"Throughout the Sahara, lakes and swamps developed from rainfall in former millennia. Much like today's saharan nomads, those who wandered as hunter-gatherers, those who caught and trapped games and collected fruits and seeds, and those who dug for roots and tubers were attracted to the simple life form. Around lakes they gathered and formed small communities that settled near the best grazing lands. By the end of this epoch the skills for basic agriculture and animal husbandry were mastered." From Wael Abed's 'The Other Egypt--Travels in No-man's Land', p.138, 1998.
