The Gihon is usually thought to be the Nile River, which flowed from the region of Cush, south of Egypt. However, it could have been a smaller river originating in "Cush" (Kashshu) in west Elam, which is very close to the Tigris and Euphrates. The Kassites (Greek: Kossaeans) were from there.
Hata hivyo, ungeweza kuwa mto mdogo unaotokea "Kushi" (Kashshu) magharibi mwa Elam, ambayo ipo karibu sana na Tigris na Frati. Wakasi (Greek: Kossaeans) walitokea huko.
