<P> Although the Garden of Eden is considered to be mythological by most scholars, there have been other suggestions for its location: for example, at the head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea; and in the Armenian Highlands or Armenian Plateau . British archaeologist David Rohl claims it may have been located in Iran, and in the vicinity of Tabriz, but this suggestion has not caught on with scholarly sources . </P> <P> According to the Bible, the location of Eden is described in the Book of Genesis, chapter 2, verses 10--14: </P> <P> A river flowed from Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided to make four streams . </P> <P> The first is named the Pishon, and this winds all through the land of Havilah where there is gold . The gold of this country is pure; bdellium and cornelian stone are found there . The second river is named the Gihon, and this winds all through the land of Cush . The third river is named the Tigris, and this flows to the east of Ashur . The fourth river is the Euphrates . </P>
