Eden Found

There is a theory that the Garden of Eden was located at where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers enter the Persian Gulf. A Dr. Juris Zarins, of Southwest Missouri State University, has spent years working out his own hypothesis that the Garden of Eden lies presently under the waters of the Persian Gulf and was flooded thousands of years ago. Dr. Zarins started his theory with the biblical account and then added the unfolding archaeology of Saudi Arabia where he has spent most of his field time. In his search he has consulted the sciences of geology, hydrology, and linguistics from a handful of brilliant 20-century scholars and finally from Space Age technology in the form of LANDSAT space images.

I found this information facinating while reading an article on it at Idolphin.org. Although I am guessing that any information on this biblical account will be taken with a grain of salt no matter what the findings I counldn't help but get excited at the possiblility of locating such an important spot in history!
