Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
They did not need it for transport. They had camels. Much more useful in a sandy desert.
Camels were not introduced to Egypt until the Persians invaded in 525 BCE.
They dragged things on sledges with someone wetting the sand in front of them.
We have no doubt about that.
Actually almost all of the people in ancient Egypt lived in the Nile river delta, because of the fertile soil. As such they mostly used boats to transport things up and down the river. They also used a lot of ships for trading with other lands along the Mediterranean coast. For smaller local transport carts were used, as they didn't live in a desert environment, but instead in a lush agricultural land.
Well that explains the desertification I guess.
