Atlantropa: The Megaproject That Wanted To Dam And Drain The Mediterranean Sea

A bit of a different episode for the channel today! As opposed to focusing on population, we're going to dive deep into a very specific proposed megaproject called Atlantropa. This wild machination would have drained large parts of the Mediterranean and physically connected Europe and Africa. But while that might sound good in some ways, the geographic consequences would have been staggering! It's not too much to say that, had this project been built, the world would be very different today and not for the better.
