Do you watch PBS? They had an excellent show on Egypt in
February, 2020. About 4,200 BC or so,
Egypt was a plush, grassy area with game and lakes. Crocodiles ate small animals like small
antelope. There was one lake that was
200 feet deep. The Pharaoh, like Pepi
who lived until 92, was the pharaoh when the desert dried up. It led to civil unrest and war.
In about 4,200 BC, the
lakes dried up within 20 years. It took
years to recover until Kramer (North and South) united the Nile in about 2,686
BCE. It took this long after CLIMATE
CHANGE for the Nile to recover and peace and Egyptian control to become
powerful again.
What happened to Egypt
took approximately 2,000 years. Climate
change occurs naturally, over time. Glaziers
increase then recede. Lush forests
disappear over millions of years.
Species disappear.
PBS is a benefit for those
who want to watch how our planet has evolved but if you also read and educate
yourself, you’re be WAY ahead of the general population.
