I have always wondered about exactly where the second garden might have been located between the rivers, and looking at them today I tend to think it might have been where the rivers were closest together. But then we cannot assume that the courses of the Tigris and Euphrates are the same today as they were 37,000 years ago, so I could be wrong about that. The main reason I'm curious about it is that Adam and Eve were buried in the temple of the Garden.
They were both buried in the center of the temple of divine service which had been built in accordance with their plans soon after the wall of the colony had been completed. And this was the origin of the practice of burying noted and pious men and women under the floors of the places of worship.
So there was a temple there, and perhaps an archeological dig might find it, if it were known where to look, but then turbulent things are going on in those parts, and it would be quite difficult to secure a dig site, or even to get permission for one. I have seen here a thread about re-creating the Adamic genome, and various possible means of doing that, none of them really practical, but it seems to me that if that temple of the Second garden could be found, and the remains of Adam and Eve found as well, DNA could be recovered. The remains would not be hard to identify as they were both over 8 ft in height.
I'm quite sure I'm not the first to post about this, but I've been thinking about it for years, and have to wonder what others might think.
