A scientist has made a bold claim that the Garden of Eden was located in Egypt, rather than the traditionally accepted region of the Middle East.
According to the Bible, the Garden of Eden was a paradise where God placed Adam and Eve and featured a flowing river that split into four branches: Gihon, Euphrates, Tigris and Pishon.
Many scholars believe that because the Tigris and Euphrates are known in the region of Iraq, the nation must be where the Garden of Eden flourished.
However, Dr Konstantin Borisov, a computer engineer, has now argued that these rivers correspond to the Nile (Gihon), Euphrates, Tigris, and Indus (Pishon), which are in alignment with Medieval European world maps.
In his 2024 paper published in Archaeological Discovery, Borisov highlighted maps that show a circular world surrounded by a river labeled ‘Oceanus’ and at the very top of the map is ‘Paradise,’ or Eden, sitting nearby.
‘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 wrote.
Even more, the researcher claim the Great Pyramid of Giza sits where the Tree of Life once grew, which the Bible states bears fruit that gives eternal life to whoever eats it.
Borisov said the study saw charge carriers gathered at the peak of the structure.
‘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.’

While there is no evidence of the Garden of Eden, many scholars believe it was in Iraq because it is home to the Tigris and the Euphrates, which match descriptions in the Bible.
However, locations of the Gihon and the Pishon, if they still exist, are unknown.
This has led to a plethora of suggestions as to where the Garden of Eden might have been, ranging from Iran and Mongolia to Florida.
While the most promising theory is that the Garden of Eden was located in an area called Mesopotamia, Borisov believes he has found clues that it once flourished in Egypt.
Borisov drew from a wide range of sources, including ancient Greek texts, biblical scripture, medieval maps, and accounts from early historians, according to the study that was peer-reviewed.
He also incorporated mythological symbolism, geographic analysis and modern theories, such as Oceanus, to support his reinterpretation of the Garden of Eden’s possible location.
The Book of Genesis 2:8-17 states that a river flowed out of Eden toward the east to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four branches.’
The passage explains that the first branch was Pishon;’it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah.
