The Sahara: MORE than Dunes

How’s everyone DUNE? (get it? Like doing. Hah). I just wanted to SPICE up (ok I’ll stop) the channel with a sahara-centric video that definitely has no tie in to recent cinema. Nope. none at all. But seriously, I hope you all enjoy this episode about a place on earth rarely explored.
Background music, and album, by Dara Hughes! Here is full list of everywhere you can find the album and his other work:
Spotify - open.spotify.c...
Bandcamp - uknowhat.bandc...
Apple music: / uknowhat
Amazon music: music.amazon.c...
I usually would recommend wikipedia article to go and check out, but instead, do yourself a favour and check out One Earth’s awesome website:

At 1:37 you misspelled similar lol

[@TheBudgetMuseum]

huh, similiar has always been how I spelled it I think. What a crazy Mandela effect.

[@zokushatech]

@@TheBudgetMuseumi went years thinking “village” was “villiage” lol. I tbh had to google the word similar just to be sure i was right before making a comment because your spelling looked correct too 😂

You guys are so cute

9:52 I just recently looked at Sahara in satellite view, it's crazy how alien it looks from close up, kilometers of dried up rivers remind of me of Mars and how it once held water. It somehow looks like a long lost civilization, in a continent that has the highest growth rate on earth.

[@korakys]

-highest- *only growth rate on earth

[@moshoeshoemokaloba9613]

Apparently it was green once upon a time. Booming with life.

[@Danila438]

​@@moshoeshoemokaloba9613 it's green every 20,000 years or so, we just happened to be in a time when it's not

[@godslaughter]

I love the Sahara so much, nothing comes close to its wonderful wadis, xeric shrublands, arid deserts, oases, the Delta

[@mrmrdoor9256]

Endemic fish in the Sahara! Makes you think how they ended up there. 😅

[@parmaxolotl]

1. Remnant from when it was wetter 2. Sometimes birds accidentally drop fish they're carrying into bodies of water (my friend observed a seagull do this)

[@Jakenatorr]

​@parmaxolotl happens a lot. Sometimes, a bird will grab a pregnant fish, and the eggs will disperse wherever the bird flies

[@Joey-tu7kr]

It’s from the flood during Noah’s time

[@kiuk_kiks]

@@Joey-tu7kr That’s a fable that never existed. Watch videos on the African humid period aka, the green Sahara.

[@kiuk_kiks]

The Sahara was green up to 5.5kya, back in 3,500 BCE. The largest lake by surface area was formed there, megalake Chad. The Sahara was completely lush and green as the west African monsoon travelled north due to the Milankovich cycles and all the African megafauna such as elephants, rhinos, hippos and lions lived in the Sahara. Humans of black African ancestry inhabited the region as the “Aqualithic culture” who were hunter gatherers and later nomadic pastoralists of Nilo-Saharan ancestry. They later moved into the Nile River valley as the Sahara aridified and turned into a desert to form the Nubian and ancient Egyptian civilisations.

[@--Paws--]

Funny how it is called Dorcas Gazelle, when dorcas mean gazelle in Greek...

[@Shumpster4708]

Some Greek must have asked a local, "what's that?" The local replied, "dorcas." "Mmm... so it's a dorcas gazelle, thanks."

[@mikaelfoster9726]

Sahara means desert, the desert desert

[@ProfOak-ci2cc]

Wait until you learn about the western lowland gorilla

[@--Paws--]

@@ProfOak-ci2cc Nothing beats the taxonomy of the Plains Bison.

So happy to see another upload. I love how detailed and in depth your videos are. You respect the intelligence of your audience, which is rare on YT. I hope we will be able to enjoy your carefully crafted content and beautiful music to accompany it for a very long time.

[@jayandremcmurtry7331]

You should do the rest of Africa as well. I'd watch the hell out of that. Maybe the whole world lol

[@Connie.T.]

Seconded!

[@HammyCantFly]

Yes please!! I love learning about this stuff and have never learned enough about African and Asian geography

[@culinarytherapy438]

One of my favorite channels ever, I’ve been watching for about 2 year and always get super excited when I see that you have uploaded. I appreciate that you’re still around on KZbin and I hope that you continue to stick around

[@GeekFreeek]

Instantly became my favorite channel to watch for anything animals! The whole vibe in your videos is awesome. Love the music and humor too

[@Falanx316]

Gotta say the budget museum album is running for on of my favorite albums I’ve ever heard

[@petersmythe6462]

Abyssal plains: resource poor but liveable Hot desert: resource poor but liveable Continental glacier: *NOPE*

[@mcbeenerd]

I have loved your channel from the beginning, and I value it more lately with how respectful you continue to be with your ways of speaking; you make an effort to use non-English words where it's appropriate and culturally relevant and it's very sincere. ❤

[@luisfelipeteixeira6486]

Please do more videos about One Earth's Ecoregions! I loved the way you put the information together

[@Dz73zxxx]

I am a marine scientist focuses on seagrass, and thanks for highlighting them! I didn't even know seagrass existed on the northwest africa coast, although sensible as one of the coastal characteristics of seagrass habitat are visible flux of sands and nutrient run-off. Great video!

[@mangogo44]

So relaxing to listen to ❤ I lived in a desert for a year (rocky one), so interesting to hear about Sahara

[@duhmpling5540]

I love the way you talk your tone and cadence is very relaxing. you remind me of joe pera a little bit

[@michaelklim8277]

11:29 That rock art is probably the most accurately detailed prehistoric rock art that I've ever seen.

[@pacoramon9468]

As a fun fact about Dune, astillar actor Javier Bardem was born on Dunes in an island next to the Sahara.

[@BigboiiTone]

As a Subnautica player, I want to call some of these sub-regions as "biomes." But I don't see that term being used much. To this end, I am looking forward to learning from this video and seeing if I can learn more correct terminology.

[@deanbruton27]

Always a joyous day when the budget museum uploads

[@cjthebeesknees]

Love your content bro, side note: your baboon video still echos in my head to this day, rent free.

[@GangGang1]

Wohooo ur one of my favorite youtube channels! Keep it up dude

[@Sienisota]

I love the style and subjects of your videos. The music is beautiful and fits so well, too.

[@TheFluffestMango]

I love your channel, it’s one of my favorites, your voice is also super relaxing :^

[@DefektiveEnvy]

Opened my eyes, I had no idea the sahara was so varied

[@meltedyakkystick3891]

Love these videos! Thanks for being such a chill KZbinr. Definitely gonna check out the album too. The music on these vids is great.

SUPER NICE Welcome back, The Budget Museum!

Truly iconic overuse of the iconic term “iconic”!

[@apolloeosphoros4345]

i was thinking "damn this background music goes hard" immediately before the interlude announcing the channel's own album lol

[@colelapcevic]

Why this channel isn’t more popular is beyond me. Literally some of the most important and eye opening content on KZbin. Never stop bro.

[@PeopleAreFish]

Excellent video, and great way of jumping on the dune trend. Taking ecoregion study into the mainstream!

[@garyb6219]

You have over 340,000 souls waiting for your next video. No pressure.

Also the phrase "(sahara) desert is just 20% dunes" or something like that was in one Jackie Chan movie. I am not sure about the english name, probably "The armor of the gods 2"

plus Sahara being a desert is fairly recent, it used to be mostly savannah full of the kind of African fauna typical of sub-Saharan Africa.
