FIGURE 10.3 ( Continued ) Images of Delta Marsh, Manitoba, a vast wetland complex
whose location between agricultural flatlands and a large open-water body is reminiscent of

to events in Manitoba being linked to the destruction of the original Mesopotamian marshes,
now underneath the Persian/Arabian Gulf (see France 2012).
