Excerpt from The Pulse of Asia: A Journey in Central Asia Illustrating, the Geographic Basis of History After The Pulse of Asia was finished in 1907 the next step was obviously to carry the investigation into new fields. Palestine was chosen, partly because that country is geoo graphically unique, and partly because there and in the neighboring regions the course of history can be traced far into antiquity. As the result of a journey in 1909, under the auspices of Yale University, Palestine and its Trans formation was published in 1911. The evidence discussed in that book shows that Palestine and Syria are full of proofs of climatic changes quite as convincing as those in Central Asia. Moreover, the indications of pulsations are even stronger than appears in The Pulse of Asia. The curve shown on page 349 of the present book indicates dry periods from four to six hundred years after Christ and possibly about 1200 a.d. The evidence from Palestine and Syria in dicates a marked dry period not only at both of these times, but about 1200 b.c., while there are indications of minor periods at earlier times and also about 800, 600, and 100 b.c. And 300 to 400 ad. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
