  2. Location of the Garden of Eden To the school of theology, the Garden of Eden is a supernatural place on dry land that is protected by a two edged sword so that no one can enter it ever again.  To modern science, the Garden of Eden is about 140 meters below the current sea level just beyond the Persian Gulf.  The bible says, “Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.[...] The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” The Tigris and Euphrates make up two of those rivers, and they both flow into the Persian Gulf.  The other two disappeared with the end of the last ice age.  Sea level before the end of the last ice age was 140 meters below where it is now.  It was not until we had public satellite imagery that could view the topology of the land under water.  Now we can see the topology of the sea floor on Google maps (when you use satellite view).  You can clearly see the ancient riverbeds on the seabed floor.  The Garden of Eden is somewhere around 21.506230, 61.867675
