Evidence from the Peruvian Andes, the snows of Kilimanjaro, tree rings in Britain, all point to a huge climate change 5,200 years ago.
Lake Chad in Africa dropped by about 40ft, the Sahara desert once inhabited by cattle grazers, became a desert. Torrential downpours ceased upon the Egyptian sandstone Sphinx There was a great movement of people in India and Iran to wetter areas. Professor Lonnie Thompson stated that Earths climate was then influenced by Solar output fluctuations, that had a dramatic effect upon climate.

AND FROM
The Hindustan Times, By N.S. Rajaram

Until quite recently, the famous Harappan civilization of the Indus valley has been an enigma. Many questions still remain about the identity of the people who created this great ancient civilization. Stretching over a million and a half square kilometers, from the borders of Iran to east UP and with some sites as far south as the Godavari valley, it was larger than ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia combined. What is perhaps most puzzling about it is the fact that all major sites spread over this immense belt went into sudden decline and disappeared more or less simultaneously. From all this it is clear that the loss of these sites must have been associated with some natural catastrophe. A few scholars have pointed to evidence of frequent floods to account for the abandonement. But floods are invariably local in nature and do not cause the collapse of a civilisation over a vast belt. People adapt. Floods bring death but they also sustain life. Some of the most flood prone areas of the world - like the Nile valley, Bengal and the Yangtse valley, in China,- area also among the most densely populated. It is THE LOSS OF WATER, or dessication that causes massive disruptions on the scale witnessed at the end of the Harappan civilization. Thanks to the latest data from two major archaeological and satellite based studies,we now know that this is exactly what happened. It was ecological change that ended the great civilization not only in India but over avast belt that included Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Aegean.

Those that fail to learn from history
Are doomed to repeat it.

And all the education paid for by George Bush, Sr.
And all of the professors at Yale
Were not able to pound that simple fact into the shrub's head.

C'est dommage.
