Where was the Garden of Eden located?

Answer 1

Location of Eden. 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. The Euphrates is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. 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.
The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some (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.
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 5

According to myth the Garden of Eden was where humans resided before the fall of humanity into physicality as we know it. Before the separation of the sexes.

The Garden of Eden refers to Heaven, or the Fields of Peace, the World to Come, or that world we are to return to once we endure this human condition, ie we rebalance the male/female. Pre the Fall it is said we were hermaphrodites (both male and female).

Big big subject, but you will not find the Garden of Eden as a geographical place in an Atlas on planet earth. It is not a physical realm. Could be said to be a state of mind, or a state you reach to be able to be part of it, but this is a vague experience to most.

Check out Plato, Jacob Boehme, Rudolph Steiner. Sri Aurobindo, The Mother (India) (not your mother).
