The Shemites (Semites) settled in Mesopotamia also. So there is a connection between Adam, Noah, Shem, and Abraham (in Mesopotamia).

Mizraim = Egypt. So that is incorrect. But Ashur = Assyria and the Tigris is on the east side of Assyria (now Iraq).
IMHO you are speaking out of the silence of the scriptures.
As to where the Garden of Eden was, it should be remember that its location is not needed to be known as it plays no further part in the story of mankind and his salvation other than it gives a time and a place where the fall of man occurred.
It is possible that the Garden of Eden is to the west of what we now call the Land of Canaan where Abraham's descendants returned to in their own strength.

El-o-hym = Pishon
Nimrod = Phrates
Kush = Gihon
Mizraim = Hiddekel
I will update the image later
