Do you know what the first Bible was? In ages before Christ great walls were built around cities to protect the people from 'the badlands' which were the vastness of deserts that people were known to disappear if they ventured outside of the gates and be murdered or enslaved by evil people; and also to protect the inhabitants from sickness and deadly diseases [as there were no medicines]. Then early one morning something happened that began to change their beliefs and fears of the outside world.. small tablets of text were thrown over the wall [sandscript] that informed them of the truth and about life elsewhere in other cities, and soon they began exchanging sandscript like newspapers and then began communication that in turn began their trusting and removing their doubts and fears, and they started venturing to the other cities in caravans and trails became roads that are now highways. There was great rejoicing and marketplaces were built along the way [there is a true story of this happening]
