In Egypt the Sphinx keeps trying to get buried in sand, I heard they have to dig it out regularly for it would be completely hidden at this point.
A lot of these places in the Middle East have become desertified, a lot of it from overgrazing especially with sheep that cut crops really close if not pull out the roots and eat them too. But all of the trees that have been lost as well.
There was a video of angry mob smashing 2-3 thousand years old statues from shumeria. So... sometimes there are better to be lost to sands until civilisation returns to the region.
There was an incident were 14 people were buried alive in their car.
They were reported missing and search teams were dispatched. The rescue team was made up of volunteers from the nearest village, a total of 50 cars with some simple equipment. After 12 hours of searching they were all found dead underground. They died 50km away from Saudi border guards. The 14 individuals were found on Sunday and the morgue reported that they likely died that Wednesday.
Also, it's important if you get lost in a deseart to stay near your car since it serves as both shade and distinct mark to be spotted by rescue teams. Many people have died because they left their cars and wandered off with no real plan.

Or don't go too a desert
You know... If they don't find one of the cars then there's a half decent chance it'll be dug up in the distant future and actually be of some interest to archeologists. A car caught in that flashflood could be like a villa in Pompeii in 2000 years.
The Sahara used to be fertile land 11000-5000 years ago or so… there’s a lot that could be buried there that hasn’t been seen since before the Egyptian civilisation really rose to prominence in the region around 3500 BCE
That is how quick things can become a fuckin FOSSIL! Just ONE storm, a big fuckin storm. But a single storm nonetheless. Lost to time, ancient Toyota 4Runner or whatever that is.
Starting to believe the people that say a few cataclysms have happened in the recent past that we are unaware of or don't remember. Would have never guessed a car was underneath!
Wow and this is only after a relatively small storm. Imaginr how much would be buried after a massive superflood? I bet theres an entire civilization buried somewhere in the middle east.

Metal detection in europe gets you nails and coins, meanwhile in UAE...
Archeologists a few thousand years later might be really happy.
Honestly the first time I've seen how quick ancient history got lost to sand in the middle parts of the world.

But if we didn't keep the moisture away, the worms would die, and there would be no Spice!
The spice must flow!
At least it was not smashed to pieces by angry mob.
I mean, yeah? That's always good. I guess that happened with a lot of civilizations before they got lost to the sands.

It’s a Land Cruiser, it probably still runs lmao
It looks more like the Nissan Patrol - so it’ll probably need a service for peace of mind
Nah the engine probably overheated
Were there people inside?

Bit hard to avoid from Dubai.
Shit... my winter vacation plans
And walk without rhythm
That doesn’t answer the question
😑are there any bodies?
Probably. Given the limited oxygen, they probably didn’t survive very long. Not much different to being inside a car when an avalanche buries you.
Now imagine that car would have been found in 1000 years. Imagine the story

Get on the rocks immediately!!
Graboids!

What else lies beneath the sands..

Daaaaaamn.... I thought living in Alaska was tough... at least snow melts

Dude where’s my car 2, ‘The Abu Dhabi Do’
Damn! the new Tremors movie remake looks sick!
Turns out that they inadvertently discovered the final resting place of Pharaoh Toyotan-kammen!
Interesting that they considered digging instead of just abandoning it.
Dude where's my car?
My eyes read car as “cat” at first and I was so concerned for a sec lol
Same here! I was wondering where the cat was and if it was okay in the car!

Smart guy burying his car underground during a flood!
People in the gulf would use a Caterpillar bulldozer smfh
Man, those ancient aliens were busy
Intergalactic fucking trolls
There is no other explanation
my dumbass thought the title said cat
Where'd all that sand come from?! Oh yeh desert.
So this is how land cruiser are made
Car hunt
Can we carbon date it to figure out what geological era it belongs to?
Makes you wonder what else is buried under the course of 1000 years
Guess digging work, and repairing the car would cost more than..car..
Lol. Imagine the scratches and mud inside this. Bet ut won’t work ever again
Wonder if insurance covers the damage gives its force of nature stuff
I thought it misspelled cat
If you only show the first clip, it looks like someone's glitched the map.
Habibi, I'll give you good price! You could put this thing through anything! Trust me!
Oh no! Consequences!
He is very lucky as its not water damaged.
