The Garden of Eden (from Hebrew גַּן עֵדֶן Gan ‘Ēden) is described in the Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, lived after they were created by God. The past physical existence of this garden forms part of the creation belief of the Abrahamic religions.
The creation story in Genesis relates the geographical location of both Eden and the garden to four major rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates), as well as a number of named regions (Armenia, Ararat, Yerevan or Armenian Highlands) (see Genesis 2:10-14). This seems to suggest a setting in the ancient Caucausas, specifically somewhere in or near Armenia. However, because the identification of these rivers has been the subject of much controversy and speculation, a substantial consensus now exists that the knowledge of the location of Eden has been lost. There is yet no other indication found of its existence beyond the record found in Genesis and other early Judaeo-Christian literature, such as Jubilees.
