according to terje stordalen, the eden in ezekiel appears to be located in lebanon. "[i]t appears that the lebanon is an alternative placement in phoenician myth (as in ez 28,13, iii.48) of the garden of eden", and there are connections between paradise, the garden of eden and the forests of lebanon (possibly used symbolically) within prophetic writings. edward lipinski and peter kyle mccarter have suggested that the garden of the gods (sumerian paradise), the oldest sumerian version of the garden of eden, relates to a mountain sanctuary in the lebanon and anti-lebanon ranges.
