Retouched NASA Photograph

NASA Photograph

Red Sea shorelines shortly after Rift Valley breakup.

Present day Afar Triangle has ocean-like magnetic signature.

The retouched NASA photograph (top-left) represents the Red Sea shortly after the rift valley "split" (peleg) and separated Africa from the Arabian peninsula. If a hot strip, as shown, was visible to Peleg's contemporaries, then perhaps it suggested the name for the newly forming sea. See: On Finding an Ice Age Book - Barnard E. Northrup. In the Days of Peleg - James P. Dawson. Send comments/questions to Bob Fritzius at fritzius@bellsouth.net Top
