Clues as to its alleged whereabouts can be found in the Bible, which references four rivers flowing from it (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris and the Euphrates) as well as the land of Cush (now Ethiopia).

This has lead to the general consensus that the Garden of Eden was situated in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), though not everyone is convinced by this interpretation.

Now computer engineer (and member of our forum) Dr. Konstantin Borisov has published a new study in which he contends - rather controversially - that the Garden of Eden is not in Mesopotamia at all but is in fact the site of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.His research involved combining mythological symbolism with a geographical analysis of the region.

"Examining a map from around 500 BCE, it becomes evident that the only four rivers emerging from the surrounding Ocean are the Nile, the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the Indus," he wrote.

"It's clear that the Pyramid itself resembles the sacred Tree of Life."

Dr. Borisov's conclusions have certainly generated some heated debate, although there is still nothing definitive to link the Great Pyramid of Giza with the biblical paradise.

All things considered, we will probably never know if there is any truth to his theory or not.
