The purpose of this thesis is essentially a delineation of the climatic history of the Near East, particularly recent geological and historical times. The area here considered under the term 'Near East' comprises Asia Minor, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt. On the other hand, the time span designated by 'recent geological time' and 'historical time' are taken to mean the period 10,000 - 500 B.C., and 500 B.C. to the present respectively. For the former period, the evidence used is almost exclusively derived from geology, whereas historical sources supplement the geological and allied evidence for the latter.
