Ruined houses Abaiké Ennedi, Chad
We were told by our local guide that these walls at Abaiké in Ennedi were the ruins of ancient houses. I don't know how old they are, but I presume they date from the African Humid Period when this area would have been lush and green, now it is arid desert, the AHP ended some 4000 years ago. The people of this area today are nomads, moving around with their herds of camels, sheep and goats in search of grazing and water, people leading such a lifestyle are unlikely to have built houses from stone.
