Climate & Civilization Killed Egypt's Animals

[Still Waters]

If you took a cruise along the northern stretch of the Nile some 6,000 years ago, you wouldn't have seen any pyramids, but you might have spotted a giraffe or an elephant taking a drink at the bank of the river.

At that time, the Nile wasn't surrounded by desert; rather, the warmer, wetter landscape resembled the current scenery of sub-Saharan East Africa.

But around that time wouldn't the species of animals there 6000 years ago be a little...... different, like a relatvive species extinct today?

Possibly... I was thinking the same thing...
