Was the Garden of Eden found?

The Garden of Eden can never be found. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says the the story of the Garden of Eden was originally intended as a moral story that told us something about ourselves, not to describe a non-existent paradise.

Answer:

The Garden of Eden was placed "off-limits" to man following Adam and Eve's banishment.

"So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life." (Gen.3:24)

It remained this way until the flood... after which the topography of the earth was altered.

Theories abound as to where it might have been [Jerusalem, among them], but The Bible doesn't say.
