When the Sahara Was Green

The video explores the history of the Sahara Desert, which was once a lush, green region with abundant water bodies and diverse ecosystems. Ancient rock art and modern scientific evidence reveal that the Sahara experienced a humid period due to planetary changes, leading to a thriving environment. This period ended as the climate shifted, turning the Sahara back into a desert. The video discusses the implications of these changes for understanding future climate shifts and the potential for the Sahara to become green again.
