I dont think they're trying to biblify it, its just that the myth of the "Garden of Eden" would be set at about that time and just because it was mythic doesn't mean it didn't exist (Troy for example).

The place itself is supposedly from ~ 10000BC, in the time of a Hunter Gatherer society before "The Fall", mans fall from grace, changing to a cultivating and animal domestication/rearing society.

How lucky we are that these monoliths were buried, they're 7000 years older than Stonehenge, the animal depictions are truly stunning, (whos to say that Stonehenge didn't have these motifs but were weathered away)
the workmanship of the monoliths without doubt would parallel the pyramid builders art.

This was a a great find!
