New Theory Suggests the Real Garden of Eden Could Be in Egypt
The Story of Adam and Eve. Painting of Jan Brueghel the YoungerA bold new theory claims the true location of the Garden of Eden—often synonymous with Paradise—has been discovered, and it’s not where most scholars have long believed.
According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were placed in Eden to guard the Tree of Life before being tempted by a serpent to eat from the forbidden tree, leading to their expulsion.
Traditionally, scholars have placed Eden near the convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq, based on Genesis 2:8-14, which describes a river flowing from Eden and splitting into four branches: Pishon, Gihon, Tigris (Hiddekel), and Euphrates. However, one scientist argues that the real Eden may have been in Egypt.
Dr. Konstantin Borisov, a computer engineer, suggests that these biblical rivers align more closely with the Nile River system. He supports his claim by referencing Medieval European world maps, emphasizing that this detail “cannot be overlooked.”
In his 2024 paper published in Archaeological Discovery, Borisov highlights the Hereford Mappa Mundi, a medieval map depicting the world encircled by the ‘Oceanus’ river, with ‘Paradise’ (Eden) positioned at the top.
Even more strikingly, Borisov proposes that the biblical Tree of Life may have stood at the Great Pyramid of Giza. He wrote: “By examining a map from around 500 BC, it becomes apparent that the only four rivers emerging from the encircling Oceanus are the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates and Indus.”
He further explains, “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’s research draws from ancient Greek texts, biblical scripture, medieval maps, and early historians like Titus Flavius Josephus, who wrote in Antiquities:
“Now the garden was watered by one river, which ran round about the whole earth, and was parted into four parts. And Phison, which denotes a multitude, running into India, makes its exit into the sea, and is by the Greeks called Ganges.
“Euphrates also, as well as Tigris, goes down into the Red Sea. Now the name Euphrates, or Phrath, denotes either a dispersion, or a flower: by Tigris, or Diglath, is signified what is swift, with narrowness; and Geon runs through Egypt, and denotes what arises from the east, which the Greeks call Nile.”
Despite these compelling connections, Borisov acknowledges the need to determine “the precise course of Oceanus” for definitive proof.
