Was the real Jewish Garden of Eden located in Jerusalem?

What I am saying is that it is not debated that these multiple authors that redacted the text to monotheism to Yahweh may have viewed others as idol worshippers, but that it did not reflect the majority of the population. They held a partial position.

Geographic location matters not and especially in Jerusalem where multiple cultures gathered.

Around the time of the verse in question before the text evolved "King Josiah" era, monotheism to Yahweh was not well established in all the people. And just because the political decision for the people to become monotheistic, does not mean it even held the majority position.
Then we are arguing at cross purposes. I look at the verse with 2 clauses and simply say "the admission is of idolatry at a certain time and/or place" and I won't then accuse the text of manipulating the time/place aspect but rely on the admission of idolatry. Others seem to want to accept the admission but then say that the time and place are incorrect.
