A second Nile River

Imagine that Africa geology would allowed a second river crossing Sahara Desert.

For example, a changed Niger River with more rivers discharging into it, allowing it advance north, cross Sahara Desert, and discharging at Southern Morocco.

How would it change Human History???

Here, a hand-drawing picture

That river would be going up-hill for most of its journey, which is impossible.

And for future reference, geographical PODs belong in ASB.

Not necessarily. A geographical POD can be set hundreds of millions of years ago as the continents were shaped. Now, such a change impacts evolution to the point that it takes ASB to populate the world with humans and the life forms of today.

Alternatively, a seismic/geotechnical event can break/shift a continent to create a geography as drawn. But such an event would change the evolution of life as well, unless it was so recent that river basins would not be created.

Which is the exact reason WHY it belongs in ASB.

EDIT: I didn't intend to sound rude.

I know real African geology don't allow it. I only propose that it would allow it, how would change our History?
 
That map looks like the Senegal River moved North. A second Nile would flow from Lake Chad and come out in the Med.

Whe had a thread about a Volcano blocking the Congo River and the Congo Sea flowing out to the north.
