Sons of Cain, Builders of Empires. Paradise Lost Gives Rise to the Birth of City-States. – Part II
After brutally slaying his brother Abel, Cain had to flee Eden and settled in the land of Nod. He laid the foundations of the city Enoch, so named after his firstborn son, Enoch. Cain craved the blessings of the Garden of Eden his parents had experienced and he set out to reproduce the first simulated Garden of Eden. It was here, east of Eden, that Cain’s lineage followed a sedentary lifestyle and the origin of states was established.
