where was the garden of eden? exactly?

Answer 1

The garden of Eden was located in Turkey:
The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km (140 mi) SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey. That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the E of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.—Ge 3:24.

Answer 2

The original site of the garden of Eden is conjectural. The principal means of identifying its geographic location is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into four “heads,” producing the rivers named as the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. (Ge 2:10-14) The Euphrates (Heb., Perath´) is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. (Compare also Da 10:4.) The other two rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon, however, are unidentified.

Some, such as Calvin and Delitzsch, have argued in favor of Eden’s situation somewhere near the head of the Persian Gulf in Lower Mesopotamia, approximately at the place where the Tigris and the Euphrates draw near together. They associated the Pishon and Gihon with canals between these streams. However, this would make these rivers tributaries, rather than branches dividing off from an original source. The Hebrew text points, rather, to a location in the mountainous region N of the Mesopotamian plains, the area where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers have their present sources.

The fact that the Euphrates and Tigris rivers do not now proceed from a single source, as well as the impossibility of definitely determining the identification of the Pishon and Gihon rivers, is possibly explained by the effects of the Noachian Flood, which undoubtedly altered considerably the topographical features of the earth, filling in the courses of some rivers and creating others.

After Adam’s banishment from the paradisaic garden, with no one to “cultivate it and to take care of it,” it may be assumed that it merely grew up in natural profusion with only the animals to inhabit its confines until it was obliterated by the surging waters of the Flood, its location lost to man except for the divine record of its existence. Ge 2:15.

Answer 3

The Garden resided east of Eden, according to the Book of Genesis.

Where Eden is, one don't know for sure.

IF Eden IS Earth, then the Garden resided above the Earth. There's no east of Earth, but if you go above, you will come closer to sunrise. Sunrise in middle eastern term means east.

Though post the flood, like it has been said here, the whole Eden is a garden.

Answer 4

The question of ' Where was?" is the problem with your question. As to where is the Garden of Eden is simple; you are standing in it! the planet itself is the garden, that's why nobody can find it, because wherever you go you are standing in it. consider that.

Answer 5

The location of the Biblical GArden of Eden has NEVER been known in modern times... It is presumed to have been in the area of Iraq or Syria.. I have heard mention that it was in Lebanan but to date... nothing.. NOTHING conclusive

Answer 6

Nobody knows. specualtion ranges from central Africa, to another planet. I'd bet on the latter as more likely, since Eden didn't exist outside the fertile mind of the man who wrote genesis.

Answer 7

A description of the Garden promised to the righteous: Therein are streams of water which corrupts not; and streams of milk of which the taste changes not; and streams of wine, a delight to those who drink; and streams of clarified honey.
