Interesting....
While the Bible Speaks of Israel the Middle East the rest of the world existed, what was happening say in the lands of California, Mexico, Antartica and New York could be factors of the Ancient World we are just starting now to understand......
I suspect that 65 million years ago the deposits that characterize much of the modern middle east were being laid down as well, under water. I need a little more research on the rock facies, but I think that’s a fair statement generally.
