2.6 The Fertile Crescent and Climatology

The Fertile Crescent, also known as the Cradle of Civilization, is explained and explored. This episode also walks through a few theories relating to the climate of that region in the time period of the Old Testament. But, before this is done, the methods used by researchers in deducing their theories is explained. Next week, I’ll give a general outline of the human history of the region that will serve as a basis for the forthcoming deep dives.   After listening, let me know what you think.
