<P> Several cosmological and mythological systems portray four corners of the world or four quarters of the world corresponding approximately to the four points of the compass (or the two solstices and two equinoxes). At the center may lie a sacred mountain, garden, world tree, or other beginning - point of creation . Often four rivers run to the four corners of the world, and water or irrigate the four quadrants of the earth . </P> <P> In Christianity and Judaism, the Old Testament (Genesis 2: 8 - 14) identifies the Garden of Eden, and the four rivers as the Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, and Gihon . The Tigris runs to Assyria, the Euphrates to Armenia, the Pishon to Havilah or Elam, and the Gihon to Ethiopia . </P>
