Article very short
The article, in my opinion, needs a great deal of meat! I suggest laying it out in this fashion:
- The Biblical account of Eden
- any extra-Biblical account of Eden
- The physical description of Eden
- the conclusions of David Rohl, who matched Eden's physical description with a site in northwest Iran.

...although it would still be considered incest
What does this phrase (that was removed from the article) mean?
- That it was still immoral? No, that's already been answered in the article.
- That it still involves sex between closely-related people? That's already been said.
- That it still involves someone forcing their affections on someone else (as a father on a daughter)? No, that's not what incest actually means (although it frequently has that connotation), and that is not the situation here.
So I see no reason for that phrase being in there.
I'm not happy about the reference to intercourse with Eve (besides, why not a daughter with Adam), as that would be adultery, but between married brother and sister it would have been okay at the time.
