We might not expect to find fish fossils in the Sahara Desert, but recently researchers dug up a 2-metre (6.5 ft.) long catfish in Wadi Al-Hitan, southwest of Cairo.
It is roughly the same size as today’s largest catfish.
The creature is assumed to be “37 million years” old. Clearly a catfish, it was named Qarmoutus hitanensis.
Evolutionists believe that Sahara was once covered with water. We would agree, although they tend to give inflated dates.
The real watery episode occurred around 4,500 years ago.
The entire world was then covered by water. Thus, we should not be surprised if fossils and huge animal graveyards are found all over the globe.
For Darwinists, fossils are often found in the wrong places. Here are some examples:
Dinosaurs in Alaska, turtle fossils in the Andes, a whale graveyard in the Atacama Desert in Chile, a fossilised tropical forest in Norway and pollen from tropical trees in Antarctica.
The catfish fossil is not the only evidence for Noah’s Flood in the Sahara. The Aloba Arch in Chad, an imposing natural formation, also looks like it was carved by huge amounts of water.
