2.10 The Table of Nations
This episode explores what is probably the most historically dense chapter in the Bible, namely Genesis 10. Specifically, the sons and grandsons of Shem, Ham, and Japeth are explored. The theories that surround the nations that arose from these three men are the primary narrative of this episode. Finally, did Noah have other children? This too is addressed. Next week, I’ll discuss the Tower of Babel and the origin of language. No short task. After listening, let me know what you think.

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.
