%X In this paper, I propose a new perspective on the location of The Garden of Eden. Through exploration using biblical texts, medieval scholars’ works, and contemporary scholarly research, I aim to reconcile biblical narratives with historical records and scientific findings to support my conclusions. I argue that Eden is situated in Egypt, attributing the origin of the four rivers of Eden to the Oceanus River, a concept initially introduced by the first-century Jewish historian Josephus. I assert that Josephus’ hypothesis may indeed be correct. The tree of life, a vital element of Eden, is suggested to be located in Giza, with the sacred mount identified as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Furthermore, the everlasting spring-like state in the Garden of Eden as alluded in the book of Genesis, impervious to the Earth’s climatic conditions, is also examined in the paper.
