The Forgotten Treasure Of The Sahara Desert by alberson(f): 1:50am On Nov 22, 2015 |
The Sahara wasn’t always a desert — 7,000 years
ago it was a savannah where grasslands and animals
thrived. Eventually the weather changed; the rain
slowed, then stopped, and the desert took over.
When Michal Huniewicz was getting ready to visit
Mauritania, he found an old book on West Africa,
and within the pages he found something that
caught his eye: The Forgotten Libraries of the
Sahara, part of a town, Chinguetti, that was a 17th-
century hub.
“What could be more romantic?” asked Huniewicz.
When Michael arrived, he found what felt like a
ghost town, though 4,000 people live there, and
there are librarians who will still show you the old
books housed in the libraries.
See these ancient and forgotten treasures that lie in
the middle of the African Sahara and the unique
history they reveal. |
