BTW Ezekiel 28:13 is describing the breastplate of satan....

Ezek. 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God
Ezek. 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

BTW i think his breastplate was gold inlayed with 9 stones.

On topic: Eden was (partly) on the mountain of God. I think that's mt Moriah but Mt Hermon as suggested by Red isn't impossible either I guess. Both are linked to the presence of God.
So I think Ezekiel 28:13,16 rule out present day Iraq/Mesapotania.

Could it be representing something other than Satan I wonder? Verse 15 says that he was righteous and blameless from the time of his creation until iniquity was found in him. Yet we know that he was a liar from the beginning.  :dontknow:
