Scientist Claims to Have Found the Biblical Location of 'Garden of Eden' And No, It’s Not in Modern-Day Iraq

The Bible is filled with many captivating tales. For decades, experts have been trying to verify whether these tales are authentic or fantastical. Recently, a computer scientist has determined that a very popular location mentioned in the Bible is authentic, stated LAD Bible. The scientist published his findings in Archaeological Discovery. 

Computer scientist, Dr. Konstantin Borisov, claimed that the Garden of Eden is a real place on Earth. He asserts that this garden is present in Egypt. The study further indicated that the Tree of Eternal Life was where the Great Pyramid of Giza now stands. The Holy Book suggested that the Tree of Eternal Life supposedly bore fruit that would provide immortality to its eater.  As per the Bible, the Garden of Eden was the place where God put Adam and Eve, and later expelled them from that location because of their defiance. The Bible mentions that the garden had a flowing river, which split into four branches, namely Gihon, Euphrates, Tigris, and Pishon.

Before this study, the popular belief was that if the Garden existed, it was in Iraq because two rivers named Tigris and Euphrates are found in the area, stated Daily Mail. Borisov challenged this assertion. He cited a map that showed a circular world, enveloped by a river called Oceanus, with a place called 'Paradise,' or Eden, right at the top. "By examining a map from around 500 B.C., it becomes apparent that the only four rivers emerging from the encircling Oceanus are the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, and Indus," Borisov explained. The analysis indicated that Gihon was the Nile while Pishon was Indus.

The identification of four rivers, along with findings from other sources, made the scientist conclude that the Garden was present in Egypt, according to the study. To pinpoint the exact location in Egypt where the garden was present, the scientist claims he needs to understand the course of Oceanus. 

The study claimed that the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed where the Tree of Eternal Life once stood, based on the charges spotted at its peak. "It cannot be overlooked, the charge particles in this simulation are arranged in a way that creates several parallel branches extending outward from the center line, creating a tree-like representation," Borisov added. The charges were forming patterns that appeared to be like tree branches, making the scientist speculate that the spot could have once held the Tree of Eternal Life. 

In 2021, experts created computer simulations of how the insides of the king's chamber looked and spotted the charged particles in the process. "While emitted from the pyramid, the charge particles collide with neutral nitrogen and oxygen atoms, leading to their ionization, resulting in the release of photons, predominantly in shades of purple and green," Borisov shared. "In the simulation, each branch corresponds to a layer of beams in the relieving chamber, with five layers in total. Consequently, the simulated tree has five distinct branches."

The study included the 500 B.C. map, and other sources like ancient Greek texts, medieval maps, mythological symbolism, geographic analysis, accounts provided by early historians, and biblical scriptures to make its assertion.
