Once Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden in Genesis chapter 3, an angel with a flaming sword was placed there to prevent humans from re-entering the Garden. It is never mentioned again in scripture. So apparently no one has been able to find or return to it.
Plus, if its location were matched with the current countries and rivers baring the names given in the Bible (and there is no way to know if the rivers we call by those names are the correct ones), then the location of the Garden is currently underwater in between the Middle East and eastern Africa. So it is unlikely to be a graveyard....

Ummm...I`m not sure wher you got th idea for this question.
If you were goin by a strictly Biblical account,then no.After the first humans were cast out,an angel(messenger of God) was positioned @ the east gate to keep mankind out,and some would say that when the faultlines of th earth broke open durin noahs flood to let th water out Eden was buried,under jerusalem,only to resurface when Christ returns and the earth splits open @ mount of olives(theres a big faultline there).
The thing is Eden translates as"th centre of His delight",and speakin to some Hebrew christians lately,they suggested that Eden was a spiritual dimension connected to th planet,but outside our timeframe,so th earth may hav been goin on for millenia,and developin its geographical structures before man sinned and was cast into it,so then that spiritual plane and gateway are closed to us @ this time,
Th theory that it became a graveyard may hav formed in jewish cabbalist myth,but i`m not well enough read in that area to b sure.
Where Christ is,there is Heaven,may you b @ th centre of his delight

No that doesn't even occur in Paradise Lost which is full of additions to the creation story. What happens when they're turned out is cherubim guard the entrance with a flaming sword that turns all directions.

By my thinking, no. Why would God put an angel with a flaming sword to guard it at the entrance if He were going to turn it into a graveyard?

Not that I am aware of. When Adam and Eve ate from the fruit tree that they forbidden to, God did not let them to enter Eden ever again. Life was dreamy until Eve listened to that damn snake. On ya Eve!!I can not remember exactly, but I think I might ask my mum this one!

After the flood the whole world was a grave yard for a period.
