Early Algeria

Early Algeria

In Neolithic times the Sahara was a populated wooded grassland. Due to over-farming or natural erosion, this area is now one of shifting sand dunes (ergs) & inhospitable volcanic mountains. Around 3000BC, the Berber tribe settled the Mediterranean coast to escape the growing Sahara desert. The tough, nomadic Tuareg tribe remained in the interior. [NS] {UA}
