Good news for any 10,000-year-old hunter-gatherers! It’s back, baby!
Egypt bout to make a comeback!
Fun fact, it never left. It’s been one of the most populous areas all along, and it’s still the third most populous country in Africa (after Nigeria and Ethiopia). It’s just that it’s not the only happening place anymore.
and finally, proof that the Sahara is not a desert. just like when it snows outside it’s proof that global warming is a hoax, rainfall proves that deserts are a hoax. the Sahara is a rainforest, wake up sheeple.
we’ll see how rare is the new “rare” event. Next thing you know Sahara is a well-known rainforest and amazon is the well-known desert.
During the ice age, the Sahara was savanna, and it’s though to be possible it could go back due to climate change.
That would be a nice silver lining on a mostly very bad mistake, I guess.
It will again in the future, but not because of climate change hopefully. It’s originally caused by the earth’s axial tilt, and which way is pointing towards the sun during the Earth’s parihelion and aphelion.
I’m not making this up. It wasn’t caused by anthropogenic climate change before, obviously, but more than one thing can shift rains.
Isn’t there no soil there now?
Sand is a kind of soil. Actually, besides possibly salinity, deserts tend to be pretty fertile once you add water, because evaporation concentrates things.
Those photos are gorgeous.
I wonder if this is due to gobal climate change or local efforts towards sustainable farming and forestry to reclaim areas the Sahara has encroached on in recent years. Could be both.
Credit where due - this is a rare example of an article that contains pictures of the fantastical thing noted in the headline. Was this written by a journalism student or something?
Anyone else get irrationally angry when someone calls it the Sahara dessert? No, just me?
It bothers me because “Sahara” is Arabic for desert, so the headline to this article is calling it the desert desert, and apparently, that’s a pet peeve of mine.
No, but I get irrationally angry when someone calls a desert dessert.
I’d fix it, but I am kind of enjoying this newfound power to affect your emotional state.
Chai tea
In my dialect in Norwegian, the word for another and tea is the same, so a direct translation one can use (and I have) when ordering a second chai tea is “Can I have tea tea tea?”.
So what’s that like in your Norwegian dialect?
Kan eg få ein te te te? Can I have another chai tea?
Maki roll
La Brea Tar pits, Milky Way Galaxy, Lake Tahoe, El Camino Way.
I was under the impression that Tahoe translates to “big water” which is funny.
But “Tar pit Tar pit”, “Way Way” and “Desert Desert” are indeed infuriating.
You forgot bo staff to refer to the quarterstaff that Donatello uses
Are there fennec foxes in the Sahara desert? Please advise while I enjoy my naan bread
Meh, not everyone speaks Arabic and there are probably people who don’t know that the Sahara is a desert.
Minor redundancies are a small price to share information with a wider audience.
It’s describing the type of desert by specifying its name. Even in situations where it’s not rhe proper name (ie. chai tea), there are equivalent English formations (ie. “tea tea” to distinguish “traditional” tea from other varieties).
Woah. It’s like a giant oasis! I feel like I’d want to swim in it! 😃
I hope they had swales ready to capture it
