The Israelite word for Eden is Aten, which is very similar to the Egyptian word "Atlen" which means "[[Atlantis]]". Atlantis is also believed to be the origin of mankind.<ref>http://www.lilithgallery.com/library/TheSearchforEden.html The Search for Eden / Atlantis</ref>

The trees in the garden of Eden were people. Throughout the Bible, trees are used to symbolize people ie., Jesus is the vine, we are the branches, the two witnesses etc.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every '''tree''' that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
And the Bible tells of a ruler who was in the garden:
Eze 31:3 '''Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar''' in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Eze 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the '''trees''' of the field.
Eze 31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the '''trees''' of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
Eze 31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, '''and under his shadow dwelt all great nations'''.
Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Eze 31:8 '''The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him''': the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; '''nor any tree in the garden of God''' was like unto him in his beauty.
Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: '''so that all the trees of Eden''', '''that were in the garden of God, envied him.'''
Eze 31:16 '''I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall''', when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: '''and all the trees of Eden''', the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
For more references on trees symbolizing people see: Jdg 9:7-15, Daniel 4:20&21, Rev 11:3&4, Gen 49:22, Eze 17:2-13, John 15:1, and Matthew 3:10.
