    All jokes aside, I have a pet theory that the desert belt highlighted in this picture is manmade: agricultural stagnation leading to desertification, wiping out some very ancient human civilization which left no other tracespic.twitter.com/5JiQ8PYBYP

        It's not a very serious pet theory but it ties into my other pet theory that human civilization has gone thru several cycles of firing up to full industrial capacity and decaying to primitive hunting/gathering over the course of tens of thousands of years

        Would Egypt have been able to have been such a prominent ancient superpower in a green North Africa? 🤔

        It would have attracted a lot more foreign raiders to the Nile and made it unstable imo. Maybe even attracting Bantu invasion.

        bantu didn't exist at the time of the old dynasty (depending on your exact meaning, maybe they were around by the tail end of new dynasty)

        I think two different things happened on each side of the persian gulf here. They weren't touching during pangaea afaik.

        Oh, I don't support the mainstream scientific view of that. I think God would prefer humans to live in an easily navigated enviroment

        since as things are now, people in history were goaded into creating increasingly extreme forms of transportation.

        I heard the aboriginal Australians created their desert after discovering fire to rid themselves of the giant terrifying animals around them

        Most of the circled area isn’t desert. Everything Iran north mountains and steppe. The rest, look the Hadley cell. At ± 30 degrees latitude, the air has dumped all its moisture in the equator and is v dry. This is what causes the American Southwest, Sahara, Australia, Arabia, etc

        Aren’t the deserts of the American Southwest at roughly the same latitudes?

        humans may have made the margins worse; but those locations are in naturally arid spots due to circulation

        nah, climate change (ice ages, etc) is a sufficient explanation. big ocean currents that function as global heat pumps can change, etc. there's evidence of a sarahan civ that existed before it was desert, ice-age driven climate change could've done them in, easily.
