First, what does the text actually say? It says there was
one river that flowed through Eden which then split up into
four rivers. This is opposite the situation with Nile
where many rivers, including four bearing the name Nile
come together, not split apart. Nor does it occur in
Mesopotamia, or indeed anywhere in the world. This was
discussed in some detail a few months ago in May.

While it is true that KW# is applied to Ethopia however it
also applies to at least two other locales, southern Arabia
and the land of the Kassites. Dr. Head made a very
interesting presentation of this in May thread.
