Do the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers still exist today?
The Tigris and the Euphrates rivers are each a river in its own right, however they join each other in the Middle East. Their history is part of the history of Mesopotamia. The Tigris flows 1,150 miles from the mountains of east Turkey, through Iraq, navigable to Baghdad. The Euphrates also begins in eastern Turkey and flows 1,700 miles through Syria and Iraq and thence into the Persian Gulf. It floods twice a year.
Where does the Tigris empty into?
In southern Iraq the Tigris River is joined by the River Euphrates. They run together as a single river roughly 120 miles (193 km), and empty into the Persian Gulf. The Iraqis call this confluence of rivers by the Arabic name, Shatt al-Arab, "Coast/Beach of the Arabs." The Iranians call it by the middle Persian name for the Tigris River, Arvand Rud, or "Swift River."Both great Middle East rivers begin on their own far north in the modern-day country of Turkey. The lower nearly half of the joined rivers, the last 50 miles or so, forms the border between the modern-day countries of Iraq and Iran (formerly Persia), down to the river mouth, where it empties into the gulf.The huge fertile delta between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, long known as Mesopotamia, literally means "between the rivers." In Greek, meso is "middle, between" and potam- is the prefix form of "river." Some of the world's oldest civilizations established in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, and this region in Southwest Asia is also called, The Cradle of Civilization.

Was the geography of Mesopotamia or Egypt more like the Indus valley explain?
The geography of Mesopotamia and Egypt differs significantly from that of the Indus Valley. Mesopotamia is characterized by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, while Egypt is centered around the Nile River, both of which provided fertile land but in distinct ways. In contrast, the Indus Valley features a more varied topography with its own river systems, like the Indus River, and is surrounded by mountains and deserts. Overall, while all three regions relied on river systems for agriculture, the specific geographical features and environmental conditions differed considerably.
Could the Redwood Forest and Grand Canyon be part of the Garden of Eden?
No. The Redword Forest and the Grand Canyon are magnificent in their own right, but are on the wrong continent. The Book of Genesis describes four rivers flowing out of the Garden of Eden: the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. Only the last two of these are clearly known to us, but the Gihon is described as being in Ethiopia, which is also in another continent..Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that the Garden of Eden is a purely mythic place - a mere Utopia, literally "no place" - indicated by the fact that there can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. True, the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the lands the text associates with the first two rivers are clearly separated from the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the first to the north, the second to the south.

Where did mythology come about?
The Romans and Greeks started mythology. So you forget that the Egyptians had mythology almost 2000 years before the Romans and almost 1000 years before the Greeks? It is difficult to know which civilization had the first mythology as many civilisations overlapped each other and borrowed ideas from each other with their own twist on the stories. Maybe the first civilization to have some basic mythology would be the Sumarians which is one of the very first civilisations to develop in the Euphrates/Tigris river valley.
