It isn't like the first people were in America or Mexico. Africa is where civilization stemmed from. The Bible occurred in Africa and the Middle East. Some of the New Testament, I assume, such as Corinthians, are about Europe. The Bible is not limited. GOD bless you!

You are not serious, are you? There was very little of the rest of the world. They would have had to walk. China would have taken years to walk to. Australia was unreacheable probably not even known at the time. Northern Europe was like China, so many many miles away. Yes it shows how limited the book is. It was written by men who lived in Palestine and never went to New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles.
Next time you want to poke fun, get thy stuff together.

The Crown Penal Colony of Australia was not yet established. Someone put you up to this, right? Or are you really that ignorant? Christians? The Bible was written by a bunch of Jewish Patriarchs, and the New Testament by Jews who decided to follow Jesus. Get some facts, puppy.
I shudder for the future if you are indicative of present day learning. I would venture to say that the term, "Clean up on aisle 6" is in your employment future.

I assume you are under 15? In those days you just couldnt hop on a commuter bus, tax cab or charter a flight for the Bahamas.
WALKING was a major form of transportation as well as horses, mules and carts and boats which "sailed" without engines.
Today people who have money can go any place withing a few hours depending on the mode of transportion. Back in the Bible days.., it would take months and years to reach foreign destinations.
Thats the SIMPLIFIED version. Hope this helps.

?? ?? ??? How much of the Bible have you read ?? ?? ???
I am finding the book of Daniel so densely packed, it is going to take me a long time reading it to even absorb a fraction of it|
You have no idea the knowledge in there in cryptic form, and how a single account can refer to innumerable events, all different because they are different events, but with a commonality, linked through the principle of analogy that allows the passage to apply to them all.
You talk about fractals, self-reference, symmetry, analogy, symbolism, meta-communication - all that modern science is now exploring - the Bible has all that and much much more|
And the people in there go to a heck of a lot more places than you mention| Just look at Acts, St. Paul goes all over Europe - and the politics he has to deal with are absolutely incredible (from Christians, Jews, and Greeks)|

It's not a geography book. It's not a travel book. It's not a study on anthropology. It's the story of the revelation of Jesus Christ to the world. From beginning to end, it has no other purpose. Jesus was Jewish, and lived in a very small area of the planet.
Now His Word is worldwide - just as He said it would be.

The bible was written by men in the Middle East. It reflects the world they knew, as they knew it. Just as Greek stories reflected their known world with their assumption of how the supernatural works (pagan gods), the same goes for those in the Middle East.

The disciples did travel to other places. Look when the books were written. There wouldn't have been a lot of migration in just 30 years, as they were building the "home" church.

Because it is a record of a particular tribe of people who lived in a particular series of locations. All historical texts are limited in location.
