   Laugh!   
      
   This is an unsubstantiated claim that originates in   
   a RELIGIOUS book titled "LIVING ON THE EDGE challenges   
   of faith."   
      
   Not that it matters because, non-trolls know that   
   "Mesopotamia" isn't so much a formal political   
   division as an area, one that encompasses even parts   
   of Saudi Arabia... Kuwait... regions associated with   
   camels well before the Levant. And as the issue here   
   is the Levant EXCLUSIVELY you'd have to be pig   
   ignorant to point to "Mesopotamia"   
      
   Just saying.
