That's probably the region described in the OT. But others claim the actual Garden. Afghanistan is another location.

Oh, Oh.
What if there is a hemp patch in the Garden?

When they find Cherubim, and a flaming sword that turns every way, then I think we can be certain that the Garden has indeed been found.

Good evidence for the location. The agrainian vs. hunter gatherer thing is pure speculation.
The fact the Hebrew story uses Eden instead of Dilmun shows that the bibical account is of greater antiquity than the Gilgamesh version.

Interesting story, although Turkey is likelier if you take seriously the reading in Genesis that it's somewhere around the heads of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Milton speculates in Paradise Lost (Book 10) that God destroyed the Garden of Eden in Noah's flood, washing it down the river to the Persian Gulf:
but all the Cataracts
Of Heav'n set open on the Earth shall powre [ 825 ]
Raine day and night, all fountains of the Deep
Broke up, shall heave the Ocean to usurp
Beyond all bounds, till inundation rise
Above the highest Hills: then shall this Mount
Of Paradise by might of Waves be moovd [ 830 ]
Out of his place, pushd by the horned floud,
With all his verdure spoil'd, and Trees adrift
Down the great River to the op'ning Gulf,
And there take root an Iland salt and bare,
The haunt of Seales and Orcs, and Sea-mews clang.

I would love to believe this is true but after a global flood and other changes I doubt that we'd be able to find ANY eveidence of it. Even if we found vegitation consistent with a tropical kind of climate through fossils etc. we couldn't link it emphatically with the Garden of Eden.
Now the ark on the other hand appears to have more possibilities of being dtermined true or false on My Arat. That has always been a favorite topic of interest. Any more news on that?

"An oldie, but a goodie." Agree with you there, but why put it under news/current events?
