Yes. My Kurd friends in N. Syria told me that the garden of Eden was in that general area where the Tigress and Euphrates Rivers merge (think it is near Raqqa). Noah’s Ark, they say, is in the mountains near there.
And the last villages where they still speak in the dialect of Aramaic that Jesus spoke are near there.
Some of the best (if not The Best) olives in the world grow in Efrin (Afrin) which was stolen by Turkey and ISIS. Fruit trees of many kinds grow there, but it is being hurt by Turkey bottling up the rivers to prevent them coming into N. Syria.
I am skeptical of archeologists who say they know what the climate was 7,000 years ago. A the best it would be a wild a$$ guess. Like the computer predictions for the Covid19 virus. A lot of BS.
You can tell what the climate was like by looking at the layers of soil from each period. If there is silt, sand, clay, peat, etc...high organic content in a given layer implies a wetter climate supporting lots of plant life.
I think the garden of eden is a little farther down stream, but now underwater in the persian gulf. I actually got to go fishing in the gulf out from Kuwait city... few Miles out and it was only 20’ deep if that. I went to the city of Ur also... There had to have been wetter times for that place to have thrived. And when it dried out... The city died.
