Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
(Genesis 12:10) KJV
After the tectonic breakup of Pangaea there were at least 201 years before the birth of Abraham. This brings us to the time of Job and the patriarchs. We don’t know much about the Earth at this time except that there were occasional famines.
Abraham experienced the first of 3 generational famines. It caused he and Sarah to go to Egypt. This is very symbolic and it’s usually used to picture the bad decisions that we make when we’re walking by sight, not by faith. Whatever the spiritual significance may be it’s the first in a series of climatic cycles which is the precursor to what we now call global warming.
