Certainly ironic is that most of the teachers of biblical archaeology assume as do the uniformitarians that the Promised Land’s climate during for instance the days of Abraham was much the same as today, when in reality the Promised Land received about three times the rainfall as today, when where today is the Negev was verdant thus the Canaanite cities no need of irrigation for farming, “hunter/gatherers” in effect until the Ice Age ended in the days of Moses and the Exodus.
