Sahara: The Largest Desert On Earth | Journeys To The Ends Of The Earth | Real History

- Опубліковано 13 вер 2022
- The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth ... it takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear”. David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

Desert to mean no water; hence, sahara is the largest.
@@belomark3680ice / snow isn't water so Antarctica is the largest desert. Google search largest desert and this comes up 1. Antarctic Polar Desert. Antarctica is the largest continent, as well as the largest desert in the world. This frigid wasteland dominates the South Pole with a massive surface area of 5.5 million square miles ( 14.2 million square kilometers)
I know one thing fur sure: if I ever visit a desert I will drive a Toyota. In all documentaries about deserts, that brand is always present. Excellent documentary!
My Tacoma has 325,000 miles and runs excellent
Its like those Nokia 3310, durable AF.
Some people even said its easy to repair and parts easily available from third party or source company, but I dont know that its true or not cause I have no knowledge in mechanical vehicle.
Scotty Kilmer swears by Toyota. He says they are the best built cars in the country.
Also let's not forget it depends on the person who owns it, oh wait secondhand cars which are overused are sold and still used as military vehicles where they put machine guns on it. And its mostly Toyota's pick-up 🛻
@@reevus2558 In 1987 Libya decided to invade the neighboring country of Chad. The Chadian Army was poorly equipped with only light trucks. However these trucks had better maneuverability and driver farther in worse terrain the Libyan tanks & APCs. So the Chadians gave the Libyans a good sound thrashing and the whole thing was called the Toyota War. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War
The reaction of the guides to skiing down the dune was priceless.
Yea I like that segment, he worked for that decent
They might even make up a song about his feat
Whitest thing he could've done lol
All my life I hsve been fascinated by Nomadic people, throughout the world. Their fierce Independence, Loyalty, Pride. Each Culture, has roots in Warrior traditions. You cannot help but respect their traditions! It is a hard life, but the rewards are worth it! This is a Wonderfull Video!
yeah they are very cool, I want one of those swords!
Durn Man...what rewards? You have SAND in your food, water, bed...and even in your mouth if you sleep with it open!!!
@@mikebacherl2490 You are a not even getting where I am coming from! We lived a life of poverty, but We never made life more difficult, than what it already was! To this day when I sit down to eat. I give Thanks! This past Saturday my Blood Pressure went town to 54, yet I gave Thanks! The difference between You, and Me, is simply this! I will always give Thanks, where you don't! Live, and Let Live!
absolutely amazing
as the guide said "freedom first"
no boundaries and no borders.
love it really
I love this documentary so much😊
And proud the citizens who preserve their culture even in harsh climate
@paras brother well said, but let’s wish that there is no oil found in that precious land, so it can be stayed as it is till the eternity,
@@sufwannawab yes but I think due to globalisation and modernization their own offspring are not interested to preserve their precious culture .
But they also unaware about life of city which is full of stress and tension.
Unbelievable, I just started watching for a minute or two but ended up watching almost without blinking the whole in no time
The camera work was fantastic, huge props to the team.
Halfway into the documentary and I can say it's one of the best documentaries made
How was the other half?
Gets better
Yes toyota is the beast in rough terrain👍
It was one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. No words! Unbelievable people. 👏
This is by far the best ever well produced documentary ever..Period
neh its more like adventure holiday diary than a documentary. but i agree its absolute briliant
'Day after day, night after night' he travels on....in the same set of crisp clean pants and shirt....with 3 4WD vehicles following....with creature comforts. 😜😂
😂😂😂
Yeah it's doubtable
Poor guy, the trouble he has to go through. Nobody knows his sorrow!!!❤😂
And not a Travel Lodge or Motel in site.🤣
@@ranjitverdi5702 poor guy!! Ge must have suffered a lot!!🤭😇😅🤣

Poor camels 😥 the load they carry made me feel sick.

Ten largest deserts in the world.
Most of us typically think of deserts as sand and bare rock, so the cold places don't so much register as *deserts*, as in dryness- even cold.
Now for top ten desserts.
@@louielouie6259 desserts? What do desserts have to do with deserts?
@@frankdunbar4140
Don't be a Karen, Frank.
Wrong all wrong the world's greatest desert is surely my ex-wifes' heart...empty......
Fantastic, thank you for such wonderful documentary. I always have a deep curiosity about the Tuaregs.
Living in a country neighboring Niger Republic, I am really fascinated by your documentary. We call the touaregs Buzaye and we do business with them before. Now things have changed a little bit.
What a life! I too a few years before that I crossed the Sahara from Sudan to Libya and then to Europe,and it was my best and worst memories of my life! Sahara is magnificent but the same time deadly!!
Hello,which means of transport did you use?
@@janewangui3984 It was a Toyota pickups and we were almost 30 people and we lost one of our friends and buried him there in the desert,it was really hard and it's a long story to write it here🤗
@@janewangui3984The trafficker's truck?
When he grabbed the salt 3:10 of the video. The man is like "and now, are you buying that salt" 😂😂😂😂
It pissed me off that he used his bare hands on their salt
He asked people before he films guaranteed before he does things to anger them or has bills at the ready
Such a marvelous story of an amazing group of people and animals! Thank you!
نحن لسنا مجموعة من الناس!! ..نحن قبائل نعيش في البراري كسائر الأمم..
We are not just a group of people
We are Tribes touareg
We live in Sahara like any other Nation
@@westwild75 Thank you for helping me understand you better. With utmost respect to Tribes Touareg.
Amazing! One of the best sights I have seen in this documentary in my long years.
Good luck, young man, and God be with you.
This Documentary touches my heart the way of living local life in such dry Area with honour and tradition is so especial thanks to Real History team for the the Dacumentory 🙏
This is first English film that I ever watch complete in one time.
and it is a wonderful film.
I'm African, but I knew nothing about the Tuareg until I watched this documentary. I envy the narrator
Truly amazing and incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much for taking me on this adventure of crossing the Saharan desert in the country of Niger. I loved watching you sand ski down the high mound and across the sand. Wow! Ancient customs and kind people taking you into their country and showing you the way and you bring this this adventure into our lives as a gift. You are so kind and respectful. Their world is so remote from the genocide of the Palestinians. I hope they find out what the Israelis are doing and pray it ends now and Israel exists no longer because they have been forced to leave and return to Europe.
absolutely amazing
as the guide said "freedom first"
no boundaries and no borders.
love it really ❤
Really! Do you have door to your house/apartment? If so then you’re a hypocrite
You do realize that they don't mean it, right?
Fantastic documentary. Thank you so much for your fine effort.

"They don't regard borders"
"Freedom first"
The true mentality of the Tuareg
Warriors of the dessert.
I cant believe you walked up that sand dune you skied down. You made it look easy
❤ the desert is the beach for people who are afraid of water❤
Well done, Mate! Thank you for a remarkable journey,, indeed.

Wowwwww!!! What a beautiful look of sun rise and sun set in Sahara desert .
Enjoyed this, well done, the guy is pretty cool, sking down dunes and stuff 👍
Great Video !!!
Skiing down the sand dune is something I would do. Skiing across the desert attached by a rope to a truck, no way! That's crazy! If he slipped or tripped on a rock he could break his legs!
This is quite fascinating. Thanks
Allah hu Akbar ❤❤❤❤.

Amazing!! just spellbound after watching this!!!
If you could record and publish those songs (starting at 18:46) I believe it would win a Grammy. At the least, I, and many others would buy it.
Bro, even I'm in search of that song . Lemme know if you find it .....
