The Sahara Desert: From Green to Gold

The Sahara Desert, the world’s largest hot desert, wasn’t always a sea of sand. 🌴 Around 6,000–8,000 years ago, it was a lush paradise filled with grasslands, lakes, and even ancient civilizations. This phenomenon, known as the African Humid Period, occurred due to changes in the Earth’s orbit, which brought more rain to the region. Imagine the vast desert teeming with life! Today, remnants of this green era are found in ancient cave paintings and fossils. Fascinating, right? For more jaw-dropping geography facts, like, share, and subscribe to our channel!
