Grimbergen Expedition

The Grimbergen Expedition was a scientific mission conducted by Belgian monks and researchers in the early 1980s to explore the Sahara Desert and surrounding regions. Its goal was to study the geology, ecology, and ancient history of the area, including uncovering archaeological sites. The expedition aimed to deepen understanding of the Sahara's environmental changes over time and uncover historical insights about human activity in the region. It combined field research, sample collection, and archaeological investigation, contributing valuable knowledge about one of the world's most challenging and least understood desert environments.
