What happened back then?

Approximately 6,000 years ago, the Sahara Desert was characterized by a rich ecosystem comprised of lakes, rivers, and expansive grasslands, which supported diverse wildlife and human populations. Research conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey indicates that this fertile environment began to undergo significant transformation around 5,000 years ago, coinciding with alterations in Earth's orbital patterns that precipitated a marked reduction in precipitation levels. Consequently, the region experienced a process of desertification, leading to the arid landscape that is recognized today. This pronounced ecological transition underscores the impact of Earth's natural cycles on environmental conditions and the human civilizations that once thrived in those habitats.


Its called climate change and we don't cause it nor can we stop it. The elite want to make money off it by making us suffer.

Desertification of the Sahara was also helped along by extreme overgrazing by the local people’s livestock. This occurred in more recent times.

All caused by the camel dung used for fuel!

see ! it IS man made climate change !!!!

If only they had made the switch to electric camels everything would have been good and we'd be enjoying margaritas on the Sahara beach watching the whales swim by.

Nevada is a prime example of climate change....12,000 years ago Nevada was largely under the waters of prehistoric Lake Lahontan. It took only about 3000 years for that to dry up and turn Nevada into the desert it is now. Not too many people living in Nevada back then to cause climate change.....

Now all we have left of that huge lake is giant dry lake beds everywhere:

Now things seem to be changing again. The last few years we've had around 30% more precipitation each calendar year compared to the past 100 years (at least in my location).

re: Not too many people living in Nevada back then to cause climate change.....

yeah, gotta blame it on the dinosaurs pooping in the water !!
