How many rivers did the river in Eden split into once it left the garden?
A:The story of the Garden of Eden identifies four rivers: Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. There can be no single terrestrial place that would serve as the common source of these four widely separated rivers. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers do meet, but the text associates the first river with Havilah, possibly a reference to the Arabian peninsula, and the second with Ethiopia, in faraway Africa.

Could the legendary Garden of Eden be in east Africa?
Yes, the Garden of Eden could be located in Africa. The Book of Genesis says there were four rivers that went out of Eden, the Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. The Gihon is described as being in Ethiopia, which is in Africa. However, the two rivers that are clearly known to us, the Tigris and the Euphrates are in south-western Asia. 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. This geographical impossibility tells us that the Garden of Eden was a purely mythical place.The Hebrew people seem to have believed it was somewhere in the Near East and the myths, from which the Genesis story is no doubt derived, are Near Eastern myths. Even in legend, the proper location of the Garden of Eden is not Africa.
Why are the Nile Tigris and Euphrates river so important?
The Tigris river is one of two rivers: the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These rivers are both so important to Mesopotamian life because it provides them with water. Drinking water, bathing water, water for irrigation, the rivers also contain silt which acts as a natural fertilizer. All of the land out of reach from these two rivers had basically no resources. If you look at a physical map of Mesopotamia/Iraq in 3,000 BCE you will see that only Mesopotamia is green. Everywhere else is just plain old dry desert. Follow me on Twitter ProdigySF
