Why Did So Many Prophets Come From the Same Place?

Why do so many of the prophets we know by name seem to come from the same small part of the world?

And it begins with a clay tablet discovered in 1872 that contained a surprisingly familiar story — written centuries before the biblical version. History, geography, religion, and one very interesting question: why here? #History #Religion #ancienthistory
