Isn’t there a hadith about the deserts becoming more fertile towards the end of times?
This new lake that has popped up in tunisia - it’s beautiful and rugged, and…no one knows where the heck the water came from.
Re: Lake in Tunisia
A lake that mysteriously appeared in a drought-stricken region of Tunisia last month is being hailed as a miracle by locals but may in fact be radioactive.
Local shepherds discovered the large body of water along the Om Larayes Rd, about 25km from the southern Tunisian city of Gafsa, about three weeks ago, FRANCE24 reports.
Since then, hundreds of people have flocked to the oasis-like formation dubbed “Lac de Gafsa” or Gafsa Beach. Families swim there, youths leap from surrounding rocks into its clear waters and the curious — and the cautious — come equipped with scuba gear.
“Some say that it is a miracle, while others are calling it a curse,” FRANCE24’s Tunisian correspondent Lakhdar Souid said.
I remmember reading that Moamaar Ghadaffi found Water in the desert of Libiya, but that was deep wells, this seems to be water table risen to the surface, the water was clear blue in the begining but now it is slowly turning green, algea is growing that is a good sign!
Re: Lake in Tunisia
Saw some pics, sounds interesting. Officials had taken water samples for test, is there any official words on the safety of the water for swimmers? NatGeo isn't there as yet? :)
