Transcript
Yesterday we learned that many people believe the garden of Eden was in the Middle East because the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are mentioned as flowing from Eden. But today’s Tigris and Euphrates don’t match the description of the rivers of Eden. So why do they have the same names?
Well, Noah’s flood completely reworked the surface of the earth leaving Noah and his family with a totally different world after the flood. But they probably reused names from the old world as they named things in the new world—just like people did when they left England and came to America.
So, ultimately, where was the Garden of Eden? Well, we just do not know!
