"One of the most remarkable conclusions is the verification that today's arid desert was a subtropical savanna with plenty of flora and fauna six thousand years ago."
Reminds me of the story about the lumberjack who said he had spent most of his life working in the Sahara.
Someone said, "You mean the Sahara Desert?
The lumberjack answers, "Yeh, that's what they call it NOW!."
