This is legitimately one of the best channels on all of UA-cam.
Definitely
So good, man. A massive blessing to have this man as a brother
True!!
Interesting how the best are never listed in "this kingdom". Also check out Chuck Missler. He went to be with God in 2018 but his work still goes on.
Could not agree more. This is just amazing to see.
One thing I'll never forget from my time in the Marines from 1999-2007 was being in Iraq in 2003. I was a door gunner on a CH-53 when flew over and circled Babylon. Even spent some time at the mesopotamian marshes where the three rivers converge.
I think back to that often, because I grew up leaning about it and then being there in person makes it really special. Obviously, I wish it was under different circumstances.
I was in and around the Baghdad area back in 06 as an Army Grunt. We are some of the bless ones to make it back and have our wits brother. Stay strong 💪🏽.
Thanks for your service
@@debbieroland2807, of course you don't need to thank me, and of course thank you!
I hope you and your family is doing well.
God bless you.
@@debbieroland2807, your name, Debbie, makes me think about my past.
Long story short, I'm the real Little Debbie's son.
Of course, I'll explain why.
I was adopted in 1977, and took an Ancestry DNA test in 2015. My biological father also took one. We didn't know about each other. In fact he didn't know I existed.
He's married to the real Little Debbie. I lived with them in Ooltewah, TN for 6 months in 2016. Near the Collegedale bakery.
Anyway, you can say that you met the real Little Debbie's son online.
Hi!
@scottpageusmc do you remember the dust storm that halted the invasion into Southern Iraq for several days?
I learned around 2007 about the Marsh people who lived in the delta. They had been rebelling against Saddam Hussein. So the Iraqi Army had constructed canals to drain the delta to go after the marsh people. That dust storm occurred because the Delta had been dried up by the Iraqi Army.
I was stationed in Saudi Arabia and we were military trainers to the Saudi army. When I was working at King Khalid Military City (northern Saudi) I could see this ancient riverbed running through. I knew when I saw it, that this was the ancient river Pishon. It’s amazing the these people also agreed it was also.
Praying our Lord keeps you and the family safe during these crazy times. Blessings from Oregon! ♥️
Also from Oregon (Coos)! 🌧️

Blessing brother!
@@SeventhSeal1 love to hear from other believers in the PNW! Keep praying for our lost state and our lost neighbors brother ✝️

During Operation Desert Shield, my unit traveled and camped in many of the places in your video as we moved into Iraq for what would later become the 1st Gulf War. Now, many years later watching this video it brings back many things I had forgotten. Mostly, I'm in wow that I was there and didn't even realize I was traveling and camping in areas of a biblical river that lead to Eden. It's sorta of a surreal moment for me now. Thank you for sharing this video! :)
The day Iraq occupied Kuwait was 2nd July 1990, I was reading a newspaper during the burial of my 14year old sister who died from Sickle cell aneamia, I had just turned 18years old.. When USA attacked Iraq on 2nd January 1991...and the gulf war started, I remember reading about the Missilies for the first time in my life ...
@@githice very 😎🆒 coll
I guess you're blessed by God you were there! How about thinking going to Jerusalem ?
Were you situated in Egypt before entering Iraq? I was in Dahab and Nuweiba along the Red Sea coast that summer and there were American soldiers walking around in these Bedouin villages waiting to head over.
That's wild, thanks for your service Brother.
The Bible holds all the answers, God is awesome! Thank you Lord for your Word and for blessing your servant to bring this exciting information to us!
It's not truthful. Fictitious.
@@Bc232klm Joel is showing evidence that it is truthful. Jesus is a historical person as evidenced by contemporary historians. If you dont want to beleive it by all means, thats your choice. But the evidence is there for those who look with eyes of faith. Like Joel's son said, it's not rocket science.
No he's not.
I think you need a better understanding on the difference between claims and evidence, and how to figure out what's true from what you just believe to be true. Joel was very dishonest in his presentation though, so it's not all your fault alone.
There's also no historical record of jesus. Just stories written decades after he supposedly lived.
You're choosing a fictitious retelling over searching for truth. That's the societal problem with religion. It breaks people's brains and leads them to believe wrong things for bad reasons.
My husband and I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, and now we've watched almost all of your videos!! We will continue watching them until we've seen them all! Thank you for doing all of the hard work and research it takes to make this information available!
This type of ministry is so important because it enables us to visualize the events of The Bible and strengthens our understanding of the text. Seeing the Holy lands also makes us feel closer to God.
We truly and wholeheartedly appreciate your contribution to furthering God's kingdom! We will pray for the safety and well-being of you and your family as you continue your very important work. We will also remain prayerful that your ministry will continue to reach more and more souls for Christ!
We do plan on purchasing at least one copy of your book for ourselves, possibly more for a few of our family members. Having this information on hand will be invaluable! We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate what you do and that you and your family are in our prayers! Much love from your brothers and sisters in Christ! Can't wait for another video!!
Thank-you, watching from Canada 🇨🇦. We had the great privilege of visiting Israel in 2019. Loved it and learned to love Archeology !
Well don't believe to quickly. No one could possibly find the garden of Eden. During the flood the land was plastered with tons and tons of sediment. A tidal wave of mud basically hit the earth making super tall mountains etc. Eden is gone.
This is so important for every believers.Thank you for sharing this video.Praise the Lord!
I love how your son is following in your footsteps. You must be a proud dad. What you bring is so insightful and helps brings the understanding to the bible
Lies. The Pison is the first river that encompasses the whole land of Havilah. Havilah is the son of Cush ( Ethiopia). Pison is in Africa you are in the wrong location, sir.
Genesis 2:11
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

The problem with this assuption is that the time line of the creation is thousands of years ago when the world template was one not several continent, and this Will mean that the whole earth was known as EDEN, includding the Americas europe Asia and the islands was a single template known as Eden, and God planted a garden in the east of the garden
@@emaataemaata8925i feel like atheists would interpret that simply saying but god said he made two people in the garden of eden and not evolution doing its thing. Ill argue that what god meant was that he created man with sin since in stone ages we had small tribal refutes or clashes so we never had that moral mindset until christ came in and changed it
@@emaataemaata8925god never disliked evolution what evolution was in the bible is that we were never perfect to being with even in evolution nothing is perfect because natural law is stated. If it isn't then the natural state of things becomes either perfect or random or becomes incomprehensible or imperfect.
I give you all the respect in the world. Risking your life to discover the Bible’s stories. God bless you and your family and hard work.

I understand you that is extreme feeling that I would have if I was in your situation and not be able to see the ancient sites that is path to our closest relationship with being friends with God as humans hope you go back someday and be able to visit them and enjoy them
I hope someday you can go back and see your again 😊 I will never be able to see that stuff the best I can do with UA-cam you got a better chance because that was your land me if I get across town and have enough gas ⛽ I'm doing well God bless❤
I am Christian of Türkiye (aramaic suryoye) and I inform you that :
The Rapture of the Church will take place in winter 2024 on a very specific day and at an equally specific time without any festive celebrations around so that no one knows the day or the hour.... because usually it's precisely modeled on holidays which is why I found the exact date...
The Holy Convocation was sent to the Church on Tuesday March 5, 2024 corresponding to Heshvan 10 (symbolically Day when GOD clarifies to Noah that it is time to bring the animals into the Ark because in 7 days the DELUGE will therefore begin on 17 Heshvan) for his departure on the evening of Tuesday March 12, 2024 corresponding to Heshvan 17... i.e. after the 120 years of construction of the Ark here 120 days which are the number of days since the start of the Tribulations on the evening of Sunday November 12, 2023.
PS: 120 days is for the dead (Tuesday evening) but it will be 121 days for the living (Wednesday)... read the other comments to better understand!
ALL MY CALCULATIONS AND BIBLE STUDIES ARE IN ADEQUATE WITH THIS PERFECT DATE AND NO OTHER SERIOUS POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR ME... I THINK SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE TERMINUS OF THIS PILGRIMAGE ON EARTH!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
My bible tells me how beautiful that garden of Eden was. Everything was in those rivers, the opals, the gold, and every expansive stones should be found there. Unlucky because god took his original garden away. I want to see that garden again when jesus comes bk. God bless you.
So am I buddy I am an Iraqi Australian and I was in Iraq 4 months ago! I go there at least once a year since 2009 and never stopped travelling to Iraq.
It’s not dangerous, actually it was dangerous during Saddam time. Now Iraq is so amazing compared to before. I encourage you to travel and see for yourself self.
I worked in Saudi Arabia for four years. You do get that strange feeling that you're in a land with a very ancient history when you're there. The Saudi gold is famous especially for us Asians. Also, although the landscape has changed after the flood, we have to bear in mind that Moses wrote Genesis after the flood. And the context clues he gave could be applicable to the post-flood landscape.
I was at a funeral yesterday and I was listening to people talk about the man’s life. They said he grew up Catholic. In 1991 he was on a tour in Israel with an archeologist named Joel Kramer. It was on that tour that pieces started to fit together about Jesus and his questions were resolved. He was then baptized in the Jordan River. I thought that was so cool! Thanks for all you do because you are making a difference for eternity!
That’s an amazing story!!! He is doing great work!!!
If he grew up a Catholic he would have already been baptized?
@@user-ku1kz4gz8qinfant Catholic baptism doesn't "count".
Not believers baptism.
@@valerieadams7001you don’t understand baptism. “Believers baptism” is a new invention. It’s like says for the baby Jew, “believers circumcision”. Think about that
Best channel on UA-cam! Joel, you reignited my passion for following Christ with your videos. Keep sharing the archeological evidence for the Bible! 📖
Question, if the Flood was global how do the rivers still exist, let alone the Garden of Eden?
Bc the rivers are underneath the ocean
@@K.B.Williams That's like asking why ponds and lakes still exist today after an area floods. Or a channel. My sister's area floods almost yearly. She lives on a channel. When the waters subside...guess what? The channel is still there! When the waters subsided during the global flood, the rivers are still there...just like the land mass was still there.
@@knothead35 How do you know the land mass didnt change before, during or after a global flood? Especially since the ground broke open. Also, how long did the floods you were referring to last? Im sure it wasn't 100 days.
Lies. The Pison is the first river that encompasses the whole land of Havilah. Havilah is the son of Cush ( Ethiopia). Pison is in Africa you are in the wrong location, sir.
Genesis 2:11
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Genesis 10:7
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

Bad news, the garden was destroyed in the flood
False
You have answered so many questions for me. If you study Genesis closely, it tells the location of the garden. But the Pishon River was always a mystery to me. Thank you and God bless you 😊🙏
Sure has been alot of Bible discoveries & Bible verses leading to Arab, the wilderness that Moses and his followers cross the red sea into
There is no way Eden could be found after the flood. The earth was completely covered with layers of mud.
Please watch The God Culture Series Solomon's gold series. You will know the location, Click Where is the garden of Eden.
Lol, I don't believe everything I hear.
I feel the planet was changed drastically during the flood making it almost impossible to find such landscapes that existed before the flood.
Scripture and descriptions were written after the flood.
When I was a child, I had no TV, but plenty of Natl Geographic magazines.... I poured over them with such fascination. I wanted to be an archeologist. Never did, but love this stuff!! Thank you. ❤
I have all of theme; Nat Geographic 's magazines. But I like this documentary lessons
I think you're looking in the wrong location pof ,look at the AINCIENT history of America which is the true old world and not the new as we have been though, that was a ploy to hide the true lands of the original GARDEN OF EDEN AMERICA ,do some research on it's rivers you'll be surprised 🤨
Wouldn’t the flood have rerouted all the rivers?

@@AAisthebest760This is laughable. The Bible does not suggest Eden was anywhere remotely near the Philippines. This is just as ridiculous as those American assertions that Eden was in the States. No-one who reads the Bible and reads the descriptions for its location thinks that Eden was in the Philippines or America. Don’t let your national pride get in the way of scriptural truth.
Bible actually does give directions and point it to today’s modern Philippines. Search Solomon gold series by godculture. It’s has been proven for many years.
I love how the Pishon was found and shown to be true. Joel always puts his heart into these productions and it shows. Glad he let his son have some screen time. Good job, Joel. Keep them coming!!
It wasn't found. We still don't know which river it is. Could be many.
Jonathan I think you are right. It would seem that this is the Pishon .
what a hogwash interpretation of Genesis..The 4 Ancient Rivers were buried under the Oceans & seas..Ocean & and seas or Salty waters are the REMAINS of the Noahs Flood...For your info, before the Flood there were no(none) SALTY WAters, only Rivers of Life or Water of Life called Fresh Waters...Jesus callrd the Salty WAters(Ocean & Seas) as Abomination of Desolation or De-Salination...Jesus called the Fresh Water, like in a Well as Water of Life or Rivers of Life.

Absolutely wonderful - I'm so glad I found your channel!
I'm confused. Eden was pre-flood the entire landscape would be massively changed.
I always assumed that after the flood the survivors saw some rivers and gave them the same names as rivers they knew from the old days thinking they were the same.
It's just folklore from the region. There was no such globalized flood. You had/have regional flooding. Like saying Paul Bunyon obviously carved the Grand Canyon because we know the location.
For many years i have wanted to do exactly what you guys have done. I am just so happy you have shown this to the watchers. May God continue to bless you guys.
I am not so sure about this location. If the 4 rivers became one and flowed INTO Eden as opposed to out of Eden, wouldnt Eden become a lake very soon?
Another thing is with the flood happening, the Earth's surface had changed a lot with mountains and seas forming where there was flat lands.
@@cobusbrits2 i am ok with it!
@@cobusbrits2Yes there were changes. BUT GUESS WHAT GOD IS IN CONTROL. LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE FROM 2000 YEARS, AGO. GOD KEPT IN STORE FOR US NOW.
Completely agree with you in that the earth was completely resurfaced during the flood and that the location of the Pishon river can no longer be known. @@cobusbrits2

And the flood would have changed the courses of the rivers,however it still certainly appears to have been around this area.

Thank you!!
It’s probable that the flood drastically changed the surface of the earth and the earths crust. With tectonic plates breaking apart when the fountains of the deep came forth. With all the shifting of land when they landed with the ark it’s possible they just renamed the rivers they saw because they reminded them of the land before the flood so they borrowed the names even though they weren’t the same rivers.
Yes it's also probable that two of the rivers managed to not change that much and the other two disappeared or changed as in the video which are all possibilities as the Bible says water burst out from the deep
@@orpheemulemo8053 The pre-flood earth surface was destroyed (Gen 9:11). What we see today is the remnants of this flood destruction. It is possible he found the Pishon and if he did, the real Pishon could be anywhere from 50' to 500' below the surface where he drove his 4X4. Reality is, this is an exciting adventure to find nothing but a Saudi desert dry Wadi (wash) bed. The Pishon could be 1,000 miles North or South from where Saudi is. How far did Noah's boat float or get pushed by the currents anyway? Those rivers are long gone, buried under tens if not 100's of feet of sediment.
Yeah... Totally agree, the pre-flood world is gone. None of it is like it was. We went from one continent to 7. The rivers we know now were named after the originals. It's really important that believers read the bible carefully and understand the science behind what happened during the flood.
Sensationalism. Feeling over Truth. @@happycamper47
There was not a global flood.
I shared your last video about Nineveh with my pastor. I told him how much I love biblical archaeology and specifically your channel. The next Sunday he surprised me with your book. ❤
I did very much enjoy this documentary,however while watching one detail came to mind. The flood happened long after the description of Eden’s location and changed the earth’s landscape drastically. Nothing is still where it once was as everything was changed by the waters and ground levels changing. And as beautiful as it would be to find Eden I believe the garden was a heavily garden placed here on earth by God to walk and fellowship among his beloved creation and was removed after the fall when man could no longer dwell among God in the same manner. The only issue I see rising from this is comments below questioning if the flood of the Bible even occurred. This is a corner stone of the foundation of our faith and cannot be in question without causing doubt to the faith, Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? God Bless you brother and your ministry I pray you continue in the work God has you doing and may many souls find God and salvation through what you do for the kingdom of heaven Amen.
Awesome sacrifice and awesome findings. God is good!
Brother, I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate and loved all your videos. This must have been awesome to see and experience. Thanks again for sharing with us. God bless you and looking forward to new videos and definitely want the book....Praise Our God and King Jesus Christ 🙌♥️🙏💯
I was given your AMAZING BOOK as a gift then sent one to a friend as a gift. We LOVE seeing all the beautiful photos with detailed descriptions as everything is so encouraging! And the Gospel at the end to conclude. Thank you.
It’s already proven for many years by godculture Solomon gold series on UA-cam that Ophir/Apar and garden of Eden/Adan is today’s modern Philippines . Anything other than that it’s all what today’s modern Pharisees and academia wants people to believe in. Period .
@@AAisthebest760 Its a theory from godculture. Calling someone else a possible "pharisee" because they have a different theory is ridiculous because archeology has nothing to do with the gospel. You just sound like a judaizer and a fruitloop.
there is NO paradise without the presence of GOD. and Thank God for this wonderful channel
I loved this video. Thank you for all the research and traveling you all did.
You do understand that with your proposal you are looking at the flow of the rivers backwards. It states that one river splits into 4 rivers, but in your proposal you have it as 4 rivers converging into one river.
The whole thing in that book about they describe the 4 rivers flowing into one from down river is just trying to fit puzzle pieces into places they don't belong.
And even if you want to believe it is that way then Eden would be the Persian Gulf. Or at least sunken and would be part of the Persian Gulf floor.
Bringing the early Bible to life exites me as much as the prophetic end time events. It all fits together perfectly, giving us a complete picture of the love of God. I'm very thankful for these videos each time I see a new one, I can't wait to watch it over and over!
Lol

Laugh all you want. God is good. ❤
There is no way this is eden. I love the Lord and the Bible. The ancient world wide flood would have completely erased all evidence of Eden. The mountains rose and valleys sank. They floated for 150 days before the ark settled, no way they ended up in the same area. When they exited the ark over a year later they were in a completely different area on a completely different topography.
@@johnquigley1366
Personally, I do believe in the "young earth theory" because it fits with the way Noah's flood would have to have happened. YOU are correct in assuming Noah would have been very far from where he began... BUT for God. It's very possible God put Noah exactly where he wanted him. AND it was close to the start of his journey.
Joel you are dedicated to the Lord’s work and teaching. Thank you so much.

TGC unfortunately seems confused via confirmation bias even adding to the scriptures. I’ve never observed Joel doing such things and he often leverages his media to spread the message of salvation.

Thankyou very much 🙏🏻- you do great work 🇦🇺 helping to strengthen our faith and make the connection between ancient times and present times, reminding us of how close we are to god and Gods word still.. it is appreciated - Thankyou 🙏🏻🇦🇺
Went back to re-read Genesis with my kids two weeks ago. Had exactly this question. Can’t wait to show them the real places. Thank you for making these videos!
Then read Genesis 7, 17-24. Imagine the masses of water that destroyed Eden and changed the whole surface of the world. No riverbed would be the same afterwards.
@@herr.schmidtthat’s a very good point
@@herr.schmidt this has been my main concern whenever I hear others theories about a geographical location. For all we really know those rivers are now mountains. Or perhaps Eden is on the opposite of the world.
Not only that, but the stream flowing out of Eden branched out to make four rivers. This channel is saying the opposite of what it says in Genesis 2:10.
@@herr.schmidtIf the underwater springs remained, then the rivers could have survived. If the riverbed was really 1.7 miles wide... That probably still remained in some capacity post flood, and the water would follow the path of least resistance. River routes would change, but they would still exist in the same general area.
I’m happy you are serving God in this expedition type of way. You are helping thousands of people understand history better than any class in high school or elementary school. This is a section desperately needed in schools but of course the world isn’t ready for the truth.
It’s not taught in any school because it is a fairy tale.
All made up.
There was no garden of Eden.
The idea is preposterous and just plain silly… as is the story of Noaha’s Ark and a world wide flood .
Pure fantasy.
But enjoy the delusion.
True😊
Greatins to your son, he's a Young Indiana. 3 of you are very brave to travel that far, it is amaizing.
One love both of you.
You are making such a great job.
And god bless u.
Just found this great channel! I'm so fascinated with the Bible and everything that happened historically that's why I immediately subscribed in a flash.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I'm so happy. I loved that in the end you gave the Gospel. The history is AWESOME, the Gospel is life giving. Thank you.
As a Christian, Chaldean, and Iraqi, I find these videos fascinating!
Is Chaldea mentioned in the bible?
@@markwarne5049 Many times:
God told Abraham in Genesis 15:7, “I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”
Many Bible traditions were carried on from ancient Iraq, and passed to the Hebrews. Traditions that Abraham understood their spiritual value and God honored.

Waiting on pins and needles for that next video Brother!! Praying God’s protection over you and your son as you produce this worshipful content ✝️
I started to watch many of your other videos and came to a conclusion that your works aren’t self righteous but rather through them you honor and glorify God! I am sure the Father Almighty sees your faithfulness and He is pleased!
The Worldwide flood wiped out all evidence of preflood sights. The names were assigned from tradition and were not the original rivers. This guy embarrasses me.
@@easandov He is giving more glory to God than you. I strongly recommend that you speak with love. His heart is in the right place. And he may be honestly mistaken. He is certainly NO embarrassment. There has been a global flood but you give Dr Joel Kramer respect for the glory he gives to God.
@@BhikPersonalthank you for putting things in perspective. I couldn’t have said it any better and more effectively and kindly. Anyone who puts down people who honor and glorify God, I don’t bother because those are the voices of the Satan!

Wholeheartedly agree.
As a Christ believer and follower, I love to ponder what it was like on Earth in biblical times. Your research and subsequent video help me “see” what it was like. Thanks so much!
Then it make sense that Adam was the first man in God's image .. but not the first man on earth as they were other people already existing .. like my mother side we khoikhoi natives of southern Africa.. but one question who write genesis then ? WHT language was it written ???
@@frankkhethanidubedube919 it was passed on through verbal tradition.

Hey everyone I’m trying to promote my Christian book for kids as much as possible. Adventures With Cali and Odin. It’s about my two kids and simply a good genuine Christian book
@@fredrocket9 sounds like a good way to groom kids.
Everyone should realize that when the flood came, and the waters rose up, and the rain came, Noah lived in a different world than the one in which he set foot AFTER the flood waters had subsided. Noah names the rivers using names he was familiar with BEFORE the flood, but there is no reason to think that they are the same rivers that flowed from the Garden. Further, the rivers in Gen 1 are said to flow OUT of the Garden, meaning that they begin in approximately the same place, but the Tigris and Euphrates don't start near each other, unless the Garden was a few hundred thousand acres in size. Also, how much else has changed? The continents have shifted from one large land mass to several, and the great mountain ranges have risen up - tectonically lifted - to heights far above the rest of the land. We win hearts with TRUTH and love, not a fight to be right. Speak Truth and win.
🤔
That is something to consider
I was just studying this to explain to my sister in Christ Jesus❤I am in agreement with you, because all the rivers came OUT of Edan. One of God’s mysteries here on earth. God has hidden the garden. It will emerge when God is ready for it to. It is like the Ark of the Covenant. Now this is just my opinion. I believe God has the Ark of the covenant in Heaven with Him. Just like we have no idea where Moses body is buried, because God buried his body. There is so much in God’s Holy Word!!! As you grow closer to Him the more He reveals to you through the Holy Spirit. I can read one verse and get something different out of it every single time. I always ask for discernment of spirits. For the Lord to send His Holy Spirit and ministering angels for understanding before I open the Bible to read it.
Yes you’re exactly right. The fountains of the deep burst forth as well. This was a global flood that when over the highest mountains as it is written. This amount of water coming forth from below plus the windows of heaven opened up and raining for 40 days there is no way that the original rivers are the current rivers.
If the Graden of Eden still exists after all that water plus the removing of all that water (massive erosion) it would have cheribum with flaming swords blocking the entrance unless this was undone with Christ.
The world prior to the flood and the world after the flood are not the same. They simply can’t be. Water in movement is destructive and would have moved massive amounts of land around as it came forth and as it receded. It took a year for them to get off the boat.
Saying it "flows" does not mean the sources of the rivers were from there. "Flowing from" could also mean they intersect and separate out of Eden.
Very interesting and informative. Good research and good expedition.
Thank you and your son and everyone else involved.
Once again, I was glued to the screen. Thank you Joel, well done. Your son did a great job too, well done Barry. I'm grateful that the Lord took very good care of the 3 of you. I can't tell you how important your work is to church body world wide. Not everyone can experience the adventure that the Lord is leading you on and so again, I say thank you for being a faithful servant.. God bless!
God bless you for taking us on this journey and helping to not only confirm biblical history but also helping us to visualize scripture! This is incredibly fascinating.
It’s already proven for many years by godculture Solomon gold series on UA-cam that Ophir/Apar and garden of Eden/Adan is today’s modern Philippines . Anything other than that it’s all what today’s modern Pharisees and academia wants people to believe in. Period .
@AAisthebest760 please explain. I really would like to know, as the Philippines would make sense because it is so beautiful, however, going by the description in the bible, the Philippines is no where near the other two rivers. Even looking at Pangea, before the flood, it is as far as one can get on the eastern coast. Answer and Explanation: When Pangaea was fully formed, the islands and early precursors of what is now the Philippines were in the Northern Hemisphere. They were on the northeast corner of the western-most peninsula of Pangaea, between Vietnam to the west and Indonesia to the south. Again. I'm not trying to be rude but am very interested to know. 😊
Wow...what an amazing endeavour...
Absolutely Fascinating Journey, Expedition Bible! 👍Incidentally, Farouk El-Baz, not only made the fascinating discovery of this river, but was in fact NASA's Lead Geologist for the Apollo Program back at the end of the 1960, beginning of the 1970s - for those interested in both Geology & Space Exploration.
As an Assyrian, this documentation and corelation to biblical history is really pleasing to watch! Great job! 👏👏

These Rivers existed prior to the flood, which would have dramatically changed the whole geology and landscape of the earth. There is no guarantee that Rivers today with similar names, such as the Euphrates, are the same rivers, but rather they are more likely to be different Rivers that were given similar names to the previous Rivers by Noah’s descendants after the Flood.
Also one river flowed out of Eden and split into 4 Rivers not the other way around, see Gen 2:10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads.
I agree, the world was completely changed from the flood.
agree, the flood changed the entire topography of the entire planet.
Thanks you.. i think i was the only thinking this... Egypt and kush didn't move because There're permanent.. the rivers before the flood could of been in a different location and god also hide eden so who human can find it!!?!!
The earth described in Genesis is a differently shaped earth. It retained that shape even after the flood, until after this point:
Rev 20:9
And they went up on the *_breadth_* of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them
@@MickWall-ck6uk Hi, forgive me, I'm not sure I understand what you are describing or your point even, do you mean the Earth as in the planet Earth or the land mass on Earth? And what shape? And how is that scripture relevant? Regardless, the global flood of Noah completely destroyed and resurfaced the planet so any evidence of Eden or the rivers mentioned in Genesis were buried/swept away about 4500(ish) years ago. It is likely that the land mass before the flood, Pangea, suffered rapid continental drift during and after the catastrophic flood creating the continents we see now. When Noah and his family emerged from the Ark into a new world they would have named rivers and cities with names they already knew.
Excellent , thank you .
My own father worked for many years , over two decades , in Abu Dhabi , Qatar and then Dubai as a Civil Engineer . Amongst his skill set he could find water and rock sources , useful for building roads , docks and runways . He wondered what would happen when the oil reserves depleted and knew there were massive areas of desert which actually had sub surface water and soils good enough to grow desert hardy plants such as Castor oil . When trying to develop a home vegetable garden , a hobby he had taken up , in his out of town Dubai garden he found decent soil hidden under the desert sand . he was able to grow q lot of vegetables provided he was thoughtful about water use . His firm even built a special green house in his garden with hydroponic systems to experiment with castor oil plants . My point really though is that the Gulf , Persian Arabian whatever , might have been , probably was , a much greener place in the past , much more wide spread than the river delta at the closed end . Water and land both can raise and lower over time for various reasons ; I think the Gulf is sea water flooded at present .
PS The islands of Bahrain are worth a look as possibly being part of the garden of Eden ..... Bahrain has sweet water springs all over it's islands ..... In Qatar , in 1972 , I was taken to a large farm growing mainly tomatoes . The area consisted of a limestone low lying plateau . The farm was in a naturally formed depression , formed I think by collapsed cave systems , which had water not far below the surface . There were two places my father took me , in much the same area , where caves had collapsed leaving entry points ; we could hear running water but did not enter the caves fearing dangerous animals like very large lizards , seen on roads at night and or wild dogs , never mind the spiders . Lol
Love your work .
Or the poisonous snakes in caves.
Thank you so much for sharing.
? this is making me ask why they are not consideing the timeline of biblical history? was not the whole surface of the earth restructured after the flood? Im wondering why looking for Eden, that is no longer there?Gen 7:11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.Gen 7:12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights....... those 4 rivers are no longer there, these are the once named in history post Noaic flood.
@@gaylejideofor6198 exactly that’s what I thought Immediately.
@@gaylejideofor6198 I was thinking about this too to be honest. The Flood- there was catastrophic activity and land shifting.... so yeah couldn't help but wonder about this too
The head anthropologist in Rihyad showed me cave art of fish and human feet from a cave in the middle of the desert. It is on display at the museum. He seemed very intrigued by the art and said there are no natural rivers in Saudi Arabia.

THIS IS FASCINATING! I’m an American Believer and after reading Gen about the rivers I began looking on maps and google earth. I also follow Iranian Nomads who are many moving from the mountains closer to the cities. I also follow families across the world who live off the land….BUT THIS ONE FAMILY FROM AN ANCIENT TRIBE…..take you on walking exploring tips up the water fed creveces of those treacherous mountains almost reaching the heads. They mention tribes who came from those areas…it is SO BEAUTIFUL…I TOLD MY HUSBAND IT LOOKS LIKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN! They also eat from the trees and gather resin from some in the drier areas…but there are fruits, nuts, berries, wild herbs etc. It is I believe close to that area you are researching but over the border to Iranian mountains! I never saw so much fast flowing water! Trees also look like the ancient type of cedars…shorter and spread out more like oaks….it is incredibly beautiful….in that desolate land of Iran. I wish I knew what town they are near. I watch mostly how they build and eat and survive but often they take these video trips climbing the watered crevice almost to the top, then find a place to build a fire, have their tea and cook over the fire…rest then clean the area and go back down climbing on edges far above the ground below….it looks like a garden of Eden! You can follow them on UA-cam called “Daral - Iranian lifestyle” it’s mostly 2-3 sons, a Mother and Father. I hope you get to see the latest walking trip which was on 1-28-2024 I believe. God Bless your efforts! I always wanted to be an Archeologist but at 77 yrs old I’ll just explore online!🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 looking at their climbing will show you what God may have created near the Garden of Eden….also its somewhere you can’t go to…so enjoy!
