- Endless sandy landscapes, the scorching sun and complete absence of people around… This is how one of the most famous deserts of the world - the Sahara - is drawn in the imagination. It seems that the golden dunes have always been here, but this is not so. When you look at the Sahara, its endless sands and silent dunes, you want to know what lies under millions of tons of sand. In this issue, I propose to take a trip to the past and find out: - whether this part of the African continent has always been an arid and lifeless desert. We will find out what is hidden under the sands of the Sahara - and also reveal incredible facts about this mysterious place.

Robo voices have come a long way, but they're still obviously robotic and unappealing.
Couldn't agree more... however I believe there are many people that have become numb to this.
I am not, I always unsub. Bots like it though. NPCs like it, they love hell.
Nice and educational
We can all agree that he has never disappointed us with this content, very, very cool, I also shoot such videos about interesting mysterious facts come see😂
They lack intonation, and I hate them passionately. Enough to to never subscribe and block them
I hate the click-bites promising to show you something hidden “under” which are showing in fact what a drone filmed on the surface
As a professional announcer for 50 years, a POX on digitized narration!!
It has grown better, but I am in full agreement with you. I miss a lot of information by terminating videos once the digitized voice appears.
Absolutely fascinating and a landscape of pure beauty

Love that channel
Yes, good channel.
My husband helped build GAMRA. In the early 30's German scientists discovered a huge water reservoir under Lybyia/Saudi Arabia. At that time no one had the capabilities to pump the water to the surface. In the early 90's this was accomplished. GAMRA Great Man Made River.
I have always been interested in how the earth was back in time. Thank you for the geographic information
Back in time GOP was decent.
I don’t see how they keep roads clear whatsoever because massive sand storms are unlike anything you could imagine~ they bury EVERYTHING.
Fascinating. I love this program. The Desert never stops amazing me.😁😁😁
Amazing! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very informative 👏
Very informative. Direct to the point. Excellent!
Nice job. Lots of interesting information
Interesting facts. Thanks for the geographical details.
I love listening to this before I fall asleep. Gives me such vivid dreams.
Great presentation!! It was very informative.. Thanks for sharing this!
Greetings dear please how that come about
How are you doing
Cool video, great music!
sand looks amazing great taking content
Thank you for best interpretation on this subject...the best on the web..🙂😑🙂
Incredible facts!
Fascinating thank you
Love the music used! Great retrospect
Very good information given I liked your presentation.
Cool vid !!!
Thank you ever so. Excellent!
I think that history is currently being reassessed. There is overwhelming evidence that much of the Sahara was hit by the brunt of a mega tsunami at the end of the younger dryas period. This could have been as little as 11700 years ago. Scientist have attributed this to massive meteor impacts in Greenland and North America. Considering the severity of the mega tsunami/mega tsunamis and the fact that much of the western Sahara was buried under sand at the time, It's very likely that the historical theories of the history of the Sahara are vastly inaccurate.
nice and interesting video.congratulations.
Good stuff, thanks.
Amazing story
Very much informative
Very nice information. KHB Lahore
Interesting place.
While seving in the Marine Corps in the late 70s my squadron were on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean sea. One morning it looked like there had been a snow storm on the ship. Turns out it was from a sandstorm off the Sahara desert. The sand was so white it looked like snow. Took two days to wash down the ship and all our jets.
Thank you for your service. That’s crazy. That sand can’t go well with jet engines.

Very Good 👍 👏 👌 😀 ☺️ 🙌 👍
Nice shot of Joshua Tree, bro 🤙🏻
Excellent
I find it hard to believe it's advancing at such a rate in the south !
A great one
very interesting 👍🏻👍🏻
I did not know all that, awesome video thank you so much!!! Desert sounds so romantic but I know its not, but feels romantic because of the beautiful videos pic and movies.
Nice to see pictures of some flora Joshua Tree, CA as examples of that of the Sahara.
Of course, The Sahara and The Sands are 300 miles due North in Las Vegas, NV.
Exactly, along with the AI voice over all in all I think this video is pretty rubbish! After I saw that I stopped watching it!
You saw that too ?
It snows every year in the Mojave .
These deserts are not the same .
I thought I was going to learn something here .
This video reinforced don't believe everything you see on the net .
Disappointing
@@davidcoker7989 At 8:30 "was established by the one thousand, nine hundred and ninety-sixth year." Even when the information being presented is interesting, that voice somehow makes it bland and boring.
Interesting exposé on the Sahara. Little information about what is hidden under the sand ...
The fallen watchers...
Exactement, what happened to the alluring title promising us wonders?
At 9:23, they show how the Sahara looked 8,000 years ago, a nice forested land, complete with village. Looks like people had some pretty modern looking homes back then!
Maps 300 years old don't show the Sahara, but instead of forests and massive cities and rivers.. look it up
@@djkramerd4582 I could imagine that they destroyed it in some kind of way…
Humans have a definite impact on the land
@@djkramerd4582 Yeah, but archeology, geology and other sciences investigating soil history tell us those maps are bull, while they tell us the green sahara much earlier was real.
Maps, like books, are first and formemost human-made artefacts. You only believe what story they tell if and when other more solid proof underlines them.
We dont believe large parts of the bible or the Gilgamesh epos nowadays, and for good reasons. Our forebears where storytellers just like we are.
@@djkramerd4582 - those maps also had giants on them
The stone circle is prehistoric.
For it to be historic there must be a written or at the least oral history of it.
If no history remains from the time it is prehistoric.
There are massive ruins underneath all of that sand. Much needs to be discovered.
Greetings from Miami this is really horrible how did that happen.
Very interesting I would like to see some more of the shows thank you

fascinating
Very nice educational documentary with fabulous video. I'm curious what AI voice you used? Better than most I hear and some I have used in the past.
well done...
Next on your list must be the Kalahari desert
As young boy trained as forest technician at the time , I was always fascinated about sand dunes… it’s more than 30 yrs now since I pursued more knowledge in engineering that I came to understand that what’s told to be a threat to human life’s is in fact a hidden germ yawning for human intuition to understand. it’s has also gave me a sense to decipher the secret of international development in Africa and hence the bias of afforestation idea to decoy human perception … DUNES are to my mind ONE of the most interesting and intriguing phenomena that nature presents .. it has a huge multi-dimensional perspective of values … it’s cooking factory of hydrocarbons and ready reservoir for water supply specially along coastal shores.. it’s also a great lab for material sciences to be explored and it’s great filtering material for desalination of sea water as well …😢
Thank you
Lay off the drugs….
Geez. Disjointed speech just like the narrator. Can anyone speak better English here?
It’s well known, as I understand it, that Sahara sand cannot be used for construction. It’s too fine.
I was there as a tourist. It was an awesome experience. But because the sand is so fine, like dust, it gets into everything. You’d imagine that the coarse thread of a water bottle cap would be immune, but it was jammed up by a tiny bit of sand.
Dawn in the Sahara is magical.
I was the project economist for The Great Man Made River project ~ 1981-1982. The most interesting work I have ever done. Yes, the sand of the Sahara is much too fine to be used in concrete so we had to send out geologists to find suitable rock for the construction of the pipe used, 4 meter inside Diameter, steel reinforced concrete.
Everything for the construction had to be imported as there was no infrastructure available in Libya to support it and a single port, Brega, was to be dedicated to this project. We did simulations to show this port was not adequate for the time table planned.
@@thomasallan8113 Thank you for those insights.
It is because water flowed above it before its was all below water and before that it was green
@@kappa633 Just read an article where scientists are discovering that underground aquifers can be replenished much faster than previously thought
@@dougjones4594 Sounds amazing.
Nice vid you should dig down in the sand and find some nice tombs
Can't cost much to have a real person to do the narration.
I went to the comments after hearing the fake voice to see if anyone else had something to say! I can't watch any video when they can't have a real person talking!
@@averteddisasterbarely2339 yeah I felt the same way. Mine is the fact this topics already been done by better CZcamsrs like bright insight. I was looking for something interesting to listen to this came up an autoplay yeah nothing more annoying and listen to a preprogrammed voice.
@@averteddisasterbarely2339 it just occurred to me .. maybe it is all computer generated by gpt3
If anything at all…the maker must have a very bad voice bless him
This could be excellent if it had a human narrating it.
Interesting video, but the narration had some glaring errors (either the narrator read it without proofreading the copy, or AI was used and it didn't notice the errors). I think the videos could be better with some better voice acting / copy editing, but informative nonetheless! Thanks!
The Sahara has cycled several times in the past going from green and wet to present day desert. The Mediterranean Sea has also emptied and filled although on a less frequent cycle.

Notice it is just lightly mentioned. Even though it is clearly with modern evidence the true reason.
so the global sea level dropped by what. 1000 meters.
how tf is the medeterranean going to drain. if we drained it it would be thousands of meters below sea level.
@@Sgt.chickens Drained was an inappropriate word. I meant dried up and yes apparently it did happen.
@@Sgt.chickensmovement in the earths plates caused the Gibraltar gap to close. And as the fresh water inflows is less than the evaporation, it did eventually dry out to a lot lower. Anther fact , in the 1930s there was a genuine plan proposed to artificially replicate this event, to increase the amount of farm land. This would have caused significant environmental damage to the local climate.
an old hobo knocked on a ladies door and said, "I am hungry. Do you have any work I can do in exchange for food." Yes, that large pile of wood needs to be cut and split for firewood. Not much later he knocks and said "its done". The lady looks and yes, its cut, split and neatly stacked. "How did you learn to work so fast?" I worked in the Sahara forest. "Do you mean the Sahara Desert?" It is now
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Terrific video. We do need to recruit the Sahara to rehydration and the kind of afforestation that China has created on the Loess Plateau. If we wish to offset the dissolving meltwater from polar glaciers so sea level is kept at today's level, we will have to find ways to sequester 100s of trillions of cubic meters of water. Trapping floodwater in constructed wetlands would be the simplest way. Support Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 #6, #12 and #15.
There is a lot of water under that dessert. I learned that in world history in high school.
I would have thought the glass in the desert could be due to lightning strikes rather than meteorites from space.
Dust from the Sahara reach as far as Texas. A prevailing winds, and ocean currents, carry the dust across the ocean, reaching Cuba, nearby islands, into the Gulf of Mexico, Texas and surrounding areas.
There are days the dust from the Sahara cover the sky of Puerto Rico turning it gray and in spite of covering completely the sun it makes the air disgustingly hotter, even the wind is hot, when the sun has the chance to get through the gray curtain then the air turns fresher but the sun rays burn the skin faster and easier.
It reach as far as the Brasilian rainforest.
Right now its giving us hell in the Caribbean

@@susanaobeid6770 Ok...we were discussing the Sahara dust...its not in a location it moves across the Pacific ocean from Africa all the way to the Caribbean and across the US
Great Men Mr: sulthan Gaddafi
Very informative & very happy not to see an egocentric selfie video!!
You will find the 'ancient' glass was the remnants of a decent cme or a small nova from the sun and it happened a lot sooner than you think. 😎🖖
Its the tilt cycle that made the trade winds change and stop blowing moisture over the Sahara. If that is true it is interesting to note that Florida probably did not have nearly as many Hurricains prior to 8k years ago. As far as the Mediterranean emptying.... the last ice age that ended abruptly 12k years ago raised worlds oceans 60 feet. So the Med was there it was just a lot smaller. When an asteroid hit in Iceland it literaly melted 1000 foot sheets of ice in North American, this event probably had a lot of long term affects on weather world wide.
Younger dryas impact?
The sea level change wasnt abrupt. It's been about 8 inches a century for thousands of years. We're still in a warming phase.
@@scottheaton8469 that is not true, what do you think made the columbia river valleyit was not a gradual release, we even know where the asteroid that hit that caused the sudden melt. it is an obvious geological fact that the ice bridge above Idaho broke all of a sudden and flooded major portions of the west, but I do not talk to morons so welcome to mute
@@jacksonjackson3871 let me get this straight. An asteroid ended the last ice age abruptly by breaking an ice dam and it abruptly raised sea levels by 60 feet because of a continental ice dam. And I'm stupid. Uh huh
Amazing how the truth gets distorted alot on the internet.. kinda like that old game pass-it-on. Facts sadly get changed around with every telling. If you are all interested check out Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, UnchartedX, Bright Insight, etc channels. The sea levels rose by 400 feet (121 meters) globally on average. Not 60 feet. That information is accepted by mainstream, and is freely available and accessible through many sources. All backed up by solid scientific data. The land-locked ice from the North American, Greenland, and Scandanavian/European ice sheets were retreating with the recent natural warming phase. There were some intense climatic changes from 12,900-11,600ya. Some of it was gradual interspersed by faster melting called meltwater pulses. These caused devastating floods (Missoula floods/Channeled Scablands, Glacial lake Agassiz) in North America when fresh water glacial lakes burst through ice dams. Specific causes/effect & timeframes of the bigger picture are still being studied, the puzzle pieces being put together. The Haiawatha crater in Greenland (not Iceland) is a great candidate for ice sheet impact (or air burst) that could have caused sudden melting and an out-rush of fresh water into the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. It is checking alot of boxes for impact (platinum spikes, shocked quartz dating to 12,900 etc) and is well within the possibility of happening within the last 13,000 years.
That music even in my dreams will make me feel I'm in desert
People need to stop saying the ancient peoples were primitive !
I have said that for years. Just who do they think invented math and geometry? We wouldn't have anything that we do today if it wasn't for their inventions and discoveries. Only thing we do today is improve on their inventions.
The Sahara most likely was formed during the "Arphaxad Epoch." I just saw a video on that today, just several hours before I saw this video. 👍🙂

@@factssboy no we can't agree only you can.
actually it was still green around 10k years ago and they eye of the sahara was atlantis! there is even salt deposit there from when the ocean swallowed it up. They even found a river that went through there. So it was def lush with plant life and such.

@@susanfromthemountains1754 Good luck with that.
Ok. Thanx for the video. The question still remain. What is hidden under the Sahara sand?
Some really cool shit that has been photographed since the seventies by various radar satellites. Not one word or picture of any of it here, though.
I thought this video was made 20 or so years ago. I was surprised that it is new and so dated.
The Sahara sandstorms drift all the way to the Golf of Mexico. They temper the hurricane season by disrupting the convection cycle that strengthens Atlantic storms.
Yes it does...the dust is dangerous however its saves us by dismantling the strength of a lot of storms
That "music" loop is damned close to having dental work with no pain relief.
A ring structure could also mean Atlantis food for thought.
I been there as a worker of the great man made river in the Saharan desert way back in 2003.
Italian?
what music do you use for the video? I like it
I read many years ago that the world's largest freshwater river runs from west to east a few miles underground.
That, the constant sunshine, and the fact the extensive sand dunes allow for the making of great Sandcastles, makes the Sahara a very special holiday destination.
We need to start pushing all the damn sand into the ocean
But then the sea level will rise 😮😅trouble galore!
I learned very little I didn’t already know.
I hope this video describes the layer of glass under the sands of the Sahara, what has only been described
as being proof of nuclear weapons being used at that time on earth, and what made northern Africa a desert.
Nukes? lol or an asteroid. I am leaning asteroid

You are so right, after a big lighting storm over parts of desert, or even beach sand glass fragments can be formed , and are often, found, PhySci 101.
When you talk about desert plants, you are showing famous California species Joshua trees. From the Mojave Desert in California from Palm Springs to Nevada and Arizona.

So literally it should be referred to as The Desert Desert. Got it.
lokated? or located?
The eye of the Sahara
Oh, lo! Mars!!
Sahara has sunlight and no weeds, and looks perfect for the future of permaculture
The Sahara is just an area that is so dry that every bit of organic, every bit of dust, and every bit of clay has blown away, because there is little moisture around anymore. All that is left is grains of sand.
Humanity turned all this land into desert with farming.
Would love to take my sand rail out there and have some fun on those butiful dunes

When the comet hit 12000 years ago all that sand was pushed from the ocean from tsunami and covered most of civilization in Africa , if everyone in the world decicated to find what underneath it would open new tech

Your commentary about Sahara Desert is quite informative, the only dismay is in your pronunciation of the word Sahara - Seh ha raa. The right way is - Sah ha ra.
