This is the transcript to my video:

Gihon and Pison rivers & Havilah the land of GOLD,

located! - YouTube

In my previous video titled “The Garden of Eden was in

the Black Sea! Biblical and Geological proofs provided!”
dated August 24, 2019, I identified in detail the ancient
Gihon river and its entire course. I showed in that video
that the head or source of the Gihon started from the
Bosporus submarine canyon located southwest of the
Black Sea.

Now an early and obvious theory of submarine canyon

formation was that some of them present today, were
carved during glacial times when sea level was about 125
meters below present sea level, and that rivers flowed to
the edge of the continental shelf.

From the Bosporus submarine canyon, the Gihon river

continued its southwards course, part of which is now
currently submerged at the Marmara Sea, then the
Aegean Sea, and then the Levantine Sea.

It is interesting to note that just very recently, scientists

have discovered a giant ancient river system the size of
the Nile submerged under the eastern Mediterranean Sea,
otherwise known as the Levantine Sea. They called this
ancient river, Nahr Menashe. And in my opinion, this
discovery proves beyond any doubt that a portion of the
Gihon river once flowed there when the sea level of the
Mediterranean was much lower and its seabed was much
higher:

Ancient River Discovery Confirms Mediterranean Nearly Dried Up in the

Miocene By Mara Johnson-Groh, dated March 25, 2019:

A giant abandoned river system the size of the Nile was recently
discovered under the eastern Mediterranean. The ancient river flowed for
only about 100,000 years … when a diminished Mediterranean Sea was
isolated from the Atlantic Ocean.

“In order for there to be a huge river system…the Mediterranean [basin]

would have had to be exposed to a fair amount,” says lead author Andrew
Madof, a geologist at Chevron Energy Technology Company in Houston.
“Maybe 75 to 80 percent [of the Mediterranean Sea] was dried out, but
there was probably a lake that this river system was flowing into.”

“People have predicted that [rivers] should have been flowing into this part
of the Mediterranean [Sea], but nobody had ever seen it before,” Madof
says. “This is the first major discovery [of a paleoriver] in decades.”

From the submerged portion of the Gihon river at the

eastern Mediterranean or Levantine Sea, the Gihon
connected with the Litani river; which used to flow
eastwards and got connected with the 2 main tributaries of
the Jordan River, namely the Hasbani and Banias Rivers.
However the current flow of the Litani river was reversed,
and is now westwards towards the Levantine Sea instead.
And this is due to thrusting at the Mount Lebanon Thrust
(abbreviated MLT in the map) which caused the coastline
where the Litani connects with the Levantine Sea to rise
higher. Because remember, rivers always flow from higher
elevation to lower elevation.

Now submerged beneath the Jordan river is the Jordan

Rift Valley, which is an elongated depression located in
modern-day Israel and Jordan. This geographic region
includes the entire length of the Jordan River – from its
sources at the Hasbani and Banias Rivers, through the
Hula Valley, the Sea of Galilee, all the way to the Dead
Sea, and then continues through the Gulf of Aqaba whose
shorelines it incorporates, until finally reaching the Red
Sea.

Now submerged under the Red Sea is the Red Sea Rift, a
spreading center between two tectonic plates, the African
Plate and the Arabian Plate. It extends from the Dead Sea
Transform fault system (also sometimes referred to as the
Dead Sea Rift), and ends at the East African Rift.

The East African Rift is an active continental rift zone in

East Africa. The rift, a narrow zone, is a developing
divergent tectonic plate boundary where the African Plate
is in the process of splitting into two tectonic plates, called
the Somali Plate and the Nubian Plate. The East African
Rift transects through Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda,
Burundi, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. And
all these countries, together with Somalia, comprised the
ancient land of Koosh mentioned in Genesis.

At a rate of 6–7 mm annually, and as extension continues,

the crustal rupture caused by the East African Rift will
occur within 10 million years; wherein the Somali Plate will
break off and a new oceanic basin will form. And this is
why I believe the East African Rift was that part of the
Gihon river mentioned in Genesis 2:13, that bordered the
entire land of Koosh.

In the past the East African Rift was considered to be part

of a larger Great Rift Valley. And in addition to the East
African Rift, the Great Rift Valley is also composed of 3
other rifts, namely, the Red Sea Rift, the Dead Sea Rift,
and the Jordan Rift Valley, all of which I have already
discussed a while ago.

Thus in my opinion, the Great Rift Valley was that part of

the Gihon River that is currently running through both the
African plate and the Arabian plate.
Now the part of the Gihon river that is located near the
Dead Sea has a tributary whose source or head is located
very near (just around 3 km away) from the city of David,
and its name is the Nahal Kidron, or Kidron river. Since
the Kidron river is a tributary of the Gihon river near the
Dead Sea, the Kidron river I believe was the Gihon river
referred to in the Bible that is located near Jerusalem.

And it was also here at the source of the Kidron river

where I believe Solomon was anointed king:

1 Kings 1: 32-35 King David said, “Call in Zadok the priest, Nathan the
prophet and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” When they came before the king,
he said to them: “Take your lord’s servants with you and have Solomon my
son mount my own mule and take him down to Gihon. There have Zadok
the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel. Blow the
trumpet and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ Then you are to go up with
him, and he is to come and sit on my throne and reign in my place. I have
appointed him ruler over Israel and Judah.”

In a similar manner, note that Christ was baptized and

anointed with the Holy Spirit in that part of the Gihon river
which is located near the Jordan river.
The word Gihon occurs 6 times in 6 verses in the Hebrew
concordance of the King James Version. And in addition to
being one of the rivers coming out from the Garden of
Eden, and the place where Solomon was anointed King of
Israel, the Bible also mentioned how King Hezekiah
stopped the course of the Gihon and diverted it westards
towards the city of David via a conduit or aqueduct:

2 Kings 20: 20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and
how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are
they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Chronicles 32:30 (Holman Christian Standard Bible) This same Hezekiah

blocked the outlet of the water of the Upper Gihon and channeled it
smoothly downward and westward to the city of David.

Note that most Bible translations choose to translate 2

Chronicles 32:30 as “west side of the city of David” instead
of “westward to the city of David” like how the Holman
Christian Standard Bible translated it:

2 Chronicles 32:30 (King James Version) This same Hezekiah also

stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to
the west side of [Hebrew: Le] the city [Hebrew: `ir] of David.

The Hebrew word “Le” is a preposition that can be

translated as either “to”, “for”, or “of’. And the reason why
most translators chose to translate 2 Chronicles 32:30 as
“west side of the city of David” instead of “westward to the
city of David'' is because they believe the Gihon
mentioned in this verse refers to what is currently known
as the Gihon spring. The Gihon Spring in the Kidron Valley
was the main source of water for the Pool of Siloam in the
City of David.
The Pool of Siloam was a rock-cut pool on the
southwestern slope of the City of David. The pool was fed
by the waters of the Gihon Spring, carried there by two
aqueducts or tunnels, one of which is known as the Siloam
tunnel: and is believed to be the one built by Hezekiah and
which is mentioned in 2 Chronicles 32:30.

However, excavation work in the tunnel by Ronny Reich of

the University of Haifa and Eli Shukron of the Israel
Antiquities Authority has cast doubt over the attribution of
the Siloam tunnel to the reign of Hezekiah. They believe
the evidence points to a date several decades earlier, in
the last part of the 9th century or early part of the 8th
century BC.

I also agree that the Siloam tunnel, also known as

Hezekiah's Tunnel was not the tunnel built by Hezekiah as
the following verse clearly shows why what is currently
known as the Gihon spring was not the Gihon mentioned
in the Bible:

2 Chronicles 33: 14 (New King James Version) After this he [King

Manasseh] built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon,
in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed
Ophel...

This verse tells us that King Manasseh built a wall that

goes as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encloses
Ophel, and that this entire wall was located on the west
side of the Gihon in the valley.

Now the problem with the Gihon spring is that it is located

south of the Fish Gate and Ophel, and not east like how
the Bible describes Gihon. So if the Gihon spring was not
the Gihon of the Bible, then where was it?

2 Chronicles 33: 14 mentioned a valley associated with

the Gihon that is located east of the Fish Gate and Ophel.
This valley was the Kidron Valley, which is between the
Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives. It is a dry valley
where currently no river flows.

And unknown to many, this dry valley also connects with

the Kidron River and continues east throughout the
Judean desert in the West Bank, towards the Dead Sea,
as it descends 4,000 feet (or 1,200 m) along its 20-mile (or
32 km) course.

The 2 sources of the Kidron river and their confluent

location is where I believe Hezekiah built a diversion dam
to stop the upper watercourse of the Gihon as mentioned
in 2 Chronicles 32:30.

Diversion dams are installed to raise the water level of a

body of water to allow the water to be redirected. And
since the difference in elevation between the higher Kidron
Valley and the lower confluent source of the Kidron River
is a little more than 500 feet, I estimate that the height of
this diversion dam should have been around this value.

Also, since the confluent source of the Kidron River is

around 3 kms away from the Kidron Valley, I estimate that
the aqueduct built to connect the diversion dam to the
Kidron Valley should have been around this value as well.
Thus, with the construction of this 500 feet tall diversion
dam and 3 kms long aqueduct, the fresh water of the
Kidron River was diverted from flowing eastwards towards
the Dead Sea, to westwards towards the Kidron Valley
and near the city of David instead.

This means that during the time of King Hezekiah and his
successor King Manasseh, the Kidron Valley was flowing
with fresh water and not dry like it is today.

And this artificial river was the Gihon mentioned in 2

Chronicles 33: 14 located east of the Fish Gate and of
Ophel as well.

Now in addition to the Gihon and Euphrates rivers, and

their heads or sources which I already discussed in my
previous video titled: “Rivers & Garden of Eden FOUND!
The Truth. Biblical and Geological proofs provided!”,
Genesis mentioned another river named Pison.

Genesis 2: 11-12 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth
the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is
good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

I believe the Pison river was the Kura-Araks river system

that forms an enclosed basin which Genesis called the
whole land of Havilah. Of this area, 65 percent is located
in the South Caucasus countries, namely: 31.5 percent in
Azerbaijan, 18.2 percent in Georgia and 15.7 percent in
Armenia. The remaining part is distributed between Iran
(19.5 percent of the basin) and Turkey (15.1 percent).

The head or source of the Pison river was the Enguri

submarine canyon located at the southeast portion of the
Black Sea.

This canyon was then connected to the Rioni river, which

is also the closest river to the Enguri submarine canyon.

The Rioni river then passes through several of its

interconnected river branches before reaching the Kura
river (which is also known as the Mtkvari river).

These interconnected river branches are as follows:

Kvirila, Dzirula, Chkherimela, Chumateleti (where there is
a dried up channel that used to connect it with the
Chkherimela river), and finally the Suramula river that
connects with the Mtkvari or Kura river.

Thus all 3 rivers that went out of the Garden of Eden, and
which I have already discussed in this and my previous
video, namely the Gihon, the Euphrates, and the Pison
rivers, all had their heads or sources located at the Black
Sea. And these heads were the Bosporus, Kzilirmak, and
Enguri submarine canyons respectively.

This is why I came to the conclusion that the entirety of the

Black Sea, at the time when the elevation of its seabed
was much higher, was in fact the Garden of Eden.

The Kura–Araxes culture or the early trans-Caucasian

culture was a civilization that existed from about 4000 BC
until about 2000 BC, which has traditionally been regarded
as the date of its end; although in some locations it may
have disappeared as early as 2600 BC.

The earliest evidence for this culture is found on the Ararat

plain; it spread northward in Caucasus by 3000 BC. The
name of the culture is derived from the Kura and Araxes
river valleys. The Araxes river is also sometimes called the
Aras or the Araks river, while the Kura river is sometimes
called the Mtkvari river (which I already mentioned earlier).
In my previous video titled “What year was Adam created?
And which years are Sabbatical or Shemitah years?” I
mentioned that Adam was created in 4000 BC, and was
expelled from the Garden of Eden in 3996 BC. I also
mentioned that the great Flood of Noah occurred in 2344
BC.

Did Adam and Eve settle in the land enclosed by the Pison
river where there is gold after being expelled from the
Garden of Eden?

In the 3rd millennium B.C., one particular group of mounds

of the Kura–Araxes culture is remarkable for their wealth.
This was the final stage of this culture's development.
These burial mounds are known as the Martqopi period
mounds. Those on the left bank of the river Alazani are
often 20–25 meters high and 200–300 meters in diameter.
They contain especially rich artefacts, such as gold and
silver jewelry.

Wikipedia, Gold mining, History: It is impossible to know the exact date that
humans first began to mine gold, but some of the oldest known gold
artifacts were found in the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria which is located at
the western coastline of the Black Sea. The graves of the necropolis were
built between 4700 and 4200 BC, indicating that gold mining could be at
least 7000 years old. A group of German and Georgian archaeologists
claims the Sakdrisi site in southern Georgia, dating to the 3rd or 4th
millennium BC, may be the world's oldest known gold mine.
And this is why I believe the land enclosed by the Pison
river and which was occupied by Havilah shortly after the
Flood , was located at the Kura-Araks river basin which
included Georgia near the Black Sea. The Great Flood of
Noah occurred in 2344 BC. Thus any proposed location
for the land of Havilah, where gold mining occurred much
later than 2344 BC simply cannot be correct. Also, was the
disappearance of this culture between 2600 BC and 2000
BC, has to do with the Flood of Noah that occurred in
2344 BC?

After the Flood, the land enclosed by the Pison River was
occupied by Havilah, presumably one of the sons of
Joktan, who in turn was the son of Eber: an ancestor of
the Israelites and the Ishmaelites according to the "Table
of Nations" in Genesis 10-11.

And this explains why Ishmael’s descendants chose to

settle in the land of Havilah:

Genesis 25: 17-18 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred
and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was
gathered unto his people. And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is
before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria:

Note that Genesis 25: 18 describes the location of Havilah

as being adjacent or close to Shur, Assyria, and Egypt, all
of which are located in the Middle East. And this means
Havilah must have been in the Middle East as well, and
not in the Far East as some people are now claiming just
recently.

Also, notice that even some time after Ishmael’s death,

when his descendants settled in the area from Havilah to
Shur, and several hundred years before Thutmose III’s
reign, the Egyptian empire was said to have already
occupied upto a portion of Assyria which became its
eastern border.

By the way, I believe Shur refers to the entire Arabian

desert, and this means that the descendants of Ishmael
dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, or from Havilah until just
before the Arabian desert starts in its northernmost border,
which is also very near Baghdad.

Now In addition to the Gihon, Euphrates, and Pison rivers,

Genesis mentioned yet another river that also went out of
the Garden of Eden namely: the Hiddekel river.

Genesis 2: 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which
goeth toward the east of Assyria.

The Hebrew word Hiddekel occurs only 2 times in 2

verses in the Hebrew concordance of the King James
Version. In the Septuagint Bible, it was translated in Greek
as Tigris.

Currently, the known source of the Tigris river is Lake

Hazar. However, I believe the Tigris, or Hiddekel river
used to have another source, or head, that is located in
the Black Sea just like the other 3 rivers that went out of
the Garden of Eden. And I will be discussing this topic in
detail in my next video.

In addition, I will also identify in my next video the location

of Eden, which was connected to the Garden via a river,
as well as the land of Nod which was located east of
Eden, and which according to Genesis was where Cain
built a city and named it after his firstborn son Enoch.

I believe this city was also the city of Atlantis; as well as

the city of Dwārakā which Krishna founded. In the Hindu
version of this story, Krishna invoked Vishwakarma, the
deity of construction, when he decided to build his new
city. However, Vishwakarma says that the task can be
completed only if Samudra-dev, the Lord of the sea,
provided some land reclaimed from the ocean.

Shri Krishna worshipped Samudra-dev, who was pleased

and gave Krishna an island that rose from the sea
measuring 12 yojanas (773 square km), and on that island
Vishwakarma built Dwārakā, a "city of gold".
