Unfortunately, the region you pointed out in India is experiencing rapid desertification due to climate change. Rainfall has been reduced by up to 65 percent in some places, and land that used to be suitable for agriculture is no longer arable. Lots of people in villages from that region are starting to suffer, because enough food can't be grown to support their lives :(.
Add the Libyan under water resources and you could turn this into the worlds largest grow zone. Grand Solar Minimum northern latitude crop losses are replaced with N. Africa. Great slide at 7:45
Not sure if you could turn it into a grow zone so easily considering the fact that I seriously doubt sand is nutrient rich enough for plants. That being said with modern gmos, growing techniques and fertilizers, it might just be possible. Still it'd be better to invest all that tech into the parts of Africa we are sure are habitable already seeing as much of the continent's agricultural land has still not been realized to it's full potential due to a lack of wealth, infrastructure and stable governments, unfortunately

"The hour (apocalypse) won't happen until the land of the Arabs go back to being full of meadows and rivers." _Muhammad peace be upon him. More than 14 centuries, Muhammad, peace be upon him, had made two prophecies. First, that the land that the Arabs have known for tens of thousands of years to be a waterless desert was full of greenery and running surface water. Second, that that same unforgiving empty land will again be full of greenery and rivers. NONE at that time and geographical area could have known that. Especially that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was illiterate. NONE could have imagined such a thing let alone to predict it. Muhammad, peace be upon him, was called a magician, crazy and a liar, yet he was never apologetic and went with full force in what he believed in. He relentlessly preached the oneness of God and ridiculed the pagans despite all prosecution. He made all kind of unimaginable claims at his time, despite being laughed at, but it's all coming to be true. With global warming and a new ice age, the desert will again become full of life. But at that time the Quran yet again miraculously describes space as seamless fabric that at the end of times will rip open. Then nothing will help a human being but his good deeds. Or he will be recycled.

A week ago the green sagara came to my mind again and today i found this, thanks for the info!! :)
Well...sifting aside the mythological embellishments, it wasn’t a terrible theory? We kinda expect the same thing to happen (and have evidence of it) through directly human-related activity (like burning up fossil fuels and melting ice packs that bounce back solar radiation, and of course burning down massive forests and overgrazing/overfarming grasslands, and punching holes in the ozone layer which, you know, also deflected radiation)
@@anonymousfellow8879 The "holes in the ozone" are natural by products of lack of sunlight... do you think it's a coincidence they appear at the poles and worsen during the 6 months of the year when that pole is in perpetual winter? Ozone needs UV to be generated in the first place!
The word Sahara means desert in Arabic. So when people say Sahara Desert, it sounds like "desert desert" :) By the way, it is called "The Great Desert" in Arabic.

@@johnperic6860 Semiarid regions which support a mixture of shrubs, grasses and short trees. They're very common in the leeward side of mountainous tropical islands, and in continents at transition areas to warm deserts where external factors discouraging trees aren't as strong. These places get a lot more precipitation (15-30 inches or 375-700 mm per year) than true deserts (less than 10 inches or 250 mm per year), but the high evapotranspiration rates mean that most of the rain that does fall evaporates rather quickly.

@7:20 holyshit. As an Indian I am very grateful that India gets monsoon. We are at the same level as sahara and saudi Arabia. Their area is whole desert while we have a lot of greenery. Thanks Monsoon.
Thank you for mentioning that the Arabian Peninsula used to be fertile as well! Most often, an average person who remmbers anything about history thinks that the "Fertile Cresent" was just between the Tigris and Euphrates. Desertification is an amazingly destructive phenomenon
Even the Bible barely mentions deserts, I think region was even greener 2000 yrs ago. For example north Africa was the bread basket of the Roman empire... can't imagine it now.
You forgot another development that will green the deserts -- the breakdown of the jet streams. The jet streams separate the latitudes of climate. The cold polar region separated from the temperate. The temperate zone separated from the desert latitudes. That is why the Sonoran, Mojave, Sahara, and Arabian deserts are all in those latitudes. When the jet streams break down, storms will take more unpredictable paths. That is what has caused the odd weather in North America, for instance. I expect storms to then randomly move over the Sahara as well.
Hey did you buy the land in Sahara yet, my nephew says his bones will become dust and mixed in the same desert and if after 13000 yrs trees grow one can find him in some form of carbon. Just remeber his name too is Dan... After 13000 yrs hope we can have Dan Carbon :-)
I really love the similarities between cosmologies in different belief systems. I have been wondering where I would see stories that mimic the story of being expelled from the garden of Eden. I've long thought that it could be a story about either the desertification of the Sahara. I hadn't heard the story of Phaethon before and it really sounds similar, like a metaphorical step beyond the same story or a mis-translation. It's basically the same background being from people vaguely near the middle east but still gives some clue to the origins.
This is an incredibly high quality video. Entertaining and informative the entire time, great job Atlas. It's not too often you come across one of these.
Weirdly enough, climate change has already caused the Nile to overflow much more during the rain season that it normally does. Sudan has experienced the most rainfall recorded last year
Very interesting and informative video. A nit - it's Milankovitch, with a k - but it's easy enough to find information on the web on the cycles and their effects, which interact in yet more complex ways, owing to the vast difference in their cycle times providing for a highly variable set of relative influences over time. I find it inspiring that the video above could be from the efforts of an individual - it's very professionally done, fast-moving, and highly informative. It's worth watching more than once, for certain. I will be certain to explore your other videos as a result. Very well done.
The diagram at 3:55 is VERY misleading. Our perihelion is 91.5 million miles from the Sun, while aphelion is 94.5 million miles. That's a 3% difference. I know you clarified that this isn't the cause of winter, but when people see that diagram, they often assume that these distances cause seasons.
Wesley Morgan he clarified, there for it isn’t misleading. He clearly stated therefore, making one KNOW that it’s not the cause of winter. There for it, and he isn’t misleading anyone.
@@Makeitwithmanny I teach high schoolers, and one thing I've learned is that people only remember a small portion of what you tell them. Can you repeat all of the facts in this video? Our brains only save a small portion of what they observe, and it is more likely to be things that confirm our beliefs. So if someone already thinks that the Earth gets drastically closer to the Sun in summer, they will see the graphic (which comes FIRST), confirm their misconception, and likely not pay full attention to the explanation that follows. Derek Muller from Veritasium did his PhD research on learning with videos. I'd recommend checking out his explanations of learning and misconceptions.
The depressions in the Sahara can be made into salt water lakes by digging canals to the Med, Red Sea and Atlantic. The large water surface will evaporate causing rain. The rain will green up parts of the desert. In time the canals can be blocked as rain keeps the levels constant which will eventually turn into fresh water lakes, or lakes far less salty. It will also counter raising seal levels in the world.
Can you do a video on when different civilizations found out that different exotic animals exist For example when did greeks learn od hippos or rhinos or lions and what was their reaction and so on
Alexander the Great's army were the first Greeks to encounter Elephants in India. And most probably the Tigers. Lions were once native to North Africa, Arabia, Anatolia and Persia along with South Asia. Now they are extinct in all of those places with a small populatuon natively living in India. So that's why Greeks probably knew about Lions.
Hippos lived in islands in the Mediterranean at one point, they were much smaller though and this may have been before what we call Greek or Hellenic civilisation existed. Can't remember. But it was due to a phenomenon we call insular dwarfism, where species are smaller on islands
The story of Adam and Eve being thrown out of the Garden of Eden would fit right into the time the Sahara and Saudi Arabia returned to desert in a very short time.
Every 15 years, the Sahara has a huge downpour of rain and very briefly hosts a bloom of grasses and flowers. In addition, it was green as recent as 6000 years ago. Other evidence for this are satellite photos of images of a massive lake in the Sahara, bigger than Lake Victoria, w with a few big rivers nearby.
The issue wasn't that amazon burning which is normal but to a much smaller scale, it was mainly concerning because large swathes of land were being cleared for agriculture like cattle and soybean. These could lead to a permanent loss of rainforest habitats unlike natural fires.
"Instead of being called Sahara Desert it would be called Sahara Savannah" Sahara Savannah would translate to Desert Savannah. It's the same reason why in North Africa they don't call it the Sahara Desert, but rather just The Sahara.
We need to increase co2 level back historical level so the sahara warms up and lowers the pressure so it gets rain again, then we can also melt green land and make it green again.

I read somewhere that there are climat "bands" around the earth: On is centered on the equator where more water condenses than evaporates. Outside this band, north and south, more water evaporates and those areas are dryer. There are at least 2 more bands (2 or 4) in each direction. Much of the U.S. and Europe are in the temperate/ wetter bands which is why they have been green for a long time. The African continent is slowly moving north so the Sahara Desert may have once been in the warm, wet band.
There's a native myth in Peru that tells that in the past the peruvian coast was green, full of all kinds of plants and animals, just like the rainforest located at the east of the andes. However one day the God Kon, whitout any warning, made sure that rains would never fall in this area and that most of its rivers dry out, becoming the arid zone that it is today.
10:24 "Featuring some mountains and even more importantly: some depressions." Welp, I'm fresh out of mountains, but it's good to know I have what's important in common with the Sahara.
It actually seems like adding such a large growing zone would mean a better worldwide situation for humanity. A mostly flat, sunny, and mediterranean/savannah sahara would probably get industrialized like crazy, help transportation north to south in africa, and lead to steppe-like people on horseback in a Russia kind of situation. Add to that the resources under the mountains and you have some interesting changes to our collective geopolitical history. (Eg. Rome probably has reason to move much farther south to take the land around those lakes, plus that is a massive unsecured southern border that would probably make the defense of rome impossible

We all need to stop talking about CO2 pollution as "climate change." CO2 pollution acidifies lakes, rivers, and seas. CO2 pollution is killing fish that we eat, causes toxic algea blooms, kills trees and poisons lakes. Climate change is natural. CO2 pollution by humans is not
Also, I read somewhere that the Sahara desert was submerged in ocean as lot of whale and other salt water aquatic animals fossils were found there. Moreover, those lake were a result of continental drift; colliding with Europe platonic plates( I am not sure about the exact name of the plates)

In 2019, PBS, "Secrets of the Dead" also touched on this with "Egypt's Darkest Hour", the death / collapse of the Old Kingdom.
As I remember, the last ice age was coming to an end about then. But that was so long ago my memory is a little sketchy. It's amazing how much a person can forget in only a few thousand years.

"The hour (apocalypse) won't happen until the land of the Arabs go back to being full of meadows and rivers." _Muhammad peace be upon him. More than 14 centuries, Muhammad, peace be upon him, had made two prophecies. First, that the land that the Arabs have known for tens of thousands of years to be a waterless desert was full of greenery and running surface water. Second, that that same unforgiving empty land will again be full of greenery and rivers. NONE at that time and geographical area could have known that. Especially that Muhammad, peace be upon him, was illiterate. NONE could have imagined such a thing let alone to predict it. Muhammad, peace be upon him, was called a magician, crazy and a liar, yet he was never apologetic and went with full force in what he believed in. He relentlessly preached the oneness of God and ridiculed the pagans despite all prosecution. He made all kind of unimaginable claims at his time, despite being laughed at, but it's all coming to be true. With global warming and a new ice age, the desert will again become full of life. But at that time the Quran yet again miraculously describes space as seamless fabric that at the end of times will rip open. Then nothing will help a human being but his good deeds. Or he will be recycled.

I remember an old teacher in the middle school, she said: A long time ago the sahara desert was green but the roman empire took it down cus they need it do the empire (ships and stuff) and that memory has follow me past the years.
A week ago the green sagara came to my mind again and today i found this, thanks for the info!! :)
So the Greeks thought that the sahara dried up because the Sahara got more solar radiation, but it was acttually because it got less. Lol
More likely a result of sand deposits from catastrophically large tidal waves/flooding from the Younger Dryas Impact Event.
Well...sifting aside the mythological embellishments, it wasn’t a terrible theory? We kinda expect the same thing to happen (and have evidence of it) through directly human-related activity (like burning up fossil fuels and melting ice packs that bounce back solar radiation, and of course burning down massive forests and overgrazing/overfarming grasslands, and punching holes in the ozone layer which, you know, also deflected radiation)
@@anonymousfellow8879 The "holes in the ozone" are natural by products of lack of sunlight... do you think it's a coincidence they appear at the poles and worsen during the 6 months of the year when that pole is in perpetual winter? Ozone needs UV to be generated in the first place!

Can you make a video about the dry forests? I think it's a kind of ecosystem that not many people know about...
Don't know it either but judging by his "seas are deserts" video that even contributed to the "adding iron to the sea to make the carbon pump more effective" video i think he would love to.
Like the Sonora forests in Mexico? Those are gorgeous. If so, I agree whole heartedly!
@@johnperic6860 Semiarid regions which support a mixture of shrubs, grasses and short trees. They're very common in the leeward side of mountainous tropical islands, and in continents at transition areas to warm deserts where external factors discouraging trees aren't as strong. These places get a lot more precipitation (15-30 inches or 375-700 mm per year) than true deserts (less than 10 inches or 250 mm per year), but the high evapotranspiration rates mean that most of the rain that does fall evaporates rather quickly.
Some examples:

Hawaii has multiple dry forest areas, and they hold the bulk of Hawaiian biodiversity www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/tdfpacific/hawaii.html

Mediterranean forests and scrublands are present in the warm temperate latitudes on the western sides of continents. Areas like these include the western USA (especially California), southwest South America (mainly Chile), South Africa, the Maghrib (coastal areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), southern Europe (a nearly continuous belt from Portugal to Turkey), and various pockets in Australia. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Nahkealehtinen_kasvillisuus.png
@7:20 holyshit. As an Indian I am very grateful that India gets monsoon. We are at the same level as sahara and saudi Arabia. Their area is whole desert while we have a lot of greenery. Thanks Monsoon.
Thank you for mentioning that the Arabian Peninsula used to be fertile as well! Most often, an average person who remmbers anything about history thinks that the "Fertile Cresent" was just between the Tigris and Euphrates. Desertification is an amazingly destructive phenomenon
Even the Bible barely mentions deserts, I think region was even greener 2000 yrs ago. For example north Africa was the bread basket of the Roman empire... can't imagine it now.
Some people’s concept of history begins with what they had for breakfast
You have quickly became one of my favorite UA-camrs! Keep these amazing videos rolling! The voice, the research, graphics. All amazing.
You forgot another development that will green the deserts -- the breakdown of the jet streams.
The jet streams separate the latitudes of climate. The cold polar region separated from the temperate. The temperate zone separated from the desert latitudes.
That is why the Sonoran, Mojave, Sahara, and Arabian deserts are all in those latitudes.
When the jet streams break down, storms will take more unpredictable paths.
That is what has caused the odd weather in North America, for instance.
I expect storms to then randomly move over the Sahara as well.
Hey if you are smart you should buy land in Sahara now. And in 13000 years your nephews will be rich... or you could freeze yourself...

I really love the similarities between cosmologies in different belief systems. I have been wondering where I would see stories that mimic the story of being expelled from the garden of Eden. I've long thought that it could be a story about either the desertification of the Sahara. I hadn't heard the story of Phaethon before and it really sounds similar, like a metaphorical step beyond the same story or a mis-translation. It's basically the same background being from people vaguely near the middle east but still gives some clue to the origins.

@@Makeitwithmanny I teach high schoolers, and one thing I've learned is that people only remember a small portion of what you tell them. Can you repeat all of the facts in this video? Our brains only save a small portion of what they observe, and it is more likely to be things that confirm our beliefs. So if someone already thinks that the Earth gets drastically closer to the Sun in summer, they will see the graphic (which comes FIRST), confirm their misconception, and likely not pay full attention to the explanation that follows. Derek Muller from Veritasium did his PhD research on learning with videos. I'd recommend checking out his explanations of learning and misconceptions.
The depressions in the Sahara can be made into salt water lakes by digging canals to the Med, Red Sea and Atlantic. The large water surface will evaporate causing rain. The rain will green up parts of the desert. In time the canals can be blocked as rain keeps the levels constant which will eventually turn into fresh water lakes, or lakes far less salty. It will also counter raising seal levels in the world.
Can you do a video on when different civilizations found out that different exotic animals exist
For example when did greeks learn od hippos or rhinos or lions and what was their reaction and so on
Lions were native to Greece
Alexander the Great's army were the first Greeks to encounter Elephants in India. And most probably the Tigers. Lions were once native to North Africa, Arabia, Anatolia and Persia along with South Asia. Now they are extinct in all of those places with a small populatuon natively living in India. So that's why Greeks probably knew about Lions.
Would be a cool topic
This would be very hard to research with accuracy
Hippos lived in islands in the Mediterranean at one point, they were much smaller though and this may have been before what we call Greek or Hellenic civilisation existed. Can't remember. But it was due to a phenomenon we call insular dwarfism, where species are smaller on islands
The story of Adam and Eve being thrown out of the Garden of Eden would fit right into the time the Sahara and Saudi Arabia returned to desert in a very short time.
It's also what forced people to concentrate around the Nile, Tigres/Euphrates, etc...soon followed by civilizations.
Goes to show how people are either cursed or blessed by the times they live in.

But Syria is not in the Shara.
Every 15 years, the Sahara has a huge downpour of rain and very briefly hosts a bloom of grasses and flowers. In addition, it was green as recent as 6000 years ago. Other evidence for this are satellite photos of images of a massive lake in the Sahara, bigger than Lake Victoria, w with a few big rivers nearby.
13:08 Brazilian here, and the Amazon and Cerrado fires happen every year in the dry season...
People still can worry. Just get some popcorn
The issue wasn't that amazon burning which is normal but to a much smaller scale, it was mainly concerning because large swathes of land were being cleared for agriculture like cattle and soybean. These could lead to a permanent loss of rainforest habitats unlike natural fires.

Terraforming the Sahara desert green again might be a good dry run (hehe) for terraforming Mars.
Maybe we can dig channels in to the desert from the ocean to the depressions flooring them with sea water that can evaporate and rain .
We need to increase co2 level back historical level so the sahara warms up and lowers the pressure so it gets rain again, then we can also melt green land and make it green again.

I read somewhere that there are climat "bands" around the earth: On is centered on the equator where more water condenses than evaporates. Outside this band, north and south, more water evaporates and those areas are dryer. There are at least 2 more bands (2 or 4) in each direction. Much of the U.S. and Europe are in the temperate/ wetter bands which is why they have been green for a long time. The African continent is slowly moving north so the Sahara Desert may have once been in the warm, wet band.
There's a native myth in Peru that tells that in the past the peruvian coast was green, full of all kinds of plants and animals, just like the rainforest located at the east of the andes. However one day the God Kon, whitout any warning, made sure that rains would never fall in this area and that most of its rivers dry out, becoming the arid zone that it is today.

It actually seems like adding such a large growing zone would mean a better worldwide situation for humanity. A mostly flat, sunny, and mediterranean/savannah sahara would probably get industrialized like crazy, help transportation north to south in africa, and lead to steppe-like people on horseback in a Russia kind of situation. Add to that the resources under the mountains and you have some interesting changes to our collective geopolitical history. (Eg. Rome probably has reason to move much farther south to take the land around those lakes, plus that is a massive unsecured southern border that would probably make the defense of rome impossible
