The Old World is a reference to those parts of Earth known to Europeans before the voyages of Christopher Columbus; it includes Europe, Asia and Africa.
A topic we've gone around with several times resurfaces.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
You are only too correct RS.
We are talking a huge area.
If it was that fertile, what will we find when we really look.
BTW, who knew there was either Basque or Sahrawi archaeologists ?
