" Dr Ali Abbas a noted expert on the deserts of world stated in interview that all of the world's arid lands were once 'much kinder , gentler environments ' . He suspected that the great Sahara desert and those deserts of the Middle East had all once been lush grasslands watered by yearly monsoon rains .

He cited as evidence for this hypothesis the hippopotamus and crocodile bones excavated from beneath the sands of the Sahara . Requesting assistance from NASA , a satellite was temporarily rerouted over that region and photos from space showed the dried out river beds of what were clearly three large rivers in North Africa comparable to the Nile in significance as well as what appeared to be the dried bed of a fresh water sea --once comparable to the American Great Lakes.

Based on his theory he predicted that there is beneath the Sahara , aquifers similar perhaps in size to America's Ogallala aquifer stretching beneath the Great Plains from Canada to Texas --supplying much of the water used for irrigation and making the plains the wheat belt of the nation . In interview, Dr. Abbas urged the government of Egypt to begin exploring and drilling for water beneath the Sahara as a partial solution to problems of water scarcity .

Dr Abbas believed that about 11,000 to 15, 000 years ago these regions from the Sahara to India were grasslands receiving most of their precipitation from a yearly rainy season of monsoon weather similar to those still received today in parts of India , in the subcontinent and in southeast Asia .

But all of this began changing approximately 11,000 to 15,000 years ago . As the earth spins and revolves around the sun , over long periods of time , that rotation varies . Every 26,000 years or so , the Earth 's own rotation causes what Dr Abbas described as a 'wobble' to occur . That wobble caused by the Earth's own rotation leads periodically to a shift in the angle at which it faces the sun as the earth revolves around it .

It is the angle at which we face the sun which can be more of a determiner of climate than even proximity .
In the Northern hemisphere of the Earth we are actually closer to the sun in winter than we are in summer but , in summer we are tilted towards the suns rays and receive direct heat --which causes the warm to hot weather we experience in summer . In winter even though we are physically closer to the sun than in summer , we are tilted away from the direct rays of the sun --thus the weather is cold .

It can be compared to the difference between being punched directly in the nose by someone whose punch you are leaning into , or receiving a blow from that person that only glances off the side of the jaw because you are leaning away from them .

Dr. Abbas believes that that wobble and subsequent change in the angle at which the earth faces the sun , was what over time , led to climatic changes that caused the monsoon rains --from North Africa , through the Middle East and all the way to India to begin to gradually become less reliable year after year , decade after decade until they finally failed altogether as this lush belt of grassland became increasingly arid and eventually desert , as the region dried out .

The accumulative results for the inhabitants of that grassland belt would have to have been devastating . As the rains failed year after year , decade after decade , century after century , the river networks would eventually dry out . The proto-civilization would be forced by the increasing dryness , into the river deltas and river networks--the only remaining reliable sources of sustenance and water .

In rich river deltas and river networks in warm climates , there is normally an amazing concentration of fish , shellfish , water fowl , wetlands and marsh animals , as well as wild grains , fruits and food plants thriving naturally --waiting to be harvested by humans .

In the Mississippi Delta for instance , members of the Spanish explorer , de Soto 's 1540s military expedition described a Mississippi delta so rich in nesting water fowl , wild life , fish and shell fish , with so many varieties of wild rice , edible plants and fruits that the Choctaw Indians living there did not need to farm for food . They harvested the plentiful bounty of the river . De Soto's expedition described the Choctaw capital city at what was then near the mouth of the Mississippi as a huge city surrounded by thirty smaller cities all filled with awe inspiring mounds , palaces and temples. All built on land reclaimed from the river and protected from flooding by an amazing and intricate network of earthen dams . According to de Soto's expedition , the Choctaw emperor could have a drum sounded and within an hour , 30,000 warriors and their canoes could be assembled . Keep in mind that de Soto had been a member of Pizarro's expedition against the Inca in South America --had seen the Inca temples and palaces --had in all probability seen the palaces and temples of his own Spain --yet was completely astonished at what he saw in the Choctaw capital , surviving members of the expedition stating that nothing they had seen could prepare them for the immense grandeur they witnessed .

This is mentioned in order to piece together the missing elements creating a picture of what early life must have been like among the inhabitants of the lush belt of grasslands and massive river networks of northern pre Saharan Africa and the middle east some 11,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Of course technologically the pre-Saharan , pre -Khemetan proto-civilization of North Africa could not be logically compared to the Choctaw civilization of the Mississippi delta 15,000 years later --or compared in terms of political organization -- but the harvesting of the rivers by the inhabitants of these aquatic networks very possibly could .

It is conceivable that as these early Africans spread not only across Africa , but proliferated out of Africa not only on foot , but more than likely also , in significant part , by means of these water systems and aquatic networks into western Asia into what would later become the Fertile Crescent and to what is now the Persian Gulf . As mentioned earlier there are paintings in caves in the Sahara desert of ancient Blacks in canoes fishing in rivers , hunting birds , near crocodiles and hippos .

This aquatic pre-civilization was the likely means of the Blacks of Africa becoming ancient seafarers , gradually following the rivers and water ways , slowly hugging coastlines , eventually discovering ocean currents that would help carry the ancient Blacks back and forth , vast distances from Africa , across southern Asia to southeast Asia and the Islands of the Pacific .

Over thousands of years as the monsoon rains grew less and less reliable and the region of Northern Africa and the Middle East became increasingly arid , the offspring of those aquatic proto-civilizations retreated to the more reliable water sources and eventually discovered agriculture as a more prolific alternative to harvesting river deltas of wild grains , vegetables and fruits . Discovering irrigation would soon have to follow the discovery of agriculture in an ever-drying region --Irrigation of course requires discovering principles of engineering --which leads to architecture --eventually in brick and stone which are more durable building materials --which promotes discoveries in metallurgy for more durable tool and weapon making --plows , pruning hooks , saws , swords and spears .

The days must be kept track of and movement of stars recorded to stay aware of when annual river flooding can be expected or the ever dwindling rainfalls predicted --calendars , or star records being necessary to agriculture--writing being necessary to the keeping these star records .

Agriculture bringing food surplus --promoting division of labor and specialization as well as commerce as various surpluses are traded for other needed items . Writing being needed again to record the growing number of transactions .

Greater surpluses through agriculture and trade bringing the need for brick and stone walls and fortifications to keep out marauders and thieves seeking an unearned living .

As the region dries out it forces migrations of those unwilling to adapt from the life of the aquatic proto-civilization to the life becoming more and more a sedentary life dependent on agriculture . Basically you have the fundamentals of civilization developing in these drying regions --forced and accelerated perhaps by the pressures of survival as the land to a greater extent , dries out making the old aquatic proto-civilization less and less tenable .

The sun itself opens a wide avenue into this region of the Black world as the grasslands , wetlands , numerous marshes and ribbons of rivers almost all dry out . The old dried river networks eventually become roads and pathways used not only by the sedentary agriculturalists , but from about 6000 BC on by wandering nomadic Asians and Caucasians en mass moving south from the steppes and plains of their Central Eurasian homelands .

The nomads often bring with them of course , seemingly unlimited herds of sturdy horses from the steppes-- making these nomads highly mobile large guerrilla type bands capable of wreaking pure havoc on the sedentary agriculturalists --in particular by attacking and destroying open fields of grain , the system of irrigation canals necessary in a drying climate for growing that grain , and or attacking the commercial trade routes and the commerce of the civilization itself --until the sedentary agriculturalists' economy collapses , or their walled cities are breached , or to avoid slaughter , rape , pillage and enslavement , they try to make peace by amalgamating with the nomads --submitting to extortion by paying them with grain or commercial goods for protection from other nomads like them , or the sedentary agriculturalists interbreed with the nomads and teach them the skills and secrets of civilization --which of course as soon as they think they have sufficiently learned those skills , the nomads ruthlessly slaughter , rape , pillage and enslave their benefactors .
