Where the Garden of Eden used to be?
You’re probably thinking Shat-Al-Arab (meaning “sandman poop”) in Iraq, where the Tigris and Euphrates flow together, forming three rivers. This region, once a temperate, fertile river valley at the cradle of civilization, is now a desert. Anti-literalist historians figure it is the source for the “Eden myth” as they call it, which they claim is based on this edenic site becoming unliveable.
Aquinas and many others argued that Eden was not corporeal.

Error: I meant that Aquinas and many others argued that Eden WAS corporeal.
