Location of the Biblical Eden

Genesis begins with farming. The consequence of Adam's sin was that he became a farmer. Cain was rejected because he was a farmer and his descendants go on to develop civilization. The followers of God continue as shepherds. Eden is at the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates. Considering these facts, it is clear that Eden is in the core area identified on this map.

Notice the location of Gobekli Tepe, the world's oldest known temple, which was buried by human hands. Now there's a mystery.
