Historians say that The Garden of Eden is in Mesopotamia;the cradle of life/Babylon (the current Iraq).
If so, then why are there people living in that area? A cherubim with a flaming sword was guarding that place right? And even after the Great Flood, I don't think the cherubim would be affected by flood waters right? A cherubim is a high rank angel and angels are etheral beings, so physical water wouldn't affect them.
So, what gives? Was the cherubim decommissioned or something?

And if the tree was "taken away" because of the flood, then it means that somehow some creature may have swallowed the solution (fluid with substance dissolved in it) of the tree's fruits and liquids with the flood waters.
So, somehow, it may have been passed on to some animals or something.

Cherubim is plural. Not just one Cherub was put there, but more than one. The point of placing the Cherubim and the flaming sword at the entryway to Eden was to prevent Adam and Eve from having access to the Tree of Life.
The Flood removed that tree. Thus, there has been no need to guard against humans having access to it since the end of the Flood.

Decommissioned yes when God took the garden containing the Tree of Life into heaven.

There have been so many theories or "discoveries" regarding the true location of the garden of Eden but no one can certify that the place has been exactly found. I don't think God would have someone to likely discover the place, even by accident. We will only know the truth when the time comes.

Eden has been removed long ago. After the flood, it was no longer available to anyone.
Iraq isn't Eden. The flood changed pretty much everything.

After the flood, the Garden of Eden no longer existed. There was no longer any need to block entrance to it.
