The Bible came from the Arabian Peninsula.

Kamal Salibi, a history professor at the American University of Beirut, has uncovered a startling linguistic deduction that strongly suggests the Jews did not go to Palestine, but rather to the western Arabian Peninsula. While examining a directory of Saudi place names, he noted a particular emphasis on biblical place names in a 600-kilometer-long by 200-kilometer-wide area (the Asir region). Ancient Hebrew, like Arabic, was written without vowels. Salibi believes that sixth-century scholars may have mistakenly added vowels when standardizing texts, and he has returned to the original Old Testament without vowels to prove his theory, which he has indeed done. This deduction effectively reconciles the geography of Palestine with the apparent information in the Bible. Salibi's research documents these events as history for the first time, but within an Arab context. This book has sparked considerable debate among academics and politicians. This is a crucial undertaking, and everyone should seek evidence from its original sources.
