Egypt Splits the Sahara to Let the Mediterranean Sea In! This Will Change the Map of Africa Forever!

The Qattara Depression is one of the most extreme places on Earth. It lies in western Egypt and drops almost four hundred and twenty-six feet below sea level. The harshest conditions rule here: temperatures rise to one hundred and twenty-two degrees Fahrenheit, there is practically no rainfall, and the land itself looks scorched and dead. And it is precisely here that Egypt is going to do something that sounds almost insane. To turn the desert… into a sea. The area of the future body of water is supposed to be about five thousand four hundred square miles. To understand the scale, it is almost like Lake Ontario, one of the largest lakes in North America. The footage will be spectacular, the tourists inevitable. But the spectacle is far from the main thing here. This project is conceived as an answer to several key problems of the country at once. Energy production, the creation of a gigantic natural battery, new sources of water. All of this can become reality thanks to one artificial sea in the heart of the Sahara. And it seems Egypt really stands on the threshold of radical change.
