Tefnut's Environmental and Drought News
Tefnut was the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Moisture.
When Tefnut was worshipped the landscape of Egypt and North Africa was totally different. Ancient Egypt was a land of rich farmland, vast grasslands and savannah when Tefnut was a popular Goddess. Over millennia the trees and vegetation of Egypt and North Africa were cut down to provide food, fuel, transport and shelter. The trees and savannah of Ancient Egypt provided cover, habitat for Man and wildlife and were the catalysts that brought rain to Northern Africa. Once the vegetation that covered Ancient Egypt was removed the environmental changes created a situation where rain and moisture disappeared which led to the eventual creation of the Sahara desert. Without the trees and grasslands the rainfall totals decreased and the vegatation withered and died leading to a mass migration of people and wildlife.
