Bible Discussions.....

The first part of the answer was in response to WR as those other religions believe in their path just as the Christians do. As in response to what he described for those that are Christian.

No need for a conspiracy. As the entire planet is learning......that this region of the World was not the Cradle of Civilization. None can dispute the Brews were Nomadic before they settled into that region. Course taking from those all around them. Even Jewish Scholars admit to them being Nomadic.

What does any of this have to do with the Mid East being the cradle of civlization?

All Parts are relevant when concering any civilization. Can't just pick and choose which ones mean something. Or Don't!

What are you talking about?

ummm I guess my teachers in grade school were wrong ... for years they taught that civilization began in the mesopotamian valley,

you know the place where the tigress and the euphrates rivers come together.. oh well next thing you know it will be that civilization acctually started at the north pole and moved south because of inclimental weather patterns. go figure.

Yeah I was taught the same in school. Including College. That was until they discovered several cities that are over 10k old. Thus leaving that theory where, now?

Cities over 10K years old have been known for decades. Jericho, for example, was first inhabited circa 9000 BC making it 11K years old.

It is. It is believed that the movement to sedentary settlements first occurred in the Levant around 12000 BC

Thanks D, good to know.

[Mister D]

Of course the oldest currently inhabited city is no where near that old. I think it's Damascus in Syria?
