6K? 60K? Within human memory for sure, there's those petroglyphs, not to mention Ozymandias by Shelley.
In any case, I see the link I snagged from Google is to the Finnish Wikipedia page. For some reason there is no English page on Saharasia. It is more about patriarchy than climate, but the official page is at:
James DeMeo, Saharasia
Rebuttal (the Taureg are counterfactual) at:
Flaws of the Saharasia Hypothesis of James DeMeo
I don't have a link, but something I saw recently suggested the Sahara was wet prior to 6K years ago, but dry prior to 11K years ago.
As for the 2nd heresy, I'd have to watch it again.
Edit: I now see the intervening posts. It wasn't just the Sahara—look at any color picture of the whole Earth's surface. It extends all the way to the Gobi Desert.

My friend says cattle. I say nuclear weapons; and I cite Sodom, Gomorrah, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. And Robert Oppenheimer.
