Climate change evacuated Fayum
- Historian Sabine Huebner of the University of Basel compared for the first time last year in the Fayum region of Egypt. It has concluded that demographic and climatic data of the third century are closely related.

The article published in Studies in Late Antiquity has once again highlighted the serious consequences of climate change, one of the greatest threats of the time.
