Europe dries out this year...
Thank you, people! Thank you for traveling to Majorca every summer, for traveling to Turkey, Egypt and all the other Mediterranian areas, thank you for every cruise trip you ever joined in the last 20 years, thank you for producing and buying all the short-lived stuff and throwing things away before their expiration, thank you for outsourcing and globalized economy, thank you for all the wars in the Middle East, thank you for all the babies you had to get in the last 20 years, thank you for all the crap you've thoughtlessly thrown into nature, than you for all the stuff you have thoughtlessly taken from nature, thank you for valuing everything in money and rating it higher than matter - thank you for coming up and never getting enough!
That's what everyone gets from it!
And there's still way, way, WAY more to get!

“A couple of years ago, I read an article about them having discovered that large parts of the Sahara desert area once has been a large sea at around 800-1000 years ago.”

800-1000 years?! No, never heard about this… All our planet surface was sometime a sea bottom, I had dig down to the former sea level right under my site… where there are levels of sedimentary oceanic rocks covered with level of ice shields crashing work materials… But it certainly was much more than 1000 years… Again, at Egypt all terrain covered with former rivers beds, so no ocean was there for sure. At least in last tens of thousands of years…

It wasn't completely covered with water. More like a large lake in the middle with landmass all around.
How deep it supposedly was, if it was a pretty flat lake or even went a bit deeper, I don't remember (and I don't know if they could even tell that).
At around the 12 century, it supposedly started to dry out or eventually dried out from reasons they couldn't evaluate at the time yet when I read that.
