I must admit that the Gobekly Tepe theory seems to "have more going for it" - Thanks for the find; why I never saw your post is because, as usual, I was in a hurry and missed your post!

Obviously a place where Apple trees and Pythons coexist. I can't think of any.
The fruit was never identified as an apple in the Bible. That's just how it is traditionally depicted. If we wanted to get technical, it was probably a fig (if it was an actual fruit in an actual garden at all, and not just a metaphor.)

There's an interesting video called 'Lost History-Finding Atlantis' on youtube that makes a good attempt at resolving the mystery of Atlantis and The Garden of Eden in 8 minutes.

My thought is that the apple signifies the fruits of agriculture - which started mankind on the road to civilization, but left behind the simpler hunter-gathering lifestyle.
