Dr. Konstantin Borisov, a Korean scientist raised some very interesting points recently. He even proposes that Giza’s Great Pyramid, considered a wonder of ancient engineering, is the true site of the biblical Garden of Eden. Borisov’s, inspired by ancient texts and medieval maps, touristic wonders, isn’t the usual explanation that locates Eden in Mesopotamia, today’s Iraq.
Yet even the Great Pyramid was constructed more than 4,500 years ago. Similar to the layered beams in its unique relieving chambers, it has five unique branches that parallel its estuary home. These relieving chambers are a remarkable architectural achievement that distinguish the pyramid from all other ancient structures. Multi-physics simulation studies have focused only within the King’s Chamber inside the pyramid. These experiments showed that charged particles bunch at its tip, producing electrical discharges that look eerily like a luminous tree.
Dr. Borisov draws parallels between this glowing effect and the Tree of Life, a mythical tree said to have stood near the Great Pyramid. With ties to many different cultures, according to biblical narratives their Tree of Life bore fruit that grants eternal life. Borisov said that the simulation sets up charged particles in such a way that they interact differently. This lay out creates multiple parallel branches that diverge outwards from the central line, producing a dramatic tree-like visual.
The relationship between the pyramid and ancient texts that it depicts grows deeper still when examining the Hereford Mappa Mundi. This 13th-century mappa mundi maps the world as a flat circular Earth surrounded by a mythical oceanic river, Oceanus. This legendary river might be based to some extent on actual rivers like the Nile, Euphrates, Tigris, and Indus. The biblical description of a river coming out of Eden, dividing into four heads, reverberates with Borisov’s findings.
The first-century Jewish historian, Titus Flavius Josephus, wrote about one such garden. He has it that one river went around the whole globe and then divided into four sections. Borisov explained the meaning of this Old Testament verse. He noted that the map no later than 500 BC distinctly features the only four rivers to come from the Oceanus encircling the known world so far — the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates and Indus.
This theory has huge consequences. It postulates that all rivers we know from biblical stories can be followed back to this early engraving of the world. This means we’ve mapped all the rivers from the Bible, continued Borisov—now we just need to track the course of Oceanus River around the planet to determine the place of Eden.
