He called it “a map of a blessing,” with Israel and its future Arab partners such as Saudi Arabia forming a land bridge connecting Asia and Europe, crisscrossed by rail lines, energy lines, and fiber optic cables.

"Our archaeological discovery has unveiled that this now-idyllic region once potentially offered a vital land bridge for human movement during the Pleistocene era -- when sea levels dropped and the now-submerged landscape was briefly exposed," explains Dr. Göknur Karahan, from the Department of Archaeology-Prehistory, at Hacettepe University, in Turkey, who was part of a fully female team of expert archaeologists from the country.
