 Has the Garden of Eden been located at last?
In Hebrew the geographical reference was to "Gush" or "Kush." The translators of the King James Bible in the 17th century rendered Gush or Kush as "Ethiopia"---which is further to the south and in Africa--thus upsetting the geographical applecart and flummoxing researchers for centuries.
Their original "Eden" was gone but a new one called Dilmun, on higher ground along the eastern coast of Arabia, enters the epics and the poems in the third millennium i.e.

 EdensFourRiversPartTwo
Thus Eden's ONE RIVER which became four rivers, the Gihon in Cush (modern Sudan, ancient Egyptian Kush, Greek Ethiopia), the Pishon or Wadi Baish near the Haulan (Havilah/Hawilah), NW of Sana in the Yemen, became the "mythical" River of Eden.
Eden's Cedars are apparently being associated by Ezekiel with the Lebanon mountains not a Mesopotamian "plain." Yet the Mesopotamians referred to their temple-ziggurats as "mountains," (the Nippur ziggurat being called e-kur, "house-mountain") and it is this archaic Sumerian notion of god's gardens near ziggurat-mountains that _I suspect_ is confusingly fused with Ezekiel's imagery.
Skinner (1930) was correct, Eden is a myth based on a later Hebrew "re-working" of earlier Mesopotamian myths which sought to explain the origins of man and of civilization and a flood sent to destroy mankind, and Delitzsch (1881) was correct in identifying edin-the-plain with the biblical Eden.

 Stephen Caesar's Articles
However, Gen. 2:8-13 indicates that Eden had a specific geographic location, especially since two of its rivers, the Euphrates and the Hiddekel (Tigris) are two of the best-known rivers in the ancient world.
The area he investigated was located at the junction of four rivers: the Tigris (Hiddekel); the Euphrates; the Karun River in southwestern Iran, which Dr. Zarins postulates is the Biblical Gihon; and the now-dry riverbed Rimah-Batin, which Zarins believes is the Pison.
Eden, Zarins concludes, lies under the mouth of the present Persian Gulf between Iraq and Iran.

 The First River of Eden!
While two of the four rivers mentioned in this passage are recognizable today and flow in the same general location as they did before the Flood, the other two have apparently disappeared from the face of the earth.
The main reason the account of the rivers of Eden is so difficult to understand is because the interpreters of the Bible have completely missed the point of what Moses was saying.
Moses is showing that the Land of Eden had its southern border at the HEAD OF THE PERSIAN GULF and that the Garden itself was located a few miles UPRIVER at the place where the four rivers came together.

 The Land of Eden Located Chapter One
So many have taken this to mean that the river divided and became four rivers, like the dividing of a river at its delta, that it is difficult to shake the idea, although it always lands the expounder into difficulties.
For one river to split into four, is, I believe, absolutely unknown anywhere in the world, though if such a case were found, it would still be a case of four rivers with one head, and thus could not be a parallel to our text.
One river with four heads is sensible, it is a common sort of fact all us; but four rivers with one head is contrary to the facts of geography.

Because I understand that the Euphrates is the "river of Eden" which becomes four rivers, it finally dawned on me that it is a single river ONLY in the high plain or "steppe," once it leaves this area near Sippar it breaks up into numerous channels across the flood-plain.
Because I understand that edin is the Mesopotamian plain from Harran to Eridu, the river of Eden mentioned in Genesis is the Euphrates from the Habur river to Ramadi.
The latter river was not edged eastwards into its modern bed until after the Kassite period in the later second millennium (Steinkeller 2001).

The throne he sits upon has pots of two streams of freshwater gushing from them to show he is the source of the freshwater rivers.  So, it is quite clear that the Sumerians and Babylonians understood that freshwater rivers originated from a freshwater stream in the depths of the salty ocean.
I suspect that the Hebrew notion that there is one source for the five rivers of Paradise is a reflex of the ancient Sumerian notion that the god who fills rivers with water dwelt in Eridu, in Lower Mesopotamia in his Abzu house, the source of all freshwaters.
