All that greenery is not how I envisioned Yemen. Are y’all sure that’s not Greece or Italy?
Irrigation works wonders, assuming one handles the drainage right.
probably qat gardens..
Can I get on your Ping list? Been reading some Sitchin. The guy (to me) is wildly entertaining. Thanks
:’) Which one?
A citizen of Yemen once told me that their folklore has Yemen as the location for the Garden of Eden hence the
city/port of Aden.
They probably grow coffee on those terraces, too.
What was the list for “Is the universe shaped like a donut?”
Or any that relate to science, pseudoscience , or science fiction.
Maybe I should ask what you have.
