Tigris and Euphrat on your map do not have any common source. So they do not correspond to the Genesis description at all.

You say that it just changed. Is there any evidence of such huge change?

And even if some river dries up, there is still detectable river bad, at least on satellite maps. If it went around all Ethiopia, it had to be a large river (Ethiopia is below Egypt).

Well considering that all of this description applies to being before the global flood that went over the mountains by 15 cubic feet, it may be that everything got messed up and two rivers became extinct.

Maybe this site will help in your search, but I reckon it will still be only theoritical and hard to prove, but you may find it interesting.

The Rivers of the Garden of Eden

First, let's identify the geographical region of the Pison river. The Bible says: "Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold" and gives us two good clues. There is a recently discovered "Fossil River" that runs from the western mountains of Saudi Arabia towards Kuwait. This old river course is now nothing more than a dry riverbed. It was detected by satellite imaging. Many have speculated that this may be the ancient Pison, as it has been dry since about 3,500 to 2,000 BC. Although Saudi Arabia could marginally qualify for the land of Havilah, the fossil riverbed that flows across it had its origins in the mountains bordering the eastern side of the present day Red Sea, south of Israel.

Yeah and while you're figuring out this "problem",
maybe you could solve the "problem" of Memphis.
Those stupid historians keep saying Memphis is in
Egypt, but everybody knows Memphis is in Tennessee.
Like there could possibly be two different places which
existed at two different times with the same name.
Idiots.

Unfortunately the OP lacks either understanding or intellectual honesty.
Probably both.

Well, I do not suppose you believe that Ethipia or Assyria were before the flood... or do you?

Bible is inerrant in its message about God and Christ.

Not in every word used, in every word translated etc. If you do not know what I am talking about, compare for example synoptic gospels. You will see many differences, but still the same spiritual message.

That is a big can of worms, but if you want to go there. Why would there be a different Spiritual Message. Pay attention to How each of the Gospel speak of Jesus. Pay attention to the Gospels on who they are speaking to. Pay attention to each of the Gospels on where they took place, time of day, etc. and finally pay attention how each gospel is written according to the person who wrote them. Matthew - Tax collector, Mark a fisherman, Luke as Physician and John the other 1 of two that was Beloved by GOD.

Of course, there has always been rumors that Mark, Luke and John took from Matthew and visa versa. The trouble is that as Matthew uses words within the gospels that the other 3 do not use. It could be that he wrote his gospel last so he would know the words not to use. That could be said for all the other three that they could be last to wrote their Gospels... They each use words that were not used by the other three.

Ah, How can all be last at one time.

It was found Dr. Ivan Panin (1855-1942) that the "heptadic" (seven-fold) structure of the Biblical text was revealed that the unique words to Matthew were evenly divisible by 7... Before you start,,,All the unique words of other Gospels, Mark, Luke, John, etc. were also divisible evenly by 7. Maybe just a touch of God

One other thing before I go... You said:"Bible is inerrant in its message about God and Christ."

The synaptic Gospels as they are called are not the errant parts of the Bible (KJV) that I spoke of..... As for ME....... His word is true simply because I can see his fingerprints all through it. I pray that one day, you do as well.

Have a blessed day, sir.
