Even in the 21st century they can't just magically change sand into fertile agricultural land.

>>2578211
Egyptians had a powerful God of the desert named Set who taught them the secrets of taming the desert

The other ones were just Cucks kicked out of Pontus for out jewing their king.

Egypt didn't really stretch to just inland but more like along Nile river so that water was always pretty close. They couldn't build long way from water since they didn't have any systems to transport water like example Romans did. Roman's were the first civilization in history of mankind that could bring water from long distances and channel that water to the place where they needed it. This was revolutionizing technology since Roman's were the first people who didn't have to use so much man hours to get water from long distances. Also Roman's were now able to build bigger cities and they didn't need to place their new cities so close to water anymore since they could always use their aqueducts to channel their water to places they wanted or needed.

P.S. Once you start to study Roman architecture and their inventions you start to realize how far ahead they were in their time. One fine example of this are these aqueducts. They could transport water from long distances with only using gravity.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE SAHARA DESERT
>>
>>2578292
You think ancient people had access to some kind of terraforming magic that could turn deserts into arable farmland? Deserts are STILL empty wastelands today, there's a reason we tested nukes in the desert.

>>2578211
There actually were forts and nomads in the interior of the Maghreb.
>>
>>2579356
That they weren't African, genius.

>>2578757
The Nile was pretty much the only water source and it was at a low level, not much need for aqueducts.

Guess Hungarians aren't European then.
