In which country is the Garden of Eden located? Genesis 2:15(NIV)


  The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it
  and take care of it.


I'm curious to know, now, in which which country is the Garden of Eden located? (which is mentioned in Genesis)
Per Genesis 2:


  10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[d] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.


While Mesopatamia (i.e. Iraq) is where the Tigris &amp; Euphrates are, the remaining two rivers (Gihon is in Israel, and the Pishon is, I believe unknown, though some scholars think it is the Nile) are not.

There are thus two possibilities:


The Flood altered where these rivers flowed
The location is not meant to be literal


In any event, the Flood probably did wipe out the Garden of Eden, and even if it didn't, there was an angel (in Genesis 3:24) who is guarding the entrance.



Update: For an interesting excursion into the idea of "mapping" Eden, check out this article showing maps of Eden from 1914.  They are highly speculative, but show the diversity of thought around where Eden might be.
