In this video essay we take a deep dive into the enduring mystery of the African Humid Period or the Green Sahara. A period about 16,000-5,000 years ago when monsoonal rains brought a lush grassland to the Sahara Desert. We will be exploring the ancient civilizations that once called this land home as well as the biodiversity it once housed. All in an attempt to learn more about the mysterious and fascinating cultures that once existed in the Green Sahara.

The Earth's climate is in a constant state of change based on its position relative to the sun. This relationship means that as the planet's relationship to the sun changes, unexpected series of events can produce remarkably different landmarks. Such a thing happened not too long ago in Africa, where, for a brief time, the Sahara desert reverted back to a lush grassland. Today we're exploring all the various factors that led to the Sahara turning green.

The only thing more Bizarre than a Massive network of Lakes, Rivers and even a DENSE FOREST the size of Texas in the middle of the Sahara Desert - Along with numerous cities, settlements and even Castles blanketing virtually the entire region of the Sahara…Is the realization that these Lost 600 year-old maps literally annotate these geological features Several thousand years prior to their modern Scientific discovery. How could they have possibly known of the existence of the Green Sahara 5,000 years before us?
