Little details in the Bible tell us the various authors wrote of past events but used features current to their day.
Instruments mentioned in Daniel, and recent carbon dating of camels places their domestication around the 10th century BCE. Yet Genesis says they accompained Abraham on his journey.
Thanks for posting this Designs! I appreciate every scrap of evidence that this "sacred" book is not infallible and god-inspired. The link to the article from Tel Aviv University was helpful.
Also a place mentioned in Exodus was not even built when Moses and his mob were supposedly wandering around!
I can't find the link y'all, read about 'munchies' but can't find the flying Camels...

Insearch- "flying" was just a fun way to introduce the Camel story. The article about when camels became domesticated, and several publications now carry it, show the value of science and when scientific methods help us understand history.
I wonder if the Awake will ever run this story., or if they will try again to dismiss carbon dating.
Abraham was using dinosaurs but calling them camels.
I saw the article's headline in the NYT but only had time to skim. Hey, unicorns were plentiful during the MIddle Ages.
I still cannot understand why after leaving Egypt, some in Moses' group said they planned on going to DsnyLnd ?
