世界上的沙漠-撒哈拉
begrudgecabotine The Sahara Dert, covering most of North Africa, is the largest dert in the world. From north to south the Sahara is between 800 and 1,200 miles and is at least 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from east to west. Due to the massive size of the Sahara, Africa is split into two regions: that which lies above or forms part of the Sahara and the rest of Africa south of the Sahara. On the west, the Sahara is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and on the east by the Red Sea, and to the north are the Atlas Mountains and Mediterranean Sea.Over 25 percent of the Sahara's surface is covered by sand sheets and dunes. 撒哈拉沙漠是世界上的沙漠, 25%的沙漠被沙土和沙丘覆盖。

The People 人类hallstatt
The Sahara Dert covers over 3.5 million square miles and has only 2.5 million inhabitants - roughly 1 person per square mile (0.4 sq km)- which is one of the lowest population densities on earth. Wherever abundant food and water sources occur, one will find relatively large mass of people and wildlife. On the whole, the Sahara is one of the harshest environments known to man. 居住人口极少,大约每人占地0.4平方公里,是世界上最少的人口密度。
Many rearchers have gone into the Sahara looking for clues as to how long ago humans began inhabiting the dert. According to archeologists, the Sahara was much more denly populated thousands of years ago when the dert's climate was not as harsh as it is today. Fossils, rock art, stone artifacts, bone harpoons, shells and many other items have been found in areas which today are considered too hot and dry to inhabit. This suggests that the areas were quite habitable thousands of years ago, but that the climate of the Sahara has since changed drastically. The artifacts found were located near remains of giraffe, elephant, buffalo, antelopes, rhinoceros, and warthog, as well as the remains of fish, crocodiles, hippopotamus and other aquatic animals which suggests that thousands of years ago water was quite abundant in the Sahara. 很多研究者经常深入撒哈拉去寻找人类是多久以前就在沙漠中生活了。 据历史学家调查,在千方年前的撒哈拉,人口密度比现在要高,是因为那时的沙漠的条件没有现在那么险恶。
