Gurun Sahara: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

Kondisi alam menjadikan tidak ada peninggalan arkeologis yang bertahan di Sahara selain prasasti. Prasasti yang ditemukan pada 2007 mengindikasikan bahwa Sahara pernah menjadi [[jalur perdagangan]] di Afrika.{{Sfn|Twigger|2014|p=28, 29|ps=, "This wet phase – from 12,500 until 4000 BC – meant people lived in the desert in preference to living beside the river (the desert was still much more hospitable, much more like savannah as late as 2450 BC duiring the Fifth Dynasty of ancient Egypt). (…). The early Nile dwellers have left behind no bones, no hearths – the desert has destroyed all that."}}{{Sfn|Twigger|2014|p=66|ps=, "In 2007 Mark Borda and Mahmoud Marais discovered Egyptian hieroglyphics deep in the Sahara – deeper than any other known inscriptions have been found. (…) This suggests a quite normal trade route independent of the Nile that stretched up deep into central Africa, the source perhaps of the aromatic woods used as incense at that time."}}
