The Embarrassing Truth About the Bible: It's STILL Being Edited
Posted by mattusmaximus on April 22, 2012
[**Update (8-16-15): While I'm pleased this is one of the more popular posts on this blog, it is important to see how this post fits into the larger fight by the "pro-life"/anti-choice movement against science. For more details on that, see this more recent post ]
As most skeptics and atheists (as well as a number of well-educated religious believers) know, the Bible is a work of humans. As such, just as any other book, it has been edited and revised quite a lot over the last couple of thousand years. It's not the purpose of this blog post to go into the details of who wrote what parts of the Bible when, nor will I get into the question of the numerous inconsistencies and contradictions contained within this supposedly "divinely inspired" book. (Though if you're interested in those topics, I suggest starting with a basic primer on textual criticism of the Bible.)
Rather, I would like to address something which is easily verified by anyone: the fact that the Bible, contrary to the claims of many fundamentalists, is actually STILL being edited. And sometimes these edits have made quite significant deviations from the "original" text. Further, some of these edits have been made for what appear to be contemporary political purposes.
"You mean… it's NOT the same as it was only 45 years ago?!!" — Image source
In order to prove my point, I would like to reference an excellent article on this topic from the Slacktivist blog over at Patheos.com titled "Mischief follows in partisan Bible translations". The basic point behind this article is that contrary to the claims of various fundamentalist factions that the Bible is unchanging and inerrant, it has in fact been edited quite recently. Specifically, the evidence proves that the Bible has been edited for partisan political purposes on the issue of abortion as recently as the late 1970s (which is within the lifetime of many readers here!) Read this excerpt from the Slacktivist article for more on this:
… As I noted earlier, this change in the words and meaning of the Bible is more recent than the introduction of the Happy Meal.
The New American Standard Bible is a popular English translation, a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. It was completed in 1971 and then revised and updated in 1995. I want to highlight one major change in one passage of the NASB — a case in which the 1995 update alters — and is intended to reverse – the text of the 1971 NASB.
Those dates are important in understanding the reason for this change. …
Now, let us look at the analysis of come critical Bible verses which have been edited in the context of contemporary views on abortion:
… That brings us to the text I want to highlight here as another example of politicized distortion via translation: Exodus 21:22-25.
Here is how Exodus 21:22-25 read in the New American Standard Bible's 1977 revision of its 1971 original translation:
"And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is not further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
You can see how this fits in the context of the chapter. Here is another category of victim for which another set of punishments for violence is given. If a pregnant woman gets struck "so that she has a miscarriage," but is not herself injured, then the man who struck her must pay a fine. But if the woman herself is injured, then the same rules and punishments for striking any other (non-slave) person apply — "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, etc."
But here's the same passage in 1995 in the updated current version of the NASB:
"If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
"So that she has a miscarriage" has been replaced with "so that she gives birth prematurely." [emphasis added]
Wait… what? Why the distinction between miscarriage and premature birth with no injury (presumably to the fetus/baby)? Because this change in the text fits with the new view on abortion which started to pervade U.S. politics starting in the late 1970s:
… But something changed between 1977 and 1995 — something that had nothing to do with scholarship, language, accuracy, fidelity or readability.
American politics had changed between 1977 and 1995. It had polarized and radicalized millions of American Protestants, rallying them around a single issue and thus, as intended, rallying them behind a single political party.
In 1977, the sort of American Protestants who purchased most Bibles couldn't be summed up in a single word. But by 1995, they could be: "abortion."
And for anti-abortion American evangelicals, Exodus 21:12-27 was unacceptable. It suggested that striking and killing an unborn fetus was in a separate category from striking and killing a "person." Strike and kill a free person, you get the death penalty. Strike and kill an unborn fetus, you get a fine.
And so in 1995, like those earlier translators who invented and inserted "Junias," the translators of the NASB reshaped this passage. "She has a miscarriage, yet there is not further injury" would, in consideration of the changes in American politics since 1977, henceforth be transformed into "she gives birth prematurely, yet there is no injury."
Politics — specifically, the political desire to control women — shaped the translation of that text. The translators changed the words of the Bible to make it seem like it supported their political agenda. They changed the words of the Bible so that others reading it would not be able to see that its actual words challenged and contradicted their political agenda. …
So the Bible is the "unchanging and inerrant" word of God Almighty, according to these fundamentalists who "read the Bible literally"… until, apparently, it says something that they don't like. And then, what's the solution? Apparently, the solution is to change the text to say what they want it to say.
Can anyone say hypocrisy? If these so-called "literalists" are so willing to play fast and loose with the very text upon which they place to much emphasis, it's almost enough to cause one to ask just how much of this sort of thing has been going on for the last 2000 years, and thus question the validity of much (if not all) of the Bible, isn't it?

Great post. But the beliefs of devoutley religious people will not be affected even slightly by this information, will it … what a shame.
January 7, 2015 at 10:16 pm
i agree that this is a shame, but the last question is sort of implies a fallacy doesn't it? just because there is one instance in recent history that supports your claim (quite well i might add) doesn't mean the entire bible for the entirety of it's history should be discarded. and that's just a specific version of the bible. There are countless other interpretations of the bible, who is to say that all of them have been tainted? in comparison with the dead sea scrolls the current version of the
bible actually retains it's original context very well. nice article though

What you are claiming Chris does not change the original context of what the author was saying. It is essentially saying the same thing only phrased differently. Your move.

I believe you're committing a logical fallacy in what you conclude from the Slacktivist story here. While I certainly agree that translations have certainly been used to promote certain worldviews, jumping from this story to questioning "the validity of much (if not all) of the Bible" is at best a hasty generalization.
While translations can certainly vary slightly, translations are based off of collections of some very old manuscripts (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_manuscript#Extant_Tanakh_manuscripts), which generally agree with each other quite well.
Certainly the use of translation to change the meaning of the text to agree with a certain group's political leanings is deceptive and well…unbiblical, the leap you make from this issue to your point that the Bible is therefore fundamentally flawed is a large one lacking any real connection- the sort of leap I'd expect more from the type of people who would deceptively translate a Bible.
April 24, 2012 at 2:53 pm
@Ben Wildeboer you are quite right. In fact it is the translations that are the fault of man, but the Word as God gave to man is perfect and unerring. Unfortunately there has never been a bible not created by man. Thus the original assumption that that the bible is a load of crap used as a tool to control the masses is accurate.

Say there was a researcher studying the efficacy of a certain vaccine. Due to certain pressures, this researcher somewhat dubiously selected certain data while ignoring other data in order to show the vaccine was extremely efficacious. Later the researcher's dubious research practices were revealed and it was found the vaccine didn't work at all. Then the anti-vaxx community comes out and says, "This researcher was playing fast and loose with the data- it makes you ask just how much of this has been going on, and thus question the validity of much (if not all) of vaccine research.
I'm not proselytizing here (heck, I can barely even spell proselytize)- I just think we need to apply the same evidence-based critical thinking skills we apply to science and medicine to all areas. The Bible should be up for critical analysis- but let's do that using skills from the "Skeptics Tool Belt" instead of borrowing from the "Woo Belt."

Whenever there is a word or phrase that is unclear in any translation of the Bible, you'll find a footnote that gives alternate translations. This is the same whenever anything is changed from a previous version. The current version of NASB I found at biblegateway.com has a footnote next to the phrase in question that reads, "Or an untimely birth occurs" or the literal translation, "her children come out." So if you look at just the literal, it could be either way, but keep in mind that in those days there was no NICU, so there would be no practical difference between prematurity and miscarriage. If a baby were not mature enough to eat, breathe, or keep his/her temperature stable he/she wouldn't survive. What it looks like to me that the verse is saying is that if the baby comes out and is mature enough to suffer no real damage, the man pays a fine, perhaps to cover the doctor's fee. The definition for "miscarriage" is "the expulsion of a fetus before it is viable" [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/miscarriage?s=t], so it seems to me that considering the context the verse has the same meaning in either version.
No need to worry if the Bible has been "tainted," since the current policy is that if there is any change that could affect the meaning of the text it is fully disclosed. Now, if there were changes made without any indications or notes, then that would be bad. So whatever version you are looking at, rest assured that as long as it indicates when changes have been made or whether it is a paraphrase or not, it is still good.
For those who want to take a look at this verse or any other verse(s) try the Amplified Bible. It comes in King James New King James, and even though they are not the smoothest read (all the parentheses), they help with those difficult bits. Also, Greek/Hebrew dictionaries help, and looking at other verses related to the one in question like in the Full Verse Cross Reference NLT (nice and convenient) or in a concordance (only slightly more work).
Looking up the verses and definitions for this has helped me a lot. I read Ex 21:22-25 a week or so ago and had wondered about it myself, so now I have a more concrete answer. Thanks for posting.

Exodus contains a law for Jews; neither I nor the christians are Jewish. I do not bother with somebody elses religous laws and neither should any christians, The hebrew bible or " Old Testiment" was writen buy Jews for Jews not for non Jews. Show some respect! Stay out of somebody elses religion!

There is no proof what so ever the bible was written or "inspired" by God or any other spirit diety which do not exist!
September 7, 2015 at 3:21 am
@Victor how much research have you done? In order to make a statement like that consider:
5,600 manuscripts of the old testament alone which can be independently verified just hop on a plain and head to Israel.
10,000 manuscripts of the new testament which can also be verified which is far more than the Quaran or Homer's poem Iliad or Casear's Galic Wars,
Don't forget about Josephus the Jewish historian and Marcus the Roman historian both of whom were not cheerleaders for Jesus but yet both historians confirm the bible.
What about all that archaeological evidence found all over the world that corroborate the bible?
Many brilliant scholars have tried and failed to disprove the bible and ending up becoming Christians themselves based on the mountain of evidence that was found while researching.
Consider also that the Bible interprets itself despite being written at different time periods by many different authors. Daniel made his predictions some 700 years before apostle John wrote The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Revelation also refers back to Genesis, Deuteronomy etc. Ask yourself what are the odds of that happening? Well since you asked you are better off buying a lottery ticket.

You may like to check out AN Wilson's writing on the Bible – he wrote a book about Jesus, as portrayed in the Bible. (Jesus: a life, 1992) AN Wilson studied Greek at school/university, and is thus able to read the Bible, quite literally in its "orignal language". He subjected the gospels to literary criticism and shows how the actual accounts of Jesus's life are often completely contradictory. What Christians have done for 2000 years, is to cherry-pick bits from the Bible into a "coherent" story line, filling much of the blanks with folklore. According to AN Wilson, much of what people think they "know" about the life of Jesus is little more than folklore.

And then there's the "Wicked Bible" where the King's printer, Robert Barker, left out the word "not" in one of the 10 commandments. He
printed "Thou Shalt Commit Adultery" So, for a time there, many were out having orgies with other women with impunity.

Thank u for the post! if the word of god is inerrant, it is either all inerrant or it's not. Funny how christians use old testament when it suits them and discard it when convenient.

Oh how I love the foolish. They use carnal thinking to describe god's word. Yes, men wrote it.but by inspiration of god. Known as the "Holy Spirit" He is the one that sends the words of god through them. The bible said: Write these things which I speak. They did. God, also made clear the lack of understanding of the wicked who knew not God. This is why they are called the foolish. They do not understand much less teach the truth of the word of god. Even what I speak comes from the father. I wrote this, but my god is the inspiration. Amen
April 2, 2013 at 12:52 pm
Prophets write down the words of their god. They know their words are dictation. We do not.
When we hear that their written testimony itself insists that we're being "foolish" and "wicked" to believe others, that "holy spirit" prophet is clearly inspired by a thousand yearold jewish myth, not a 14Billion yearold creator of this universe they inhabited. Those prophets of monotheism are as profoundly mistaken about how to detect a true prophet amongst countless false prophets, as they are about their own personal "god-breathed" words they have in mind. We have the benefit of historians. They only had court jesters and story tellers.

God level soldier – People of other faiths are just as devout in their beliefs as you are in yours. Many other faiths describe, using the same talk as you, how the words of the 'one true faith' were revealed to mankind.
Most of the followers of other religions are so because of where they grew up, what faith their friends and family believe in.
Are they all damned to the eternal burning torture of hell?
Can any such 'inspiration' be the one true version that will save souls, whereas any other faith is false and can only lead people to hell?
October 5, 2013 at 3:20 pm
There is no hell but the one we make ourselves.. Rightiousness is hard to see and even hard for man to live by. You don't get it, some do. To take in words with mind alone is not the way to undetstand the Word. Funny though most all doubters eventually do come around. I will bet you will also.
Yes I believe in God and bet along with other sins i was taught not to. I don't expect to see a heaven but I know enough to be grateful for life, no matter what it offers. Who or what do you give thanks to for your existance. Parents are the vehicle but not the designer or mechanic of it.

Well said Jain. We see only the bad that man has don under the flagship of religion. I know one thing is a fact, there is no rehabilitation of the soul for cons or inmates that have done a full 180 turn like the faith they had excepted. I would not want to live in a world where Jesus's teachings did not exist. We today can travel the world with comfort of knowing that peace is instilled in many we will encounter. Try that back in the day of head hunters and human sacraficial societies. God's teachings has done more good than can be measured. But we are human and like that we all go through the rebellious teeage phase til we know what we had not seen to appreciate. …

Yes the Bible is still being written today. God still gives messages to people. God even puts his signature of approval on them with his own name JEHOVAH confirming the words to be His very own. Ethnic Cleansing is coming to the United States and evil doers are the ethnic group being targeted. Tornadoes descending from the sky that look like giant elephant trunks. Seek shelter underground. Flying glass spells trouble. God's destroying angel was released to begin surveying the United States during August of 2003, 2 years in advance of devastation. Anyone having a problem with this will surely die for my hand is upon my servant the prophet. YOU DOUBT THIS?
Well, my sister, my dad, and my college roommate doubted, and all 3 died in the consecutive years following 2005 (i.e. 2006, 2007, 2008).
This is a sobering warning. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died on a cross to take your punishment in his own body for your sins. He shed his blood just to save you because he loves you that much. In believing, you will receive eternal life and escape the Great White Judgment Throne. You have not earned this gift in any way. No one can make it into heaven and have eternal life apart from this great truth.

well surly human hand touched the bible wither old or new testament , actually new testament doesnt have a good history or maybe most of the books , like matthew gospel is in greek while matthew didnt speak greek , its just collection of books were chosen and no proof its from matthew luk john …. and just small search will proof that
now if u read :
(American King James Version
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. However, they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.)2 Chronicles 21:20
(26Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.)2 Kings 8:26
(King James 2000 Bible
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.) 2 Chronicles 22:2
so was ahaziah 22 years old or 42 years old ?
and if he is 42 it means he is older than his father ???
u think god may do such mistakes ?? sorry thats surely human mistake , fact has to be accepted ,

Thank God who showed the truth.
All muslims believe that the Torah and the Bible were both edited thousands of years ago, even before Quran was revealed to the Messenger Mohammed (may peace be upon him), and that is why Quran was revealed to The Prophet to rescue the people from those who devise lies against God just to serve their agenda. Now I'm going to give the evidence from Quran that really proves that christians and jews are deceived by their priests and scholars. These texts were revealed to The Prophet more than 1400 years ago and has not changed since then and will not be. May be some of you will ask "what is the proof that the Quran was not changed?!" Well, you will not find more than one copy of Quran. Also Islam has denominations, like Christianity and Judaism, but the difference from these two religions is all these islamic denominations has the same copy of Quran, pure and unchanged. Before I give the texts here is a note: in Quran the people of scripture or people of book are Jews and Christians.
"46. Among the Jews are some who take words out of context, and say, "We hear and we disobey", and "Hear without listening", and "Observe us," twisting with their tongues and slandering the religion. Had they said, "We hear and we obey", and "Listen", and "Give us your attention," it would have been better for them, and more upright. But God has cursed them for their disbelief; they do not believe except a little." Sura of al-Nisa
"47. O you who were given the Book! Believe in what We sent down, confirming what you have, before We obliterate faces and turn them inside out, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. The command of God is always done." Sura of al-nisa
187. God received a pledge from those who were given the Scripture: "You shall proclaim it to the people, and not conceal it." But they disregarded it behind their backs, and exchanged it for a small price. What a miserable exchange they made." Sura of family of Imran
79. So woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands, and then say, "This is from God," that they may exchange it for a little price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn." Sura of al-baqarah
"80. And they say, "The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days." Say, "Have you received a promise from God-God never breaks His promise-or are you saying about God what you do not know?" Sura of al-baqarah

Was the original version of the bible change in the way that the messege was lost in context or only the word meanings and interpretation?
August 19, 2015 at 3:09 am
There is no original version of the bible.
Each verse is as fictional today as the day it was written down.
To worry about any english translation is to concede far too much about what is being PROSERVED which is (1) an oral tradition (2) of unknown human hand (3) patchworked together by proto christians.
So any literary concern about the cleanness of the signal-through-time overlooks the underlying topic of authenticity and misinformation: "if there were changes made without any indications or notes, then that would be bad".
Churches are literally spreading Bad News.
Their holy testimony is counter factual.
Holymen are mistaken to teach us any biblical moral. All that matters is human mortality.

[…] The Embarrassing Truth About the Bible: It's STILL Being Edited […]
September 22, 2015 at 5:10 pm
This page and site was 'debunked' when they found the dead sea scrolls confirming the bible (KJV) has remained the same since the time they (the Dead Sea Scrolls) were buried. The King James Version is the one to use to prove there have been no changes and are no contradictions. If you start referring to the new age versions (NIV, etc) you'll notice there are contradictions and obvious changes (to make it more readable). The trick to finding the correct version that hasn't been changed and has no contradictions is to refer to the King James Version.
One modern teacher that has approached every single contradiction and all skepticism of the Bible is Kent Hovind. Check him out! He has some great material available on youtube and it's all FREE.
If you choose to ignore this message, it's due to a heart issue. There is no real evidence against the Bible's authenticity guys. Try studying the book of Proverbs in detail! It is so intrinsic. There hasn't been any other book of it's kind EVER. It is so mind blowingly deep!!! Another youtube teacher to check out the Proverbs study with would be Chuck Missler. He touches on the dept of just that one book and has studies of the other books too. If you want to grow in Wisdom, check out Proverbs. As for these types of sites, proverbs teaches about scorners, the simple, and the folly. These sites totally measure up to everything proverbs says about them.

I am a devout Christian and I fully believe that to say the Bible has been unchanged for over 2000 years is willful ignorance. Not only are things lost/gained in translation, but there is no possible way that the views of dominating nations through history haven't affected ANYTHING in the Bible. You would have to be blind deaf and stupid to believe that. One (obviously biased) website says that proof the Bible hasn't been changed is the fact that the Bible itself says it's a sin to change it. If you honestly believe the fact that it's a sin will stop people from changing it, you don't understand humans nor Christianity. Jesus died for us because we ALL sin, so saying that the Bible hasn't been changed simply because it's a sin to do so is almost blasphemous in it's own right.

The KJV says: "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine."
A lot of holiness fundies like to thump the KJV, and claim that anything else has been altered.

16x16 is still best practice, this isn't something that is likely to change soon.

I personally access the web from my phone about 90% of the time when I'm not at work so if it doesn't work on the phone it is not a viable option for me, but currently the overwhelming population still uses desktops or laptops, so you should still have a sizable potential user base by ignoring mobile.

I can't speak for Android but a quick search would seem to suggest it's handled by an app or free reader app rather than the browser. The iPhone opens PDF's on the fly in Safari and if you save them it saves them in iBook. You don't have to do anything special to achieve this just link to the PDF as you normally would.
I can't seem to find anything either about this, but the one thing I can assume is that because the mobile screen is much smaller that the scroll speed is probably faster, e.g. if you do a big long swipe on the mobile vs a swipe on the desktop it wouldn't scroll as fast because there is less data to scroll.

Noli Novak: Portrait of a Stipple Artist
Those familiar illustrations on the pages of The Wall Street Journal look just like engravings. But the intricate portraits, called headcuts, are actually a sort of pointilist sketch — drawn by hand using a technique known as "stippling."
Noli Novak, a New Jersey-based artist, has produced Journal art for nearly 20 years. At her studio, she typically receives an e-mailed photo of her subject. Then, deftly employing a number-one pen, she copies a three-by-five inch image onto special vellum paper. She creates a realistic image with a constellation of dots, lines and crosshatches, a process that generally takes about three hours.
Novak grew up on the Croatian island of Korchula, and reached the United States in 1984, after college. In addition to doing her own work for the Journal, she now trains new artists. She makes sure everyone draws in a uniform style, making it nearly impossible to tell whose hand lies behind which portrait.
And Music, Too
Noli Novak also has a band, Novakseen. Two songs from the 2000 CD 'Goat Black':

Miracle in the Sahara: Oasis Sediments Archive Dramatic History
Part 2: The 'Man of the Desert'
Kröpelin is a wiry, hands-on man with seemingly inexhaustible energy, whoseems youthful despite his 61 years. In an article titled "Man of the Desert," the journal Nature describes him as "one of the most devoted Sahara explorers of our time." Some see him as part of a tradition established by predecessors like Heinrich Barth and Gustav Nachtigal.
Kröpelin, like these great scholars of the 19th century, is a universalist. He is equally at home with such diverse subjects as stone-age settlements, the ecological importance of solitary wasps and the angles of sickle-shaped migrating dunes.
Most of all, Kröpelin is a gifted storyteller. "I was just in the shower, when " he begins, and before long he is in the middle of a gripping story. Shortly before his departure, he says, he received a call on his satellite phone from a French colleague. The Frenchman and his camel expedition were lost in the canyons of the Erdi-Ma, a barren region in northeastern Chad into which hardly any humans had ever set foot. To help the lost Frenchman, Kröpelin used old GPS notes to direct him to one of the rare watering holes. "He must be out there somewhere," says Kröpelin, pointing to the rocky landscape north of the Ounianga lakes. "I hope he makes it."
"The desert attracts a special sort of person," says Kröpelin, as he seamlessly launches into his next story. This one is about a pedantic botanist, whose Jeep overturned while he was maneuvering his way around the cracked surface of a dry lakebed. But the botanist did not crawl out of the vehicle until he had painstakingly documented the accident in his field book. And then he talks about the time Sudanese soldiers pursued him through the desert for days, until they caught up with him and demanded some of his diesel fuel.
He launches into a discussion of politics. The rumors about Islamist terrorists, the horrific stories from Darfur and now the war in Mali -- all of this, he says, doesn't make working in the region any easier. But the dangers are exaggerated, says Kröpelin, noting that walking through some neighborhoods of New York in the evening is riskier than spending a week in the desert. Nevertheless, fear has driven away some of his fellow geologists. The French, once so numerous, aren't coming anymore, he says. It's also become difficult to find doctoral students in Germany willing to put up with the hardships of working in the Sahara.
Into Ounianga
But this time the 21st century has found its way into Kröpelin's realm. Before departing from Marseille, the desert explorer excitedly took a picture of the departure board at the airport. He could hardly believe his eyes: The board listed a 3 a.m. departure for a charter flight bound for Faya-Largeau.
Point-Afrique, an adventure travel company, had managed to make use of an old French military airport in the small oasis city in northern Chad for tourism purposes. Now it offers charter flights in the winter season, taking travelers on board a Boeing 737 to one of the most remote spots on the planet. "Unbelievable," says Kröpelin. Making the round trip from his home to his research site within a week is something he has never experienced throughout his entire academic career, he says.
From Faya, it's only a one-day trip in an off-road vehicle to the Ounianga lakes. The journey passes through a wasteland that stretches to the horizon, with one of the giant sickle dunes occasionally blocking the way. Slowly and inexorably, the dunes move across the plain in a southwesterly direction, traveling about one kilometer a century.
Dust-covered tire tracks are the only evidence of a road here, along the main artery between Libya and Chad, as well as the truck tires, scattered at regular intervals, that former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi had his troops leave behind during his expedition into Chad. Like Hansel and Gretel in the forest, Gadhafi wanted to mark the route for the trip home.
Until recently, hopelessly overloaded trucks crawled along this path too, bringing goods from Libya to Chad and Sudan. But trade has come to a standstill since Gadhafi was overthrown, and now weeks go by without a single vehicle passing through the region.
Kröpelin's expedition, traveling in three off-road vehicles, also doesn't encounter a single person along the way. A few runaway camels turn up shortly before their destination, where scattered acacia trees indicate that there must be water deep underground there. Then, quite suddenly, the spectacular view of the Ounianga basin appears.
On his first visit to this idyllic green spot in one of the driest places on earth, Kröpelin was so fascinated that he has since fought to place this natural treasure under protection. He achieved his goal last year, when UNESCO declared the lakes a World Heritage site. Kröpelin proudly pulls out a UNESCO map. While there are many sites in Europe, there is only one dot in the vast open spaces of Chad: Ounianga.
But Kröpelin is too restless and enterprising to be satisfied. He has already set his sights on his next goal: to convince UNESCO to add the Ennedi Plateau, more than 200 kilometers farther to the south, to its list. For Kröpelin, the plateau's uniqueness is beyond question. "Monument Valley is nothing by comparison," he says. The region is also culturally significant, he adds. "You won't find stone-age cliff drawings like the ones in the Ennedi anywhere else in the world."
Dreams of a Green Sahara
Kröpelin is fascinated by the relationships among the histories of the climate, the earth and mankind. He is interested in how people responded to change in the Sahara. Here in the inhospitable dryness of the desert, blades and arrowheads made of quartzite or ring-shaped traces of settlements are evidence that Homo sapiens were once omnipresent in the Sahara.
"A Stone-Age burial mound," Kröpelin says, pointing to one of the piles of stones rising from the plain. "What's so fascinating about it is that everything is preserved in just the way it was left thousands of years ago."
During an expedition into the no-man's land east of the Ounianga lakes, Kröpelin even believes he found traces of an ancient Egyptian caravan. He discovered a stone statue of a man, visible from far away on a high plateau, similar to the statues uses on mountains today as guideposts for hikers. Kröpelin suspects that what he had found was a landmark for desert travelers from the days of the pharaohs.
There is evidence that the expeditions from ancient Egypt extended to at least the current Egyptian-Libyan border, says the geologist. A few years ago, hieroglyphics were found there, at Uwaynat Mountain. Kröpelin thinks it is conceivable that traders stopped there to replenish their water supplies before continuing their travels toward Ounianga.
To reinforce his theory, he points to the eroded cliffs that shape the landscape along the shores of the Ounianga lakes. Over the millennia, the constant wind has carved them into step pyramids.
Kröpelin believes that the similarity between this shape and that of structures along the Nile is more than coincidental. He theorizes that gradual desertification drove the Egyptian people out of their original habitat, which is now the Sahara Desert. He points out that silhouettes of the tombs of the pharaohs, visible from a great distance, are characteristic of precisely the region that was once home to the Egyptians.
Will a return ever be possible? Will the Sahara turn green again one day?
Even Kröpelin knows that by answering these questions he is delving into the realm of speculation. Nevertheless, he is gathering evidence.
A rare rainfall over the otherwise dry Sudan in 1988 awakened his suspicions for the first time. If everyone was talking about climate change, why shouldn't the monsoon in Africa be changing, too? Perhaps global warming could drive it back to the state it was in once before, after the ice age.
Of course, all of this is merely anecdotal evidence that doesn't stand up to scientific scrutiny. Nevertheless, Kröpelin is convinced that the evidence is growing. In fact, he says, he even believes that there is now real evidence of change, and that the desert is getting greener.
The geologist feels validated by recent news from the Faya oasis. Last summer, residents told him, they were surprised by a sudden downpour. Huts were washed away and people drowned. This had never happened before, they said.

She is married to Iain Burns, head of BA corporate communications, and they live in Farnham, Surrey.
Here, she tells ISLA WHITCROFT about the operation she had to straighten her spine and her surgeon explains the procedure.
WHEN I was 13, an aunt noticed that I was dragging my right leg, but my GP said it was simply to do with growing up.
Then, at 18, a routine medical picked up a spinal twist and a doctor sat me down and explained that I had something called scoliosis.
He told me that this twisting or curving of the spine generally happens during puberty and no one was really sure why or how. In the majority of cases the curve did not get any worse.
I was referred to a surgeon who X-rayed me and confirmed that I had scoliosis. My spine was twisted 30 degrees to the right in the chest area, with smaller curves in my neck and lower back. The doctor felt that it may not get any worse so the treatment was simply to be monitored to ensure that the curve was not increasing.
Throughout my 20s, I was very sporty and fit, but if I had been honest I would have admitted that my hips were becoming uneven and my waist was becoming crushed up on my right side. In summer 2003, I was in my gym kit when my boyfriend Iain suddenly said that he could see my right shoulder blade protruding as my entire upper torso began to rotate around to the right, following my twisted spine.
My heart missed a beat but I still somehow put it out of my mind. Shortly afterwards, colleagues started to ask me if I had a limp and when I wore tight-fitting clothes friends said they noticed a lump in my shoulder blade.
I began to get self-conscious and finally, after months of badgering from Iain and my family, I went to see my GP in March 2004.
He referred me immediately to Mr David Harrison at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, north-west London. I saw Mr Harrison in April 2004 and went for X-rays. When I saw the result on the light box, I was speechless. It didn't look like a spine - it looked like an S-shaped snake, and it was now curved at 37 degrees.
THE possibility of an operation was mentioned, but at that point Mr Harrison was more concerned with monitoring the curve's progression. Six months later my spine had curved another three degrees.
It was a great shock. Mr Harrison then sat me down and explained that I needed an operation to straighten my spine.
Basically, he would cut me open from my neck down to the lower part of my back, try to move the spine back into position and then secure it with two rods on either side. The vertebrae would be fused to prevent it curving again and I would be left with a rigid, but straight, upper back. That's if all went well.
On the other hand, the operation ranks alongside open heart surgery for patient risk and - because it involves proximity to the spinal cord - one in 500 operations results in death or paralysis.
Iain and I went home to consider the options, but deep down I knew I didn't have a choice.
My operation was on June 4. I was extremely nervous and at the back of my mind was the thought that I might wake up paralysed - or not wake up at all.
But after a four-hour operation, I woke up in the recovery room and the first voice I heard was Mr Harrison saying that he had managed to get a near-perfect correction. I was on cloud nine.
I was in high dependency for 24 hours and had a line into my neck for antibiotics, a catheter, a couple of drips in my left hand and an oxygen tube up my nose.
Two days later I was fitted with a back brace - a stiff plastic shell which protects the spine while it heals - and then I was allowed up.
The physiotherapist was there to help me and although my back felt very stiff and I was bit shaky, I was ecstatic to be walking again. …
