Unveiling the Green Sahara… An archaeological team in Sudan's Atbai Desert has discovered 16 new rock art sites revealing cattle imagery over 4,000-years-old in a now parched Sahara. These findings showcase a lush past and remind us of nature's power to reshape civilizations.
Citroën B2 Scarabée d'Or (replica), 1922. The Golden Scarab half-track (Autochenille) made the first ever crossing of the Sahara by an automobile between December 19, 1922 and January 7, 1923 (101 years ago today). It was driven by Georges Marie Haadt and Louis Audouin Dubreuil (pictured) who travelled 3,200km on the outward journey. No return journey had been planned but they had such a great time on the way out they turned around and went back the same way.
