[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: You're just making stuff up.

[b]AT[/b] 5,300 BC it's still green. BETWEEN the periods of 5,300 to 3,500 it looked like this. Around 3,500 to 3,000 BC is the window people usually give for the modern Sahara. At 6k BC there was a temporary arid phase throughout Africa that lasted on average 800-1000 years. Things improved and then collapsed near 3k BC. Rainfall regimes of the Green Sahara Jessica E. Tierney1,*, Francesco S. R. Pausata2 and Peter B. deMenocal3 [QUOTE]"During the “Green Sahara” period (11,000 to 5000 years before the present), the Sahara desert received high amounts of rainfall, supporting diverse vegetation, permanent lakes, and human populations. Our knowledge of rainfall rates and the spatiotemporal extent of wet conditions has suffered from a lack of continuous sedimentary records. We present a quantitative reconstruction of western Saharan precipitation derived from leaf wax isotopes in marine sediments. Our data indicate that the Green Sahara extended to 31°N and likely ended abruptly.[b]We find evidence for a prolonged “pause” in Green Sahara conditions 8000 years ago,[/b] coincident with [b]a temporary abandonment[/b] of occupational sites by Neolithic humans. The rainfall rates inferred from our data are best explained by strong vegetation and dust feedbacks; without these mechanisms, climate models systematically fail to reproduce the Green Sahara. This study suggests that accurate simulations of future climate change in the Sahara and Sahel will require improvements in our ability to simulate vegetation and dust feedbacks." [/QUOTE] http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/1/e1601503.full [/QUOTE][IMG]https://anonimag.es/i/8kyatemporarydryeventa13d8.png[/IMG] The image could be an oversimplification for that [b]entire[/b] period, but probably about accurate if we're talking about how Egypt would've looked by 3000 BC. From 6k BC to 5k BC there was [b]temporary[/b] drying. Where it dried was not uniform either. Certain latitudes faced drying periods, others didn't, and they weren't uniform in how long these dry spells went on for. Latitudes 26 and 30 for example didn't have the brief drying event 8kya, but some of the more southernly areas did. A [b]full[/b] and continuous effect of the Sahara drying to levels we see today didn't happen until thousands of years later. Even places like South Sudan and Ethiopia were experiencing dry periods that spanned from 800-1000 years. This ironically would explain why so many researchers insisted some populations towards the south moved north to make AE. [QUOTE] Observe most settlement movement is Egyptians moving west (not that far in km) into the desert from the Nile valley and vice-versa back east [i]in Egypt[/i]; there was not some sort of mass exodus into Sub-Saharan Africa and the fewer more distant settlements south of Egypt, such as northern Sudan are still in the Sahara if you check the latitude and desert boundary: [/QUOTE][IMG]https://anonimag.es/i/downwardmigration5e86b.png[/IMG] Technically this is irrelevant. The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate SSA people had no capability of contact with Egypt for a long period of time. That they adapted in isolation long enough by the time dynastic AE arived to be "non African." Reviewing what genetic data we have and the climate history of Africa, this doesn't seem like what happened at all. [QUOTE]to prove there was a geological barrier. [IMG]http://saharafun.weebly.com/uploads/4/5/0/0/45008881/9804989_orig.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]There was no geological barrier. Egypt had the Nile, the temporary arid phase affected both the modern north and south, and the Sahara hadn't gone fully dry until around 3000 B.C. By that time the cultures that formed dynastic Egypt if not AE itself were already there. Ecological pressures were also affecting the south, and it was likely this event that made the people of the desert responded by moving north. [/QB][/QUOTE]
