I think 3,000-4,000 years ago the region was a little less arid. Remember, the climate of the whole region began to change (dryer) at the end of the last Ice Age.

It was, it wasnt...whatever. :o)

I believe The Word and dont care too much for the unrelated minutia. I do enjoy finding out some of the details involved in the exodus. A great book called Halley's Bible Handbook, written at the end of the 1800s or the early 1900s is a great resource.

Unfortunately I left it in Richmond over the weekend or else I'd be quoting that thing left and right. The sited information and science explained in the book makes the exodus all the more amazing.
