All the opinions expressed in the sites I give links to are that of the authors.;You may disagree with some of the conclusions or opinions!!! Don't throw out the wheat with the chaff!!!!!!! ------------------- ------------------- Written/ compiled by Lewis Brackett There have been vast climatic change throughout history. Despite the current frenzy about "global warming", it has all happened before!!!!! The ancient world was much colder than today. Archaeology has shown that the sea levels were some 20-30 feet lower than today. the entire middle east, including the  Sinai and Egypt  was covered by dense forests with abundant rain. this continued through the Roman period. North Africa was the fertile fields where most of the grain was grown for the Roman Empire. From 600-800 there was a period of Earth upheavel resulting in a 200 year period of ice age, plague and famine ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Jerusalem: The Topography, Economics and History from the Earliest Times to A.D. 70 By George Adam Smith see page 64 http://books.google.com/books great+earthquakes+syria ----------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------

Great earthquakes in BC62 ad17, 117ad “””But Socrates and Sozomon describe an earthquake in 362ad which tore up the stones of the foundation of the temple of Jerusalem and threw down the houses and porticos near its site The Christians interpreted this as anger of GOD at emperor Julians attempt to build the temple””” (((now was this Emperor Julian's foundation stones or Herod's foundation stones??? ))) Syrian quakes 631 658 713 718 746 856 1016 1034… …. The last two 1016 and 1034 caused great havoc in Jerusalem ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------

About 900ad until about 1340ad there was a warming trend that caused the seas to rapidly rise displacing people; including the Vikings who then invaded England. The Norse records indicate that They were able to grow vineyards in Iceland, Labrador, Newfoundland, and there were lush meadows on coastal Greenland !  For hundreds of years the world temps were much warmer than today. As suddenly as the world had warmed, in 10 years it cooled off again sending Earth into a mini ice age with the 1700's the coldest in 1000 years. it even snowed in New England in June 1814! All of a sudden about 1880, the climate suddenly started getting much warmer and has been increasing in the last century. The world has warmed allmost 2 degrees since the 19th century.The world would have to warm up several More  degrees to reach the temps of the 6th to the 13th centuries. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------Climate in ancient Israel :rain;
