Overview

The proposed location of the region, which once contained the Garden of Eden, is controversial. This manuscript reviews the debate and analyses the proposed locations for Eden in Turkey, Iraq and Israel incorporating data from palaeontology, archaeology, geology, history, and Hebrew references from the Tanakh (Bible). In addition, Biblical references suggest the classification of groups of plants and animals, the association of certain flora and fauna, and the presence of at least three types of gardens. These three Biblical gardens correlate with paleontological assemblages from the three geological eras of the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. The Biblical account of the creation of plant and animal kinds and their placement in gardens throughout the earth suggests an ancient explanatory model for paleontological assemblages. In modern paleontological studies, plants and animals increasingly overlap their alleged temporal boundaries and yet certain floral and faunal groups continue to be found associated with each other in geographical locales.
