I read a book, Eden in the East, that discusses this possibility. Utterly failed to make the case. Too much water on top of all the evidence there might be. Just letting ya know, don't spend your money on E in the E.
I have the book...I thought it was excellent. I just ordered Out Of Eden
You probably wouldn't like Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders, by Dr Robert Schoch. It's reasonably good.
