Where was Eden?

But what do the drone cameras show that makes the Persian Gulf any more likely than some other place for the location of Eden?
This has to do with the four rivers that we read about in Gen 2:10. Moses is pretty accurate about the location of Eden. He even talks about Gold mines that are still there after all these thousands of years. Genesis 2:10–12 Moses was an Egyptian. They had a lot of Gold in Egypt at the time.

In that case we have come full circle to what I wrote in this thread on June 19th: "I don't think we can be too accurate in locating Eden, because the worldwide flood would have completely changed the geography of the world." That would have included the location of rivers.

I don't know where it was - the bible tells us a bout the 4 rivers, but the Flood could have changed their location tremendously.
Two of the rivers are dry so we can see where they were. There are videos about this on YouTube. People that actually go to all of these places that we read about in our Bible. Bruce Feiler wrote a book and did a PBS program about "Walking the Bible". He was trained as a journalist.

However dry they are, that doesn't show where they were before the worldwide Flood.
