Genesis 4:10-14
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one, which flows around the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is Tigris, which flows East of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Theologists and Cartographers have long debated the location of the fabled Garden of Eden. Both the Tigris and the Euphrates are well documented and emptied into the Persian Gulf. Gihon and Pishon are up for discussion. Many believe that Gihon is the Nile.
However, this seems to make the location of Eden impossible to locate.
I have a theory, as we all know, the Bible is much different from its original form, much has been changed and completely removed. My theory is that perhaps the four rivers did not emanate from Eden, but maybe they emptied into it. Remember, Eden existed at the beginning of time, and the continents have long since seperated. Maybe Eden's original location has been reclaimed by the sea. The four rivers (depending on whatever Pishon was) may have sent it under water. Much of the world has been explored, and it seems unlikely that the Middle East could hide something as significant as Eden for as long as it has. At the same time, the ocean is not nearly as explored as land or even other planets. It would be relatively easy to hide Eden under the waters of the mediteranean or the waters around the Middle East.
Thoughts?
