Where was the Garden of Eden located? Scientist proposes new theory

In a groundbreaking theory published in Archaeological Discovery, computer engineer Dr. Konstantin Borisov suggests that the biblical Garden of Eden might have been located near the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, challenging traditional beliefs that place it in Mesopotamia. This hypothesis is supported by ancient texts and recent simulations of the Great Pyramid's internal structure.

Dr. Borisov's study posits that the Garden of Eden, traditionally believed to be near the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, might have been located in Egypt, the New York Post reported.

For centuries, scholars have located the Garden of Eden in what is now Iraq at the convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This area forms part of the ancient region known as Mesopotamia, frequently referenced in historical and biblical texts as a cradle of early civilization.

However, Dr. Borisov’s proposal points to an alternative location. He argues that the biblical account of Eden's rivers — Tigris, Euphrates, Gihon, and Pishon — aligns more closely with major rivers, including the Nile and Indus, not just those found in Mesopotamia.

His analysis began with an ancient map from around 500 BC, depicting Oceanus, a mythical river believed to encircle the Earth’s landmass. This map crucially shows only four major rivers—Tigris, Euphrates, Nile, and Indus—stemming from Oceanus, matching the biblical description of the rivers flowing from Eden.

Insights from Historical Texts and Ancient Maps

Dr. Borisov supplemented his geographical theories with references to historical documents and maps. Among these, the Hereford Mappa Mundi of the 13th century, which places "Paradise" near a great circular river, offers compelling visual evidence supporting his hypotheses.

Moreover, Borisov’s fascinating interpretation of the Great Pyramid’s structure adds a mythical dimension to his theory, associating it with the biblical Tree of Life. According to his research, the pyramid's internal layout resembles a tree, hinting at a possible direct link between this ancient wonder and Eden's divine tree.

A key aspect of his theory involves particle simulations inside the Great Pyramid conducted in 2012. These scientific studies demonstrated that charged particles could form clusters at the peak of the pyramid, potentially producing light phenomena. Borisov observed that this effect mimics the appearance of a glowing tree with colors predominantly in shades of purple and green, correlating to the Tree of Life’s description.

Scientific Simulations and the Pyramid's Mystique

Dr. Borisov has detailed these simulations extensively in his study. He described the charged particles’ behavior, noting that they "arrange themselves into several parallel branches extending outward, akin to a tree's limbs."

This visual effect is created by the collision of these particles with the nitrogen and oxygen, leading to photon emissions that, intriguingly, glow in the distinctive colors associated with historical depictions of sacred or mythical trees.

"By studying the behavior of these particles, we glimpse what might be a scientific interpretation of the Tree of Life, an image so profoundly intertwined with the lore of Eden," stated Dr. Borisov.

Further Research Needed to Validate New Eden Location

While Dr. Borisov’s findings have stirred the academic community, he readily admits more research is needed. His current evidence, though compelling, relies on interpretations of ancient texts and hypothetical models that need physical corroboration.

He plans to continue this line of inquiry by tracing the ancient course of Oceanus, as depicted on the material he studied. “At this point, all the rivers of the Bible are identified, and it seems that all we need is to follow the course of the Oceanus River around the globe to pinpoint the location of Eden,” he remarked.

Historic connections, like those made by ancient historian Titus Flavius Josephus, who aligned the rivers described in the Bible with known geographical rivers, add a layer of historical validation to Borisov’s theory but also underscore the complexities involved in definitively identifying Eden’s true location.

In conclusion, Dr. Borisov's hypothesis provides a fresh perspective on one of history's greatest mysteries. By combining technological simulations, ancient maps, and classical texts, he invites both scholarly debate and public fascination with the possibility that one of humanity's oldest legends might find its roots not in the fertile crescents of Mesopotamia but in the sandy vistas surrounding Egypt's ancient pyramids.
