New Theory: Garden of Eden Under Giza Pyramid?

A new theory suggests the biblical Garden of Eden may have been located in Egypt, beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza, challenging the traditional Mesopotamian location. Dr. Konstantin Borisov, a computer engineer, published this study in Archaeological Discovery in 2024.

Borisov interprets the biblical rivers as the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, and Indus, referencing a map from around 500 BCE. He draws upon the writings of historian Flavius Josephus, who described a river from Eden dividing into four parts, identifying the Gihon River as the Nile.

He also proposes that the Pyramid of Giza was the site of the Tree of Life, citing simulations of the King's Chamber showing tree-like patterns of light formed by charged particles. Borisov supports his theory with medieval maps depicting a circular world surrounded by Oceanus with Paradise at the top.

Many scholars traditionally believed that Eden was located in Iraq, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are found. Borisov's research uses biblical scripture, medieval maps, ancient Greek texts and accounts from early historians.

Evidence and Interpretations

Borisov highlights maps that show a circular world surrounded by a river labeled 'Oceanus' with Paradise nearby. He also notes simulations showing charge carriers gathered at the peak of the Great Pyramid, arranged in tree-like patterns.

The claim that the Great Pyramid was built where the Tree of Life once stood is based on the idea that anyone who eats the fruit from the tree will have eternal life. The Great Pyramid of Giza stands 455 feet tall and spans about 756 feet in width.
