Where Was The Garden Of Eden Located?

Where was the Garden of Eden located? Well, with the help of some modern day maps, names, and a little configuration on linguistics, we can confirm a few things. Let’s dive in… oh yeah, this is AfricaTheLandofShem.com, your online teaching of the truth of the land and people of the Bible.

Genesis Chapter 2 describes the location of the Garden of Eden! If there is a “Garden of Eden,” then there is a reality that there is an “Eden.”

If there is a Garden of Your House, then Your House exists. In other words, Eden is the location, and there is a Garden in or of Eden. Let’s look at the actual scriptures.

Genesis 2:

⁴ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Almighty Creator made the earth and the heavens,

⁵ And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Almighty Creator had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

⁶ But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

⁷ And the Almighty Creator formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The Almighty Creator made the heavens and earth, planted everything, then made the man to manage the grounds.

⁸ And the Almighty Creator planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

The Almighty Creator planted a garden towards the east “In Eden” and placed the man He’d made there.

⁹ And out of the ground made the Almighty Creator to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Now to the Location of the Garden of Eden

¹⁰ And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

¹¹ The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

¹² And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

A river went out of Eden to water the land/garden and it parted into four river heads. Keep this is mind going forward. The ancient names of these rivers may have changed over time. The names written the Bible are retro or back dated. What this means, I’ll explain in a moment. For now, the first river name is Pison (in English). The Pison river compasses or covers the whole land of Havilah where there is much gold and the gold is very good in that land.

So this is where we will start. We have a process to take the names and places mentioned, manipulate them linguistically, and search all variations on ancient and modern maps. Manipulating names and places isn’t as misleading, as it may sound. It is easier to find these locations when they are in their paleo or ancient Hebrew form and especially Bantu languages that we manipulate.

Pison in Paleo Hebrew would turn into Payasan or Payasana. So a search on it would take us to the Philippines or Indonesia, so some ministries have began to teach the Philippines as the Garden of Eden.

Pison spelled as it finds itself in the KJV scripture finds itself in Spain and France. So we have the Philippines, Indonesia, Spain, and France as possible locations for the Pison River. Here is a vital add on; the Pison compasses the whole land of Havilah.

Havilah, in Paleo Hebrew, this is Hawayala or Hawayalaha. Havilah it self if found in Australia as a town and farm, in Canada as a town and lake.

Okay, so far we are all over the globe. We have Philippine/Indonesia reference points, Spain and France, and now Australia and Canada. But we haven’t finished manipulating Havilah. We removed the “H” from the beginning and the ending of Havilah. Then we changed the “V” to a “W” because the “V” was ideally a “U” which the “W” became in Paleo Hebrew. This transforms Havilah to Awila. As we search Awila on today’s modern-maps, we find it in Uganda and even DR Congo as villages and towns.

The major river near Uganda is non other than the White Nile River. Is Pison a switch up of the Nile River?

Let’s go to the second river:

¹³ And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

The second river is Gihon and it compasses the whole land of Ethiopia. Unlike Havilah, Ethiopia does not have to be manipulated as it is squarely been the oldest nation in Africa since the dawn of early civilization. Thus we do not have to go far to find this land. Also think about this, this is Genesis chapter 2; the name Ethiopia came about around the time the Greeks came on the scene. The Hebrew translation of this would have been Kush or Cush.

This is what I meant by the names of these places are retro placed or back dated. The man Cush would not have been around to actually name this land or have it named after him. This means the names we see on them is based on the time period the scribes who wrote it named it. Thus Moses, the alleged author of Genesis said this land is where Kush and the people of Kush dwell. The Greeks changed Kush to Ethiopia. I pray this makes sense.

The river Gihon compasses this land; thus one of the four river heads covers the land of Ethiopia which, like Uganda, is in Africa.

Is the Gihon the Blue Nile?

Let’s keep exploring:

Gihon is Gayahana in Paleo Hebrew. Gayahana sounds a lot like Guyana, which has become Guiana. Gihon spelled as found in the KJV finds us in Palestine (modern-day) as a spring. However, when manipulated as Paleo Hebrew and the word transforms into Guyana, Gihon then can be found in South America, India, and Mozambique (as Guiana).

Gihon compassed the whole land of Ethiopia or Cush. Ethiopia stretched through most of central Africa, coming all the way to modern-day Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Place E. Guinea and Gabon next to Gihon and we have a major play on words. This river head is possibly the Congo River and our possible modern-day locations for the Garden and Land of Eden has just stretched from the east to the west sides of Africa.

¹⁴ And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

The third river is Hiddekel that goes towards the east of Assyria. Hiddekel we manipulated to become Idékél as in the Idékél Mountain in Agadez, Niger. This corresponds with our research of where modern-day Assyria (truly Asura or Asara). Asshur or Asur was a son of Shem and Shem’s children inhabited Northwest Africa.

Eden appears very clearly to be Africa, and the Garden is turning out to be in the southern parts. Therefore, Hiddekel (Idékél) and the eastside of Assyria must be on the continent.

So there we have it, the modern-day Eden and Garden of Eden is Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The fourth river is Euphrates; once again, this is the Niger River today. The four river heads were the Limpopo River, the Nile River, the Congo River, and the Niger River.

¹⁵ And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

In essence, Adam and Eve and their offspring were commanded to keep the Garden of Eden. They were commanded to upkeep and dress the land given to them. This is the land we call Africa today, but simply put it is Eden and the Sub-Saharan areas is the Garden.

Thank you for joining us today, and now you can declare to have found the location of the Garden of Eden.
