A:Biblically, the Garden of Eden continues to be called just that, the Garden of Eden. As to its present location, Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that there can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers identified with the Garden of Eden. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second to the south. He calls the Garden of Eden a purely mythic place.
