I remember hearing that the Sahara desert was created by Romans salting the earth.
That can’t possibly be true?
Also I wonder how it is connected to Jesus saying ‘you are the salt of the earth’. That seems like am entirely different thing, but then again maybe not?
I feel like the most modern equivalent is Vietnam.

We (in Germany) use salt in winter to defrost the pavement and streets but it doesn’t have a big effect on the weeds. They still appear from any crack they can find.
