Answer 3

The Garden of Eden (Hebrew "pleasure" גַּן עֵדֶן Arabic: جنات عدن Gan ‘Ēden,) [1] is described in the Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, lived after they were created by God. This garden forms part of the creation myth and theodicy of the Abrahamic religions. The creation story in Genesis relates the geographical location of both Eden and the garden to four rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates), and three regions (Havilah, Assyria, and Cush [often translated as Ethiopia][2]).

Eden's location remains the subject of controversy and speculation among some Christians. There are hypotheses that locate Eden at the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates, in Iraq (Mesopotamia), Africa, and the Persian Gulf, among others though some Christians see it as metaphorical.

Answer 4

The Bible describes the Garden of Eden as being near four rivers:

"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, . . . The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.  The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates." [Genesis 2:10-14]

The Pishon river seems to be gone, and the location of the Gihon is questionable, but we KNOW where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are -- in Iraq, near Baghdad.

So the Garden of Eden was somewhere in the region of Iraq.
