Thousands of years ago
The Sahara desert
Wasn’t a desert at all
But a swampy wetlandThen a drought to end all droughts came
Humans accustomed to water
Fish and other sources of food
Had to look harderHumans
Huddled in caves
Watching the world dry outThey had a choice
Get movingOr wait it out

the above is the sciency stuff on sand stablization by clay. you can have a goo dune style fantasy of re-rainforesting the sahara
That is the eternal question – to stay or go? Hope you choose wisely!!
I’d love to see maps and photos of the lost cities and roads of the Sahara. I wonder what caused it to become so arid.
@Roadkill_Spatula - A tilt in the earth…it does it every so many thousands (or millions) of years…
@murisopsis - Umm…sure I always choose wisely ?
