Long-lost rivers of the Bible found in satellite images point to the Garden of Eden

  • Satellite Discoveries: Recent orbital scans reveal Wadi al-Batin in Saudi Arabia as a potential riverbed for the biblical Pishon, aligning with Genesis descriptions of Eden's rivers.
  • River Correlations: The Karun River in Iran may correspond to the biblical Gihon, while Tigris and Euphrates remain well-known, suggesting a fertile cradle of civilization near the Persian Gulf.
  • Alternative Theories: Some scholars propose Eden in Africa, near Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, linking the Blue Nile to Gihon and early human evolution in the Rift Valley, blending biblical and Quranic narratives.
