A:The story of the Garden of Eden identifies four rivers: Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. There can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the text associates the first river with Havilah, possibly a reference to the Arabian peninsula, and the second with Ethiopia, in faraway Africa.

Was the Garden of Eden in Babylon?

Genesis chapter 2 says that a river flowed through the Garden of Eden and that it had four tributaries, two of which were the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers, which flow through ancient Babylonia. However, the passage also says that one of the other tributaries was the Gihon, which flows through Ethiopia. Although there is no river Gihon and appears never to have been such a river, this information places the Garden of Eden far away in in Ethiopia.A single river can not have tributaries in two continents, so the Garden of Eden can not really have been in either babylonia or Ethiopia. This is further evidence that there was no Garden of Eden. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place.

How did the Tigres-Euphrates river aid in the discovery of the origin of man?

According to Genesis 2 of the Bible the location of the Garden of Eden was where 4 rivers came together. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.


What is the Garden of Eden called now?

The Garden of Eden is not known to have a current specific name, as it is a mythical or religious location that exists in texts such as the Bible and Quran. The exact location of the Garden of Eden is not definitively known, and it is often considered a symbolic or metaphorical place rather than a physical one.


What is the modern name of the Garden of Eden?

A:There is no modern Garden of Eden, nor any location that could have been the Garden of Eden. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place, as indicated by the fact that there canbe no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second way to the south.


Could the Congo basin be the Garden of Eden?

-----------------------No. Genesis 2:14 says that the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flowed out of the Garden of Eden, which means that the garden was in Asia. Genesis 2:13 says that a river flowed out of the garden to water the land of Ethiopia, which means that the garden was in the horn of Africa, far from the Congo. Verses 13 and 14 contradict each other, perhaps indicating that the source knew little about the world outside Palestine. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place and should be regarded as such.
