early Tang Dynasty. It is now housed in the Chinese Historical Museum.
