As I'm not like most atheists, due to having a partial belief in the Bible, I can see evidence of the Hebrews' existence in Saudi Arabia, or at least hints of that possibility. Here are some Biblical verses that suggest the Hebrew's were in Saudi. For now I'll just cover snakes, scorpions, deserts/wasteland, water out of rocks, rifts, camels and lions. Although individually these verses mean nothing, collectively they do suggest a first hand experience of the country.
