Bible History Tripped Up By Camels
Camel bones suggest error in Bible, archaeologists say | Fox News

Camels are mentioned as pack animals in the biblical stories of Abraham, Joseph and Jacob, Old Testament stories that historians peg to between 2000 and 1500 BC. But Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen of Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology and Near Eastern Cultures say camels weren’t domesticated in Israel until centuries later, more like 900 BC.

Such discoveries are rare because the camel was not at home in urban societies, but useful for long journeys across the steppe and desert.

How much similarity would it bear to "http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/open-discussion/338181-benz-world-any-fans.html]Benz World, Any Fans?"? How about "BC v. the Mods"?

Know why they call camels ships of the desert? Because they carry Arab seamen.

I'd like to be a spectator at the camel races in Saudi Arabia sometime.

It's a big deal over there.

No thanks. Too volatile for my liking. I'll watch a Youtube video.

Well, the bible or any religious text isn't a history book so why does it have to stick with facts? Did they stick with facts when they introduced the deity?
