Warning: Eden

Genesis 3:24 - After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

I wonder if anyone dared to approach the cherubim (angels) and the sword in the generations to come. Was it lost to memory or was it a tourist attraction or was it known but strictly verboten? Did people visit the area just to say they saw one of the wonders of the known world or did they shy away, afraid of the unknown? Did the cherubim or sword ever have to physically turn someone away?
