And then later on, as the Sahara dries up, you know, say beginning around like 800, I'm sorry, 8000 BC, it starts rapidly drying up. It's probably a little bit before that. And then by about 4000 BC, it's completely dry. So your Saharans only have a few places that they can go. They can go to the Mediterranean coast. They can go to the Atlantic coast.

They can go down kind of into the Congo and in the savannas. Or they can go to this fertile valley oasis where it's like 500 yards on each side where it's just completely lush tropical oasis.

Like we can verify it, I guess, if that makes sense. And and so rather than being able to have these huge pieces of property where they can all live separated from each other, kind of like in the Sahara, you have all this space and so luxurious.
