Where is EDEN?

GOOD MAPS

Beetle, here is a good site I found with good maps and some intelligent discussion of the region.

I think it is interesting to follow.

I didn’t’ look at the rest of the site so I am not endorsing it, other than the maps it provided

I know some field engineers who have been working there in the recent past and was basing my opinion on what they told me about their time there and the difference when compared with Saudia Arabia, Turkey and Iraq. Jordan has been a sleeper nation which is another way of saying there's not much happening there, which I assumed from my conversations implied it was politically stable, so one need not worry about the country going up in flames if you were a tourist or on assignment there. But since I wrote my 2 cents worth I see there are rumblings...seems the Jordan government has kept the public disapproval defused and well under wraps. So I was wrong; Jordan does not appear to be the Eden I thought it was.

As for the Suez canal, it's a vital, global transpiration link between east and west. So long as the civil disobedience is contained to Cairo, it's not an issue. But if someone gets a wild hair up their yingyang and wants to create havoc all they have to do is stage an attack on a ship. They don't have to do any physical damage...it's the psychological impact that will do the most damage. Think along the lines of flying jets into the Twin Towers, the USS Cole in Yeman, or pirates off the coast of east Africa. If a group of protesters want to get the world's attention, the Suez canal is the place... the victims are trapped with no place to hide or room to run.

I can't see any way Egypt's

I can't see any way Egypt's civil turmoil shuts the canal, Beetle. I also dispute your view of Jordan as "the only Eden" in the region. There are anti-government protests going on as we speak, and the country is in its own unique way a powderkeg. Great security apparatus, though.

Before GPS, pilots had to rely upon IFR to know where they were in the world...IFR = I Follow Roads. And in the case of oceans, they followed ships and their wakes.

"It is assumed that the Sumerians were organized into city-states before the Egyptians were, although it was once held that the oldest centre of civilization was along the Valley of the Nile. Although there is, as yet, no evidence of the Sumerians without basic elements of civilization, it is believed that they came from the North and East"

The Euphrates came out of Eden

The Hid’de-kel is the old name for the Tigris

(Genesis 2:10-14) ¹⁰ Now there was a river issuing out of E′den to water the garden, and from there it began to be parted and it became, as it were, four heads. ¹¹ The first one’s name is Pi′shon; ……… ¹³ And the name of the second river is Gi′hon; it is the one encircling the entire land of Cush. ¹⁴ And the name of the third river is Hid′de·kel; it is the one going to the east of As·syr′i·a. And the fourth river is the Eu·phra′tes.

You're sailing in the wrong seas, matey. Eden is believed to be either in and around Bahrain or Qatar. The Persian Gulf was at one time was dry land. Eden is suppose to lie somewhere under the waters in the area.

Actually, no one has yet to mention the importance of the Suez canel...just think about the impact closing it down would have. And the oil from the gulf too. I believe the US doesn't use any of it, however, if the spigot is throttled down, whatever is available on the open markets will rise...just how far I can't say or would even try to imagine. But you are correct...we'll have to shift our focus to alternative energy sources in weeks rather than years. And it may very well displace many people in the job markets who think they're immune. You gonna pass the popcorn ?
