7:20 The mountains were covered - Therefore there were mountains before the flood.

The flood was global, but did not rise up over the mountains, such as Everest. The Garden of Eden, Adam down to Noah did not take place in the Middle East, but that is where the Ark rested. Noah and his sons named the new places after the old.
