# Eden, garden of Eden # ## Facts: ## In ancient times, Eden was a region that had a garden where God placed the first man and woman to live. * The garden where Adam and Eve lived was only part of Eden. * The exact location of the region of Eden is not certain, but the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were flowing through it. * The word "Eden" comes from a Hebrew word meaning "to take great delight in."
