No one will ever know, because after Adam ate the apple, he became so corrupt that he immediately started thinking about slash and burn, to grow coke and some righteous weed.

Some consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide

If your asking where the Bible says it is. Genesis 2:10-14 states the rivers issuing out of Eden were the Euphrates, Hiddekel (known today as the Tigris), Pishon (unknown) and Gihon (also unknown). So, Middle East for sure. Todays source of such rivers would not correspond exactly. Some say eastern part of Turkey. Others the head of the Gulf Coast (Lower Mesopotamia).

Definitely yes.
Refer to Genesis 2:10-14 in the Bible and see for yourself the description of the four rivers that surrounded the Garden of Eden.
They are (1)Pison River (Arabia-Haviliah),
(2) Gihon River (Nile River in Africia) (3) Hiddekel River
( East of Assyria -Yellow River) (4) Euphrates River.
Research these rivers and locate their tributaries.
Further go to www.thetruthishere.com and see maps for these rivers.
You will see that the Garden of Eden was (is) located east of Africa near the equator which surrounds countries such as: Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Somalia.
You will also find that no other continent connect to these four rivers other than Africa.
PS The Middle East is in Africa and Arabia.

the garden of eden was an area in Iraq. modern civilization may well have started in that area. mankind was born in Africa, according to all the evidence.

I agree with you I believe it was in the 'Fertile Crescent' between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. I guess people think of Africa as the cradle of civilization because they are still under developed
