It seems it just showed up as a popular way of referring to Megalake Chad, which is the official term that was used for decades in Academia, since Jean Tilho first proposed the ancient lake. It's not clear who might have been the first to use it.
Maybe it was just someone using hyperbaton to show off their creative-writing skills 🙂
The Baltic was occasionally a fresh water lake
Indeed, known as the Ancylus Lake. I wrote about the Baltic Sea a few months ago, and it included a bit of the past lake period: https://www.cartographerstale.com/p/baltic-ice-and-its-advantages
Very interesting! You, Miguel, are a true Mega-Chad
Thank you!
