yes, the Sahara desert was an ocean. how do we know this? scientists have discovered high levels of silica,halite and Mercury in the sand, as well, unlike most deserts, the Sahara has large pools of water deep beneath the surface.this prooves that there must have been water in this desert at some point in the past. radioactive dating says around 100-150 million years ago.
