may well be the Pishon River, one of the four rivers, according to the Bible, associated with Eden." That such a near-confession could be coaxed from a reputable archaeologist is nothing short of amazing.

 The Garden of Eden
From the land of Havilah and along the Pishon River, the bdellium (from Yemen), the onyx (from the Wadi al Aqiq- Mahd adh Dhabab area), and the gold (from Mahd adh Dhabab) could have been brought to Mesopotamia, as is suggested by Gen. 2:11-12.
In summary, geological and biblical evidence suggests that the four rivers of Eden from west to east were the Pishon (Wadi al Batin), the Euphrates, the Hiddekel (Tigris), and the Gihon (the Karun and/or the Karkheh).
And while the identification of the Pishon and Gihon Rivers must still be considered as somewhat tentative, the certain identification of the Tigris and Euphrates leaves no doubt as to the approximate location of the Garden of Eden.

There is still one river to identify, the Pishon and we find in verse 11 above the following: The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
To help us find the Pishon we need to also look at verse 11 as it is recorded in the King James Bible and it reads: The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
To the Southwest is the Pishon and Gihon and to the Northeast we have the Tigris and Euphrates.

Pishon, "flowing freely," should be considered the initial stage of experience in this flow of the Triune God upon the earth.
Pishon flows around the land of Havilah, which in Hebrew means "causing growth." When we experience the flow of the Spirit, we should realize that this free flow is for our growth, not just for an enjoyable experience.
The bdellium (pearl) produced by the river Pishon signifies that this flow is produced by the death of Christ and yet is something organic.

The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compassed the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold...And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it that compasseth the who land of Cush.
We can be reasonably certain from Scripture that the Ark came to rest in this general region—at the spot where the Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris and the Euphrates sprang forth from the ground to water the Garden.
When—and if—fossilized remains of the Ark are found in the mountains west of the Aras Plain, the remains will mark, for all time, the general location of the Garden of Eden.

Throwing open its doors in November, the Pishon Gourmet Bistro claims to be the Holy Grail of takeout for Seoul.
The secret is that Pishon uses the same recipes as justifiably famous high-end restaurants - one but a stone's throw up the hill, one to be found among the high walls of Ichon and one flung far across the great river in Gangnam.
As a service to the fair people of Seoul, a unique feature of the Pishon Bistro is that it sells its sauces and dressings for loyal subjects to enjoy at home, while its restaurants offer a fine selection of wines from faraway lands such as France and Italy.

It is quite obvious that this word Pishon (or Phishon) is a word specially “coined” by the writer of “Genesis”; to express the idea he had in mind as, except when quoted, it is never found in use in any way in the language.
Gichon is concerned with types of activity-motive force, etc. It is that which determines any movement, change or activity in the material realm and material conditions.
Pishon had to do with forming or developing physical substances; Gihon had to do with organisms, and activities more or less mechanical, instinctive, and impersonal.

This separation of the Gihon/Nile river from the known Hiddekel (Tigris) and Perat (Euphrates) necessitated the Pishon to be of somewhat equal distance in the opposite direction and so the Ganges or the Indes where chosen as possibilities.
This however, is not the exact meaning of the Bible when it says (Gen2:10) “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.” These four rivers do not truly come out from one source (I think).
The Pishon is found in the SW quadrant and I am unclear if it is a tributary of the river in the plain in the same way as the Aras.

If, however, Havilah is to be equated with the large and old tribal federation of Khaulan in SW Arabia, the Pishon likewise is to be localized in that region...A. Springer (1875:49) was the first who compared the biblical Pishon with the Wadi Baish in the SW of the Arabian peninsula.
As was probable already in antiquity, in the 10th century the wadi Baish, abounding in water, formed the north boundary of the densely populated and terraced mountainous region of Khaulan (and until 1934 it was the border between the kingdom of Yemen and Saudi Arabia).
Below, a map showing Havilah which was associated in Genesis with the Pishon river, one of the four rivers of Genesis' Garden of Eden (Ge 2:10-12).
