Four Rivers of Eden Identified. The region around the Tigris-Euphrates headwaters is the site of Eden which according to Genesis was connected to four rivers, two of which were the Euphrates and Tigris. The identities of the other two  called Pishon and Gihon  have not been conclusively determined by scholars.
The Tigris flows to Iraq and joins with the Euphrates in Iraq before reaching the Persian/Arab Gulf to Shatt-al Arab. Until the end of World War I, these rivers were under the control of Ottoman Empire, and little international importance was attached to the river basin.
