Where is the Garden of Eden?

Armenian Manuscript - The Creation of the World

I always thought the Garden of Eden was non existent after sin entered a perfect world.  Some believe the Bible, however, gives its location.

Armenians, of course, think they know.  According to this article, the Bible places it somewhere near or in Armenia or where Armenians have populated since forever.

100 years 100 facts

The Armenian manuscript depicting Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden is currently hanging in the J. Paul Getty Museum.  I want to go see that.  I love that museum.

Another interesting fact was about the city of Yettem in California.  Barreling along highway 99 you see it as a flash along that boring route taking you up and down California.  All this time I did not know that the city was settled by Armenians who petitioned for the name change to Yettem which is how Eden is pronounced in Armenian.  How did I miss that?
