Herman Sörgel's grand project to drain part of the Mediterranean and flood part of the Sahara to “unite” Europe and Africa.
Never heard of him. Thank you. Wild stuff makes China mega canal projects look like kindergarten. But then they get built.
Great article. I love these kind of pie-in-the-sky, but carefully worked out schemes.
I suppose all those people flooded out in central Africa could have been put to work in the new cotton fields of the Sahara.
