Moshe said (Korach, BaMidbar 16:30), “If HaShem creates a new creation,” meaning, If Gehinom already exists, that will serve; if not HaShem will create it.” That can’t be! Moshe could not have been unsure whether Gehinom already existed, for we learn, “Seven things were created before the earth: 1) Torah, 2) T’shuva, 3) Gan Ayden, 4) Gehinom, 5) the Kisay haKovod, 6) the Bat haMikdosh, 7) the name of the Moshiach.” Moshe meant, then, “If Gehinom already has an opening on the surface of the earth, that will serve; if not, HaShem will create one.” That, too can’t be! Scripture (Kohelles 1:9) tells us, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Rather, Moshe announced, “If an opening to Gehinom is already located here, that will serve; if not, HaShem will bring one to this spot.”

When Adom haRishon was expelled from Gan Ayden he settled at Mt. Moria (the site of the Bat haMakdosh) because the gates of Gan Ayden are adjacent to Mt Moria.
The Sages (Ta’anis 10A) relates the size: Mitzraim is four hundred parsot (parsa is about 2.7 miles) by four hundred parsot. Mitzraim is one-sixtieth the size of Cush. Cush is one-sixtieth the size of the world. The world is one-sixtieth of the Garden. The Garden is one-sixtieth the size of Ayden.
