Satellite photos reveal two dry riverbeds flowing toward the [[Persian Gulf]] near where the Tigris and Euphrates in Mesopotamia also terminate. This would account for four easterly flowing rivers. [[Archaeology|Archaeologist]] [[Juris Zarins]] claimed that the Garden of Eden was situated at the head of the Persian Gulf, where the [[Tigris]] and [[Euphrates]] Rivers run into the sea at {{coor dms|29|47|0|N|48|38|0|E|}}, from his research on this area using information from many different sources, including [[Landsat]] images from space. In this theory, the Bible’s [[Gihon|Gihon River]] would correspond with the [[Al-Qurnah]] in Iraq, and the [[Pishon|Pishon River]] would correspond to the [[Wadi Al-Batin]] river system (also now called the [[Kuwait River]]) that 2,500-3000 years ago drained the now dry, but once quite fertile central part of the Arabian Peninsula from the [[Hijaz mountains]] 600 miles to the South West. This theory is supported by C. A. Salabach [http://focusmagazine.org/Articles/pishonriver.htm The Pishon River - Found. by C.A. Salabach at Focus Magazine].
