This is very good. It's well presented and I have learned a lot.

Yeah I foget how the whole Egyptian / North African area dried up.....

The Island of Meroe was a part of this evolution.

The rain and water decreased, the rivers silted up and dried up - and lots and lots of places died out.

I talked the creator of this picture, to take it out of the LightBox DRM product lock up - and to release it into the public domain, for non commercial use.... It's so very very special - it's the history of humanity - it's an incredible "just so" moment - when everything is perfect.

This is so fucking old...... In human terms, it's very fucking old. But in galactic terms - it's almost nothing. https://i.pinimg.com/originals..../0d/7c/8e/0d7c8e3774
