A:The biblical text identifies four rivers that went out of Eden, the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. Only the last two of which are clearly known to us, but the Gihon is described as being in Ethiopia, which is actually in another continent.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place - a mere Utopia, literally "no place" - indicated by the fact that there can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second to the south. There never really was a Garden of Eden.

A:It is believed to have been located in southern Babylonia (Iraq), in an area near the Persian Gulf which was later destroyed in the Flood.
