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 awe that I was there and didn't even realize I was traveling and camping in areas of a biblical river that led 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 ...
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.
I started reading Genesis this week and was wondering about EXACTLY this! I LOVE how the Holy Spirit works to educate us. Thank you for teaching TRUTH.
he must be mad - if he really finds it, then the tree of eternal life is on the east side of the garden, with a cherubim and a flaming sword swaying left right! find that dum dum
We are doing this in Bible Study too and I always wondered about the rivers and the gold etc, if it was real. I am going to show this next week.I recommend Bruce Gore's lectures. He talks about the historical times of the Bible period. I found it very educational.
i started rereading the bible to study it and understand it. I am in Genesis as I just started and I am reading about the rivers as I suddenly found this video. I truly enjoyed it and it helped me understand my reading adventure. Thank you!
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; 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.
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.
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!!
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.
I remember when this channel had about 5k subscribers. Now nearly 500k. Every video has stirred my heart and made me ponder on the power of God and the wisdom of God. Truly God is wonderful in all his works and his power is awesome
I love that you bring the Bible to life for us! I could watch your videos all day. You put a lot into them with all the traveling you do. Thank you for all your hard work. God bless.

Things get renamed some times just to create confusion. Ef Mustard Tree ( no its Annual herbal plant ) the town "Cryer for time of day " being called a " roodter" rather than believing it was actually a true male chicken "rooster" Satan likes causing confusion. Trying to discredit the Bible '- flat earth theory etc
@@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.
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.
I am so grateful for the content that you produce!! My church is currently going through Genesis, and it has been so amazing to see God's word come to life! Just another reason to worship!
I met a married couple who were both archaeologists in Israel. They said it was amazing how many artifacts are all around the country. So much evidence to support the Bible. Then I found city of David on UA-cam. Amazing that the pool of Siloam was found and the pilgrimage road that Jews and ultimately Jesus walked, all supported by the Bible.
I would say this is probably the most emotionally moving video of yours yet. Something about seeing the possibly closest we'd get to the original Eden, thinking on the fall, and the blessed coming of the Lord Jesus on His first arrival and looking to His second...so powerful. Thank you so much! God bless 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 .
Im Iraqi Christian (chaldean) lived my twenties in Iraqi, and because of war, i never had a chance to see the marshes or any other ancient sites! Im Australian citizen now, and i hope i can go back to see my country again . God bless you, sir ,and thank you for sharing this informative article.
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 used to be a practicing Wiccan. I was such a fool. The Bible shows facts and truth. Jesus Christ us my lord and savior. Seeing these ancient places described in the Bible is inspiring.
@@garypriestleypray for them to be under delusion no longer. ask the Lord to break the yoke of bondage over them. Jesus gave us all the authority to heal, pray protection, cast off curses in the spirit, etc. it is ours in Christ. we are complete in Him. i take the authority you have given me, and i command this burden be removed in the powerful name of Jesus. if you don’t feel it’s left, keep praying against it until it does. you don’t have to get loud or aggressive. just be firm and command it to leave. and stand strong in the Lord.
When God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden he put to flaming cherubs at the entrance to block anyone from going in. He also hid the garden and the river Gishon so no man could ever return to the Garden of Eden. Remember also 6:30 😊the layout was different at that time.
Praise Yahweh! You are so blessed to have your son following in your footsteps! It made me cry to see his confidence and hear the similar cadence in his voice. And, beautiful too, to have your close friend on the expeditions. Your book is beautiful. I love the drone photo panoramas and the way you do your call out arrows with explanations. Safe travels to you all always.
@@beverleystone1102 Jesus is YAHWEH. Jesus is God, born to Mary. He came to Sacrifice Himself for our sins. Jesus is fully God and fully man. He is the 2nd in the Trinity. 3 persons, one God. Jesus is in the Old Testament too, anytime God appeared person to person in the Old Testament, was in the 2nd person of the Trinity because God the Father is spirit. How else do you think we were made in His image?

Go see “The God Culture”! There’s a bunch of videos and proofs where the Garden of Eden is. I’ll tell you it’s not in Saudi Arabia or Iraq. You are looking in the wrong places!
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!
I never get tired of watching your videos. You have a way of making the Words of the Lord from the Bible come to life while showing these Biblical places.

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.

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 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 🤨
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!!
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.

@@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.

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.
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.

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!
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.
So proud of you for quite literally bringing your son to the word that has to be an amazing feeling. It’s a father’s responsibility to bring his family to god and it seems you’ve spared nothing to do so. Not to mention the countless people who watch your content. Keep doing what you do god bless ❤️
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.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.
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 ???
We know what it was like in biblical times, and it's nothing like what this charlatan says. This wolf in sheep's clothing is preying on your hunger for truth and gullibility.

Reasons this is now one of my favourite Expedition Bible videos: 1. The stunning drone footage 💯 2. Seeing Joel so excited to be back on home soil 💛 3. Seeing Joel's mini me following in his footsteps 🙏 4. Daydreaming about what the world looked like at the beginning 🤔
Actually The world has been through a massive Flood so It looks nothing like it did During the time of Eden but at least He found the 4th river and pretty good estimate of Edens location. I've researched a lot about this but this has been the best video to date for accuracy in my book !
@@LukeOBrien-yj9wcthat's not what scripture says. The scriptures say the Messiah is the son of God and the angel of God. It also says he is begotten, which means brought forth, or created.

The end result will not change. The Father is God, and He is one. The son is the Messiah, and he is an angel.

Amazing! This is one of my favorite videos to date. I spent 6 months on the banks of the Euphrates just North of the marsh lands. I thought about the garden of Eden daily. Everyone needs to buy your book! It's incredible!
I have an old KJV Bible from 1892 that shows the Pison River and Havilah at the tip of the Black Sea ( formerly Euxine Sea) in Turkey (formerly known as Asia Minor), the river meets the Euphrates that, the Gihon and the Tigris. West of Mount Ararat, directly west of.
I finally found a good scientific channel that explains the bible and its ties to history. I know it likely sounds strange, but my brain cant process abstract ideas in the frame of stories from a book. But you start to throw science and historical data and I can lock it down no problem. These videos have given me a deeper grasp on the biblical history and deepened my faith. Thank you.
Ooh you will love "animated bible series" then... whether you're brand new or read the Bible 100s of times its still as entertaining and eye opening... it's on UA-cam try it out I promise you'll love it
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 .
? 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 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

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!
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, as usual, you hit it out of the park. Gaining a better sense of where Eden was makes the Bible accounts seem that much more real and also increases my yearning to know Him on a deeper level. Your storytelling method makes us feel like we're making these discoveries alongside you. I love a glimpse behind the scenes to better learn more about your personal history, get to know your son and meet your friend. Thank you so much for putting these videos together! ❤
@@jchendrix Let me help you. The Earth changed drastically during and after the flood. There was one supercontinent as all the seas were gathered into one place according to the Bible. The names of these rivers happened after the flood by the survivors. He's wasting his time. And his channel is fantastic, but this is a waste of time.
Joel - you are an absolute credit to your Maker! Thanks SO MUCH for your diligent research and application of God's Word to archaeology. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your work and the fruits of it. May the Lord God - BLESS and keep you and your family! Steve
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.

@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. 😊
This UA-cam channel is amazing! I have learned so much. Please don’t stop producing videos. Your work is Kingdom work and God is honored by it. I absolutely love how you bring it back to the Gospel. All Glory to God!
As an African, I I asked an Iraqi friend what it felt like seeing River Euphrates and Tigris. To her, it did not mean much seeing it every day. They were like anybody of water, and I marvel that these are the closest places today one can be to the biblical garden of Eden. Different perspectives for different people. I guess what matters most is knowing Christ as one's Lord and having your name written in the book of life.
The original name for Africa is Alkebulan,this continent is the garden of Eden.where did humans migrate from to other parts of the earth? Botswana Africa
@@ArazStudio-op4cg Humans migrated from Africa this is proven ,look up The original name for Africa which is Alkebulan and tell me what it's definition is since you research so much! You've been decieved !

Seeing those enormous ancient riverbeds just makes you wonder how amazing our God is. Truly enjoyed your journey in this video. The river Pishon had to be this. Thank you for your work. God bless!
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.
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.
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!
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.
So cool. You know, the water tables have changed SOOO much in just several hundred years. So many rivers have dried that once were flourishing. Fantastic video.
This is groundbreaking work, Joel. Many thanks. When I was working on my PhD, Dr. Phyllis Bird, a renown scholar whom I respect, told me that there existed only 2 out of the four rivers in question. That is what she was taught, but now I see that this idea is mistaken. Your video is very clear and convincing. Many OT commentaries have to be rewritten. May God continue to use and bless you. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your channel. Eye opening work for many who doubt God’s word.
Only 2 of the known named rivers are known. The other is conjecture and has a different name. It might be correctly the 3rd river, or that could be another river like the Pishon, waiting to be found. But his conjecture makes sense.
I am an expatriate working in Saudi Arabia and all i can say is this was a heroic trip, cruising the Arabian desert is like canoeing the Pacific Ocean, and all thru out your journey i can say GOD was with you! God Bless you sir! may you continue to make videos like this and bring glory to God!

@@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.
I was stationed in Iraq three times and lived in several different places- Balad, Al Taqqadum, Al Asad and Baghdad. Traveled a good amount of the country. It's nice to see it shaping back up and not in a total war torn state. Great videos!
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.
Fascinating! I love studying the pre-flood accounts in Genesis. Great Biblical Archeology channel with loads of important Bible-based and faith-building information.
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.
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 awe that I was there and didn't even realize I was traveling and camping in areas of a biblical river that led 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..

@@MrsTM17 How wonderful for you! I have experienced that as well throughout my life. Such a blessing! 💖

We are doing this in Bible Study too and I always wondered about the rivers and the gold etc, if it was real. I am going to show this next week.I recommend Bruce Gore's lectures. He talks about the historical times of the Bible period. I found it very educational.
i think the area has changed allot after Noahs Flood, and the Contenental Drift both after the time of Eden
i started rereading the bible to study it and understand it. I am in Genesis as I just started and I am reading about the rivers as I suddenly found this video. I truly enjoyed it and it helped me understand my reading adventure. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.
I am so grateful for the content that you produce!! My church is currently going through Genesis, and it has been so amazing to see God's word come to life! Just another reason to worship!
I met a married couple who were both archaeologists in Israel. They said it was amazing how many artifacts are all around the country. So much evidence to support the Bible. Then I found city of David on UA-cam. Amazing that the pool of Siloam was found and the pilgrimage road that Jews and ultimately Jesus walked, all supported by the Bible.
I would say this is probably the most emotionally moving video of yours yet. Something about seeing the possibly closest we'd get to the original Eden, thinking on the fall, and the blessed coming of the Lord Jesus on His first arrival and looking to His second...so powerful.

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

Bad news, the garden was destroyed in the flood
False
Wow than you for sharing us these biblical analysis & exploring the real ancient places, great videos & well explained connections. Hope you are all safe always when travelling to Saudi Arabia. God bless y'all always Watching from 🇵🇭
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.
Thank you for your service! ❤
Wow what a blessing to be where eden was oh how thrilling
Oh God us so good and true.❤
he must be mad - if he really finds it, then the tree of eternal life is on the east side of the garden, with a cherubim and a flaming sword swaying left right! find that dum dum
Do they typically find gold there?
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?
Hi5 ❤
It certainly changed some things, but apparently not everything. @@merr44
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.

@@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.

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.
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 ???

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.”

May God protect You on your journeys Sir !❤
Reasons this is now one of my favourite Expedition Bible videos:
1. The stunning drone footage 💯
2. Seeing Joel so excited to be back on home soil 💛
3. Seeing Joel's mini me following in his footsteps 🙏
4. Daydreaming about what the world looked like at the beginning 🤔
Actually The world has been through a massive Flood so It looks nothing like it did During the time of Eden but at least He found the 4th river and pretty good estimate of Edens location. I've researched a lot about this but this has been the best video to date for accuracy in my book !
Fascinating expedition Joel! Thank you and God bless you..

Jesus is a false, pagan god. The Messiah's name is Yashua. He came in his Father's name, Yah. That's in Psalm 68:4.
Na bro. Jesus is God
@@LukeOBrien-yj9wcthat's not what scripture says. The scriptures say the Messiah is the son of God and the angel of God. It also says he is begotten, which means brought forth, or created. It also says no man has ever seen God, but people saw the Messiah. It also says God can't he tempted or die. But the Messiah was both tempted, and he died. I could go on and on. The end result will not change. The Father is God, and He is one. The son is the Messiah, and he is an angel.
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.
Amazing! This is one of my favorite videos to date. I spent 6 months on the banks of the Euphrates just North of the marsh lands. I thought about the garden of Eden daily. Everyone needs to buy your book! It's incredible!
I have an old KJV Bible from 1892 that shows the Pison River and Havilah at the tip of the Black Sea ( formerly Euxine Sea) in Turkey (formerly known as Asia Minor), the river meets the Euphrates that, the Gihon and the Tigris. West of Mount Ararat, directly west of.
I finally found a good scientific channel that explains the bible and its ties to history. I know it likely sounds strange, but my brain cant process abstract ideas in the frame of stories from a book. But you start to throw science and historical data and I can lock it down no problem. These videos have given me a deeper grasp on the biblical history and deepened my faith. Thank you.
Ooh you will love "animated bible series" then... whether you're brand new or read the Bible 100s of times its still as entertaining and eye opening... it's on UA-cam try it out I promise you'll love it
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.

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.

@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. 😊

As an African, I I asked an Iraqi friend what it felt like seeing River Euphrates and Tigris. To her, it did not mean much seeing it every day. They were like anybody of water, and I marvel that these are the closest places today one can be to the biblical garden of Eden. Different perspectives for different people.

Such brilliant work. I can’t thank you enough. Always share your videos with children and grandchildren. Visually stunning and educationally rich!
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.
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!
Thank you
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.

Thankyou this is awesome findings. God will continue to grant you wisdom...
Got a copy of your book, absolutely love it. What an incredible journey, 4 wheeling across Arabia with your son and friend.
So cool. You know, the water tables have changed SOOO much in just several hundred years. So many rivers have dried that once were flourishing. Fantastic video.
This is groundbreaking work, Joel. Many thanks. When I was working on my PhD, Dr. Phyllis Bird, a renown scholar whom I respect, told me that there existed only 2 out of the four rivers in question. That is what she was taught, but now I see that this idea is mistaken. Your video is very clear and convincing. Many OT commentaries have to be rewritten. May God continue to use and bless you. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed to your channel. Eye opening work for many who doubt God’s word.
Only 2 of the known named rivers are known. The other is conjecture and has a different name. It might be correctly the 3rd river, or that could be another river like the Pishon, waiting to be found. But his conjecture makes sense.
I am an expatriate working in Saudi Arabia and all i can say is this was a heroic trip, cruising the Arabian desert is like canoeing the Pacific Ocean, and all thru out your journey i can say GOD was with you! God Bless you sir! may you continue to make videos like this and bring glory to God!
So great that you have your son with you on this journey. There's so much more than just archeology on display in your videos.
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 .
30 minutes with you is worth more then 10,000 hours with most. I am very thankful for your ministry. I greatly benefit from you in the Lord. May the Lord repay you all 10,000 times.
Joel, this was once again a riveting presentation. I never watch other podcasters all the way through because I lose interest, but not with yours. You are teaching us about our heritage in God. What you share is so rich and I am grateful to hear what you have to say. It makes me happy to see your son and the way he is going, and the adventures that y'all have together.

So well presented - Thanks so much for taking us in the bible with real images.
Thank you for addressing questions many of us have wondered about for years. And for going there in person! Your maps, arrows, and visual aids make everything you're communicating crystal clear and easy to picture. I stumbled upon your UA-cam channel several weeks ago and have already watched every one. I'm going to re-watch them and probably buy your book. Also loved your 'Jesus, The Soul Shepherd' movie. Thanks for your pastor's heart--connecting everything to God and to His beautiful gospel.

@@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.
I was stationed in Iraq three times and lived in several different places- Balad, Al Taqqadum, Al Asad and Baghdad. Traveled a good amount of the country. It's nice to see it shaping back up and not in a total war torn state. Great videos!
@@landjayc You folks did a great service for all- 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.
Fascinating! I love studying the pre-flood accounts in Genesis. Great Biblical Archeology channel with loads of important Bible-based and faith-building information.
Its so amazing how God works through you...God bless you❤
