Search for the nugget of truth imbedded within this myth…? 🤷🏻‍♀️🍏🐍🧌Original Sin is a lie…! Or are we to believe that man was a tool created to serve the Gods in their paradise …? The woman then created to serve the needs of the man…? All went well until a 3rd 🤷🏿‍♀️🍏🐍party intervened…? Then the jealous Gods admonished us … evicted us and then condemned humanity to experience “LIFE”🤣💦? To laugh or cry is to ask what won’t people believe…? Whether you call it the Garden of Eden or the Kingdom of Eden makes no never mind to me…?

Now we see mankind on the cusp of creating your very own Adam & Eve…? I’d say this apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.

The "fertile crescent", between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, where all Western civilization began. There be floods. Since rivers do not split apart into two different rivers, it may have been a mistranslation about them flowing out of Eden and then dividing into four rivers. When all the rivers there converge together before flowing into the Persian Gulf.

Speaking of floods, remember Noah? It could be possible that Eden is still submerged beneath the Persian gulf, since the flood. Think about it. Take as long as you need.

THE BEST KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN RECEIVE IS FROM PRE HISTORY AND ARCHIOLOGY. I LOVE LEARNING THIS ON MY OWN.

It seems many events listed in the Pentateuch were first written in the Akkadian literature, like World Flood, equivalent of Adam, god Ishtar etc., at least 500 years before Moses. May be Abraham brought these stories with him when he brought out his people in search of a homeland. And then the Torah was based on some of these stories. Does this make sense?

The biblical Garden of Eden is the Greek mythic Garden of the Hesperides with its Golden Apples and huge dragon [ biblical serpent]...Greek mythology located the Garden of the Hesperides in Morocco ...Havilah [ from Havilah to Shur] , Gihon , a corruption of Sihon which is both the name of a Moroccan river and the name of the giant king of the Amorites who was killed by prophet Moses ,Abzu are in Morocco.,

Most likely the geology of the earth was quite different before the flood than today. And the people after the flood used the names of the rivers from garden Eden for the new discovered rivers. Like the European settlers in America. Which often used the same names e.g. for rivers and mountains (e.g. Sierra Nevada, in Spain and in the western united states). Therefore the garden Eden was in a different shaped earth and most likely not in Mesopotamia.

No where because it's a mythical place

It was never a place. It was a pre-dual consciousness not yet lost in representation and addled by fear.

You know, rivers don't just flow above ground and while you can't plant with any success unless you till the earth, the roots will reach the untilled earth. Just saying...

With all due respect, is it a fact or a theory?

Well, it depends how you see it. The description in the Bible is very specific..
