I also wondered about the lush life in the desert that must have predated the Egyptian civilizaition founding. You don't willing desert an eden for water edge living and even this qualified by the command not to eat the fish?!!
So, how long was the Eden in the desert in existence? Does Velikovsky have anything to say about this?
It does not take long for an Eden to draw customers, even Britian 24,000 y ago in between icings has a record of people who wore jewelry in the form of the Red Lady (discovered to be a man) archaeology discovery.
If this gift horse of an Eden was a temporary blessing courtesy of a magnetic flake arriving from the sun and bringing down with it a piece of E's atmosphere which arrived like the gift to the mammoth, wrapped in 450 below zero, this would explain how Eden arrived at the Sahara.

Several theories have been offered to explain the prodigious quantity of sand in the Sahara. "The theory of marine origin is now no longer tenable." The sand, it was found, is of recent origin. It is assumed that when a large part of Europe was under ice, the Sahara was in a warm and moist temperate zone; later the soil lost its moisture and the rock crumbled to sand when left to the mercy of the sun and the wind.
How long ago was it that conditions in the Sahara were suitable for human occupation? Movers, the noted Orientalist of the last century, author of a large work on the Phoenicians, decided that the drawings in the Sahara were the work of the Phoenicians. It was likewise observed that on the drawings discovered by Barth the cattle wore discs between their horns, just as in Egyptian drawings.
Also, the Egyptian god Set was found pictured on the rocks. And there are rock paintings of war chariots drawn by horses "in an area where these animals could not survive two days without extraordinary precautions".
The extinct animals in the drawings suggest that these pictures were made sometime during the Ice Age; but the Egyptian motifs in the very same drawings suggest they were made in historical times.
The conflict between the historical and the paleontological evidence, and of both of them with the geological evidence is resolved if one or more catastrophes intervened. It appears that a large part of the region was occupied by an inland lake, or vast marsh, known to the ancients as Lake Triton.

Then in an upheaval, of which many traditions persist in classical literature, the Atlas Mountains were torn apart, the great lake emptied, and the watery region became the great and awesome desert - the Sahara.
