Oddly, the evidence suggests that those same Persians introduced monotheism to a bunch of ignorant inhabitant of a burned out city in Judah in the 6th century as well. But I figure that will make your fucking head explode.
No one is saying there were no camels. What they are saying is that they were domesticated for the Arabian trade. It was the riches of the Arabian trade which led the Assyrians to expand southward and dominate those routes.
I really don't give a flying fuck what your silly-assed bible says. It's a pile of shit. This is about archaeology and you are as ignorant on the subject as Drippy. For your information...not that I think you will listen to anything that doesn't start with "In The Beginning" because you are a hopeless case... the domestication (not taming!) of Asian elephants goes back to 6,000 BC.... which oddly is before a first class schmuck like you thinks the world even existed.
Ummmm yes the babble takes it up the arse AGAIN!

Shit it is even reported by Faux news!

Archaeologists from Israel’s top university have used radiocarbon dating to pinpoint the arrival of domestic camels in the Middle East -- and they say the science directly contradicts the Bible’s version of events.
Camels are mentioned as pack animals in the biblical stories of Abraham, Joseph and Jacob, Old Testament stories that historians peg to between 2000 and 1500 BC. But Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen of Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology and Near Eastern Cultures say camels weren’t domesticated in Israel until centuries later, more like 900 BC.
Oh dear.
