1999 Sahara Sea Expedition - The Stone 00:31

Finally we found what we were looking for. The final proof of the existence of the Sahara Sea, carved in a gravestone. The inscriptions were Old Hebrew and related to the language used in the Death Sea Rolls. A priest translated the message. A frightening message: King Alexander watched how in a dark night the earth trembled, the cities got destroyed and the ship sunk in a violent storm. We contacted scientists with this amazing feature. They laughed and even refused to look at it. It simply couldn,t be true.

1999 Sahara Sea Expedition - Escape 00:53

After finding the gravestone that proofed the existence of the Sahara Sea, we run for the violence of the civil war. A war that caused 145.000 death people. The Unimog was loaded on a Volvo truck. Escorted by three undercover agents we passed an unknown and isolated part of the Sahara desert on our way to the township Kidal in Mali, where two years later three Dutch people were killed in a terrorist attack.
