    This is legitimately one of the best channels on all of YouTube.

    During Operation Desert Shield, my unit traveled and camped in many of the places in your video as we moved into Iraq for what would later become the 1st Gulf War. Now, many years later watching this video it brings back many things I had forgotten. Mostly, I'm in wow that I was there and didn't even realize I was traveling and camping in areas of a biblical river that lead to Eden. It's sorta of a surreal moment for me now. Thank you for sharing this video! :)

    I was stationed in Saudi Arabia and we were military trainers to the Saudi army. When I was working at King Khalid Military City (northern Saudi) I could see this ancient riverbed running through. I knew when I saw it, that this was the ancient river Pishon. It’s amazing the these people also agreed it was also.

    I feel the planet was changed drastically during the flood making it almost impossible to find such landscapes that existed before the flood.

    One thing I'll never forget from my time in the Marines from 1999-2007 was being in Iraq in 2003. I was a door gunner on a CH-53 when flew over and circled Babylon. Even spent some time at the mesopotamian marshes where the three rivers converge. I think back to that often, because I grew up leaning about it and then being there in person makes it really special. Obviously, I wish it was under different circumstances.

This type of ministry is so important because it enables us to visualize the events of The Bible and strengthens our understanding of the text. Seeing the Holy lands also makes us feel closer to God. We truly and wholeheartedly appreciate your contribution to furthering God's kingdom! We will pray for the safety and well-being of you and your family as you continue your very important work. We will also remain prayerful that your ministry will continue to reach more and more souls for Christ! We do plan on purchasing at least one copy of your book for ourselves, possibly more for a few of our family members. Having this information on hand will be invaluable! We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate what you do and that you and your family are in our prayers! Much love from your brothers and sisters in Christ! Can't wait for another video!!
  • I love how your son is following in your footsteps. You must be a proud dad. What you bring is so insightful and helps brings the understanding to the bible

    When I was a child, I had no TV, but plenty of Natl Geographic magazines.... I poured over them with such fascination. I wanted to be an archeologist. Never did, but love this stuff!! Thank you. ❤
  • @landjayc
    I was stationed in Iraq three times and lived in several different places- Balad, Al Taqqadum, Al Asad and Baghdad. Traveled a good amount of the country. It's nice to see it shaping back up and not in a total war torn state. Great videos!
  • @MrsTM17
    I started reading Genesis this week and was wondering about EXACTLY this! I LOVE how the Holy Spirit works to educate us. Thank you for teaching TRUTH.
  • @spacebeast7958
    I give you all the respect in the world. Risking your life to discover the Bible’s stories. God bless you and your family and hard work.
  • I spent three years in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia as a child, and then a couple more years as a teenager in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I’m very impressed and thankful that you didn’t get more stuck in the dessert sand! Thank you for your work, and faithful love for Our precious Lord Jesus Christ. ❤✝️

    I was at a funeral yesterday and I was listening to people talk about the man’s life. They said he grew up Catholic. In 1991 he was on a tour in Israel with an archeologist named Joel Kramer. It was on that tour that pieces started to fit together about Jesus and his questions were resolved. He was then baptized in the Jordan River. I thought that was so cool! Thanks for all you do because you are making a difference for eternity!
  • @amynovitski2659
    This YouTube channel is amazing! I have learned so much. Please don’t stop producing videos. Your work is Kingdom work and God is honored by it. I absolutely love how you bring it back to the Gospel. All Glory to God!
  • @jonathan711
    I love how the Pishon was found and shown to be true. Joel always puts his heart into these productions and it shows. Glad he let his son have some screen time. Good job, Joel. Keep them coming!!
  • @syd7801
    Reasons this is now one of my favourite Expedition Bible videos: 1. The stunning drone footage 💯 2. Seeing Joel so excited to be back on home soil 💛 3. Seeing Joel's mini me following in his footsteps 🙏 4. Daydreaming about what the world looked like at the beginning 🤔
  • @sambee4927
    I worked in Saudi Arabia for four years. You do get that strange feeling that you're in a land with a very ancient history when you're there. The Saudi gold is famous especially for us Asians. Also, although the landscape has changed after the flood, we have to bear in mind that Moses wrote Genesis after the flood. And the context clues he gave could be applicable to the post-flood landscape.
  • @johorton7934
    You have answered so many questions for me. If you study Genesis closely, it tells the location of the garden. But the Pishon River was always a mystery to me. Thank you and God bless you 😊🙏
