I guess He didn't see the Reddit post in R/SaudiArabianDesertLostandFound

> "if anyone finds my lucky seashell that I lost, could you please return it. I think I lost it near the Alghat desert while I was sledding down a sand dune.

I found a sea shell in a visit to Latamber in Pakistan (NWFP): https://www.flickr.com/photos/hendry/73369720/

She sells seashells in the Sahara was my first association, but then the article clearly states that we're talking about a different desert.

I don't understand why the author didn't put all of these pictures and information of where he found it into an AI like ChatGPT. That should be the first thing one should try.
