No. Genesis 2:14 says that the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers flowed out of the Garden of Eden, which means that the garden was in Asia. Genesis 2:13 says that a river flowed out of the garden to water the land of Ethiopia, which means that the garden was in the horn of Africa, far from the Congo. Verses 13 and 14 contradict each other, perhaps indicating that the source knew little about the world outside Palestine. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place and should be regarded as such.
