CAIRO (Reuters) - Archaeologists in Egypt have found eight Stone Age grain stores at an oasis southwest of Cairo that help show the shift from hunting to agricultural societies, the Ministry of Culture reported.
The ministry said the discovery was made by a team from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in an area north of Fayoum 60 miles southwest of Cairo, where 67 grain stores were found in 1926.
"The well-preserved nature of these stores helped experts to understand the transformation of societies, from depending on hunting to a stable agricultural society," government antiquities chief Zahi Hawas said in the statement.
Okay, class, take out your Bibles and turn to the book of Genesis, chapters forty-one through forty-seven, and read them. Egyptian society was transformed, alright... in very short order, too. Abraham's great-grandson played a pivotal role in that transformation.
I think it's fun to watch the archaeologists uncover more and more evidence that bears out the Biblical accounts of things. It only proves to me that those who object are not doing so because of scientific data but instead because of an adherence to their own kind of religion based on human superiority.
