[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] Obvioulsy the Sahara is a barrier. You have to go back the holocene period for it not to be a barrier. Egypt is a different case because it runas along a river [/qb][/QUOTE]"Obviously" what" This is obviously bogus you mean. It was never a barrier to tropical Africans moving back and forth as the archaeological record shows. And the "holocene" era goes back to 12,000 BC- since when was the Sahara a "barrier" at that time? To the contrary people were moving within and out of the Saharan zone even during the later Regionalization phase which featured continuing rains and temporary lakes. And while movement decreased as aridity increased in later phases, the Sahara was never a "barrier" to tropical Africans. You simply don't know what you are talking about. And Egypt is not just a river- part of Egypt too is incorporated by the belt of the Sahara. [/qb][/QUOTE]Consign, "From about 65,000 years ago until about 12,000 years ago the Western Desert was hyper-arid, at least as dry as today and perhaps even drier. Changes began when the summer rains of tropical Africa began to move northward, bringing sufficient moisture for variety of sahelian grasses, tress, and bushes to grow and for a few small animals to exit, mostly hares and small gazelle, but also small carnivores. Even with the summer rains, it was still very dry with an annual rainfall no more than 10-15 cm. There were times of serious droughts, some of which resulted in the abandonment of the desert for extended periods. The earliest (11,000-9300) settlements composed of seasonal camps of cattle-herding and ceramic-using people. These cattle must have been domestic, as they could not have existed in the arid landscape without human assistance. In a manner similar to that of central Africa today, cattle may have functioned as walking larders, which provided milk and blood. Meat may have been reserved for ceremonial occasions. Cattle also provided prestige and may have been major agents in the stratification of nomad society, as they are today in Central Africa. These early people probably came into the desert after the summer rains from farther south or from the Nile Valley in search of pasture; in the fall when the surface water in the playa dried up they had to return to the Nile or to better watered area in the south." http://www.colorado.edu/APS/landscapes/nabta/ I have no idea why that lying Eurocentric asshole keeps irritating the same delusional claims. When it's obviously not true. [/QB][/QUOTE]
