Episode description
Synopsis: The science behind the 4.2 kiloyear BPE Aridification Event.
“The great farming tracts brought forth no grain,
The irrigated farming tracts brought forth no fish,
The well-watered orchard brought forth neither syrup nor wine.
The gathering clouds brought no rain, not even weeds would grow.” – The Curse of Agade
