Based on my previous studies I believe this is the Garden of Eden. Evidence includes the rivers described in the Bible. Also, it was destroyed by a flood.
The real garden of Eden was in New Zealand. Don't forget that long after Adam left the garden, Noah spend a month on the high seas and was blown all the way to the Middle east. The massive geological effects that caused the flood and the flood itself changed the face of the earth so much that you can no longer accurately identify the exact rivers in New Zealand.

[i]The Genesis creation narrative relates the geographical location of both Eden and the garden to four rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates), and three regions (Havilah, Assyria, and Kush).[2] There are hypotheses that place Eden at the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates (northern Mesopotamia), in Iraq (Mesopotamia), Africa, and the Persian Gulf.

Theres no apple in the Garden story nit wit.
Perhaps I had popular Christian tradition in mind.

If they don't find it, then we can trust that it is just a myth, and nothing more.

Every time I turn around science discovers something else that disproves it's former findings.
Scienanarchy!
That's my new word for today. 🙂
