I will tentatively concede the presence of camels as an outside possibility pending any other research coming to my notice.Said by whom? A lot of things are said. You said that camels weren't domesticated until 1,000 BC, and we see that that's wrong.
However, I will note that your sources say that camels were first domesticated for meat rather than transport and that they did not come into common use until 1000 BC. Moreover, it is said that the Egyptians did not even hear of camels until 525 BC,
Actually, it was said by W. F. Albright who, bible-thumper that he may have been, still has far more impeccable credentials as an archaeologist than you do....which is not a hard bar to get over.
Truthfully, when even a bible-thumper admits that his fucking bible has anachronisms it is quite a compelling argument. Takes a lot to get you fuckers to give up the fight.
