that’s nothing! I remember when me and my cousin Paul were lumberjacks in the Sahara Forest. He was always the runt of the family and he had problems with his feet so people called him Paul Bunyan.
Anyways, I remember this one weekend when I realized that we weren’t gonna be able to sell our logs from Cyrene up in Brittania, so I dug this ditch thru by a big rock so that I could connect what the Romans would later call the Mediterranean Lake to the Atlantic Ocean. I didn’t realize that my digging would cause that big ole city to sink and whatnot...I just needed a way to float my logs up to Brittania.
That reminds me! I remember this one time when me and Paul took a couple of days off and we went fishin in the Mediterranean Lake. You wouldn’t believe the size of this fish we caught! It was so big, that when we pulled it on shore, and opened it up, we found a guy inside! Can’t remember what his name was now...Johann or Jonas or something like that.
Paul always had this big dumb blue ox but I had a pet camel. His name was Charlie. I remember this one time when Charlie was really thirsty and took a big ole drink from the Nile. Those Egyptians were so mad when the river ran dry on them for four months. I don’t get it...I told them I was sorry...
Do y’all think our clear-cutting of the Sahara Forest had anything to do with making that desert?
funny story.
current archaeology suggests that the sahara desert was well watered savannah until about 5000 years ago when the rains stopped abruptly
