Robert Bauval joins us to discuss the people of Nabta Playa in the Nubian Desert, which Bauval calls the Egyptian Sahara. Archaeological findings indicate human occupation in the region dating to somewhere between the 10th and 8th millennia BC. They reveal that these prehistoric peoples led livelihoods seemingly at a higher level of organization than their contemporaries who lived closer to the Nile Valley: above-ground & below-ground stone construction, villages designed in pre-planned arrangements, and deep wells that held water year-round.
