says
One of the strongest possibilities, based on speficially matching archaeological evidence, was proposed by archaeologist David Rohl, and puts the garden in the north-western Iran. According to him, the Garden was located in a vast plain referred to in ancient Sumerian texts as Edin (lit. "Plain", or "Steppe") east of the Sahand Mountain, near Tabriz. He cites several geological similarities with Biblical descriptions, and multiple linguistic parallels as evidence. In the Sumerian texts, an embassary is sent north through "Seven Gates", also known as Mountain passes in ancient texts. Hebrew lore includes references to Seven layers of Heaven, the 7th being the Garden of Eden, or Paradise. Just beyond the seventh gate, or pass, was the kingdom of Arrata. The region today is bound by a large mountain range to the North, East and South, and marsh lands to the west. The eastern mountain region has a pass which leads in and out of the Edin region. This fits with the Biblical geography of Eden containing marsh lands to the west, and the Land of Nod to the east, outside the Garden. Geographically speaking, it forms a "wall" around the Garden, which conforms to the definition of the Persian word pairidaeza, or Paradise, as a "walled garden or park". Additionally, this location is bound by the four bibical rivers to the West, Southwest, East and Southeast.

The early civilization that originated that story lived in the fertile Crescent.....the area along the flood plains of the Tigress and Euphrates Rivers known as Mesopotamia. Today that area is called Iraq. So, I suppose the biblical "Garden of Eden" would have been about where Baghdad is today.

No.
Think about it: Wouldn't it have been washed away in Noah's flood if it were real?
