Hidden history! How did the Sahara Desert form so fast? What caused the desertification of so much of the African continent in so short a timeframe?

I used to think I knew who I was, but the last 10 years has taught me that I am so much more. I am a child of God and an American above all.

I’ll hazard a guess, salt, too saline for plant life?

Doubtful. That part of Africa roughly spans the same latitudes as the USA, & shows no modern signs of being flooded by the ocean.

There is an interesting feature on the north-western African coast, The Eye of The Sahara (Richat Structure). Some say it could possibly be the location of the lost City of Atlantis, esp since it's geological structure seems to conform to the description of the city given by Plato.

[Extrapolating into the wild] Could the destruction of Atlantis have initiated the desertification of the norther half of Africa? Maybe, but those maps seem to indicate there was no solid expanse of desert there 500 yrs ago. (Many map makers copied much older maps, tho, another mystery.)

It's a mystery worth exploring. Esp in light of the clear marks of water erosion from heavy rains evident on the Sphinx, said to have occurred 10,000/15,000 yrs ago, in line w the arrangement of the Pyramids IRT position of Orion matching that timeframe. Africa is full of mysteries.

So what could explain the disappearance of soil leaving only sand? This has always puzzled me. Sand acts as a desicant in preserving bodies in ancient Egypt IIRC. Could the predominanceof sand in the mix have dried out the soil sufficiently for the prevailing winds to blow it away? Dust storms in the midwest come to mind. Ah! That’s how I am, curious but too lazy to dig into solving things.
