James A. Sauer argues new evidence from the Near East shows alternating wetter and drier periods since 3,500 B.C., aligning with Genesis accounts. He cites wetter phases at Hula Lake and in Mesopotamia, and suggests local floods and mid third millennium famines underpin biblical traditions rather than myth.
