In a short article two years ago I proposed that the Amazon rain forest could only be a few thousand years old and not 55 million years as was currently believed.

Or my web.... http://www.gks.uk.com/Sahara_Desert_Amazon/
These latest finding are a major step towards supporting my stance. I see future research ultimately confirming this.
I arrived at the above conclusion by researching my theory which proposes that the Sahara & Arabian deserts are of very recent extraterrestrial origin.

I reasoned if the Sahara desert didn’t exist 3-4,000 years ago, it couldn’t have sustained the Amazon rain forest with its nutrient rich dust which blows across the Atlantic.

Thank you for the links.
I notice you're a writer but of course I don't know what your background is. Something occurred to me and as a matter of curiosity I wonder if you've ever looked into the possibility of massive sand blows contributing to the creation of the Sahara? I read a foreign published work within the last day or two that made some compelling arguments re volcanism, massive volcanism, being the culprit responsible for the "green glass" and the abrupt changes to North Africa. Could it be part of the answer?
Geologists have incorrectly assumed that the Earth has had all its water since its beginning. It is demonstrably incorrect yet it remains the primary reason why we do not understand our past.
There was a worldwide flood, and it was recent.
