What they found was evidence for a 500-year drought that started around 8,300 years ago. In a press release, ... That was the first of three droughts, and the third one is where things get interesting. It happened around 4,000 to 3,700 years ago, a time that coincides with the story of Joseph as told in the Book of Genesis.

    "What I pray of you is, to keep your eye upon Him, for that is everything. Do you say, 'How am I to keep my eye on Him?' I reply, keep your eye off everything else, and you will soon see Him. All depends on the eye of faith being kept on Him. How simple it is!" (J.B. Stoney)

    A drought that took place some time between 3700 to 4000 years ago (a three hundred year time period) is a bit problematic for the claim.
