The Book of Genesis provides a description of the location of the Garden of Eden, indicating its position in relation to the convergence of four rivers. Among these rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon remain largely unidentified, adding an air of mystery to their possible locations. In contrast, the two other rivers are widely recognised as the Tigris and the Euphrates, which flow through modern-day Iraq. This almost universal identification lends significant credence to the theory that the Garden of Eden could be situated at one of the two extremes of these famous rivers—either at their northern reaches, which are near the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, or further south, close to the marshlands of southern Mesopotamia. Each suggested location offers a compelling backdrop for the biblical narrative, evoking images of lush landscapes and abundant resources that characterise ancient Edenic descriptions.
