Many thousands of years ago life flourished in the Mongolian Gobi desert...
Archaeologists found many traces of old camps... located on the shores of lakes - now dried. Based on the findings, researchers concluded that thousands of years ago richness of species of animals lived in the study area, benefiting the ancient inhabitants of the desert.
Archaeologists discovered mainly stone tools and the waste associated with their production...
The oldest finds are represented by a massive stone tools made by the Middle Palaeolithic communities (200 thousand - 40 thousand years ago). Archaeologists have also discovered smaller stone products from later periods, as well as millstones, stone grinders and fragments of pottery from the Neolithic.
One of the most interesting discoveries, according to Prof. Szykulski, is a collection of eleven items made of jasper. Items were found on a narrow ledge, located just below one of the mountain peaks. According to the researchers, because of its location, this place was the perfect vintage point from which one could observe most of the valley, as well the steppe in the distance. The form of tools and processing technology indicate that the find dates back approx. 40 thousand years...
Archaeologists also discovered three large tombs covered with stone pavement, probably from the Iron Age.eology of the University of Wroc?aw, together with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, the Mongolian Educational University and the Archaeological Museum in Gdaƒsk.
The study focused on the area of the vast valley located between the southern end of the Gobi Altai Alts Bogdyn Nuruu and its southern foothills known as Barrun Saha Nuruu.

Stone Age camp sites found in the Gobi desert

Now desert, then lakes. The climate has been changing ever since there was an Earth.
In the great Sahara Forest, too, thousands of years ago.
But then Chuck Norris came along and lit a fart.
I think this is old info.....very old...
Lakes that dried up millennia ago.
Because the ancient Mongolians used hair spray cans, apparently.

Bush’s fault...
It would also would be interesting as compared and contrasted to modern theories of global warming (which I think are nonsense). For example what would happen if the desolation of the Gobi could be linked to a decrease in atmospheric CO2? We might discover that a CO2 concentration of 1,000 ppb is much more conducive to life on Earth and in that case, burn away!
White Masters in the deserts of China?

#5 Paul Bunyan use to chop down trees in the Sahara forest.
With one swing of his double-bladed axe he could chop down 25 trees.
Paul and Babe went for a walk in Minnesota. Everywhere they stepped they left their footprints. The footprints filled with water making Minnesota the Land of a Ten Thousand Lakes.
True story.
“In the great Sahara Forest, too, thousands of years ago.”
But then around 400BC the Roman Empire started driving SUV’s and global warming ruined it for all of us!!!!
I forgot I had moved to August 2013 and responded to a long-dead thread.
YOU SEE!!! YOU SEE!!! This proves catastrauphic climate disruption is happening. WE’RE ALL DOOMED!!!!
