I reuploaded this video because I got the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the opposite places. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Note* It is true the Hebrew word for headwaters mostly refers to the head of something, but the root word has so many meanings from head, chief, ends, divisions, companies, top, ridge, best, etc.

Needless to say, but the Hebrew is not necessarily referring to a place where one river splits to form 4 but can be referring to the reverse. The same can be seen with the word yatsa. It can mean to go out or came out: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3318.htm
