If you tried to take a literal translation of the specific location given from the Bible, you would end up around that area. What I have tried to show, is fundamental religious ideas usually come from other areas, other religions/cultures. One of the first was Sumer, the 'Epic of Gilgamesh' is a direct antecedent of the Hebrew story of Adam and Eve. Read for yourself, there are many translated links on the net. It places the 'Garden of Eden' somewhere close to the ancient city of Uruk. Today this would be the forests around Nasiriyah, maybe even as far south as Basrah - but not likely, who knows? But this is the region given from the predecessor of the Bible story in question.
