Sahara Desert Was Once Lush and Populated

At the end of the last Ice Age, the Sahara Desert was just as dry and uninviting as it is today. But sandwiched between two periods of extreme dryness were a few millennia of plentiful rainfall and lush vegetation.
During these few thousand years, prehistoric humans left the congested Nile Valley and established settlements around rain pools, green valleys, and rivers.
The ancient climate shift and its effects are detailed in the July 21 issue of the journal Science.

[In the 1930s the 'Sleeping Prophet' Edgar Cayce told of the past fertility of the Sahara ... "The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile." (Reading #364-13)]
