A.) Who's digging down to the bedrock of a random dune in the Sahara?
B.) How does that person know that it isn't from a time when the Sahara was on the coast?
I know what happened. 25,000 years ago there were gigantic ice sheets that began to melt. Immense lakes of melted ice began to form in and on those ice sheets over the next 12,000 years. THEN, about 13,000 years ago, a COMET hit the earth in the Northern Hemisphere, breaking up in the atmosphere and impacting in 3 locations. One impacted near Iceland (the largest one) creating the Hiawatha crater. This piece was large enough to punch all the way through the ice and deep into the crust, ejecting huge amount of debris. The second impacted in what is now lower Canada, approximately where the great lakes are now. It was small, leaving behind no crater, but creating a huge crater in the ice sheet covering the region; it quickly filled with cubic MILES of water. The third impact was also small and impacted in what is now Russia, somewhere just east of Moscow. This piece was also relatively small, blasting away the ice sheet and creating another ice crater containing hundreds or possibly THOUSANDS of cubic miles of water.
These meteorite impacts initiated the Younger Dryas event, a period of rapid cooling, that mostly affected the Northern Hemisphere, and lasted about 1000 years. The cooling was enough to "dam up" the melted water contained in the enormous ice sheets covering the region, but not enough to stop the ice sheets from melting overall. Over that 1000 years, the impact craters filled, each, with collectively 1000's of cubic MILES of water!
In the meanwhile, humans began to civilize the land ever northward as the world warmed. They knew about the ice and it was a mythologized entity. They settled the Richat Structure and it quickly became the GRANDEST site of human civilization; the hub of humanity. Simultaneously, the ice continued to recede, the DAMS of ice, holding back 1000's of cubic miles of water, continued to get weaker and weaker until they each BURST!
In what is now North America, the enormous ice lake flowed out into the northern United States creating Lake Agassiz over some time. The gigantic lake, filled with minerals and salt, flowed over the land, stripping away soil and decimating the ecology of the area. In the Atlantic Ocean, the cold, fresh water, flowed into the thermohaline circulation, sinking quickly down into the depths and was swept away to mix with the ocean waters.
Finally, the Russian wall BURST! By far the largest of the ice lakes, the incredible TORRENT flooded across the Mediterranean Sea, across Libya, Chad, Algeria, Western Sahara, and Mauritania. A MILE HIGH wall of water rushed across the MOST IMPORTANT and most DENSLY POPULATED center of humanity, OBLITERATING the people, the culture, and even the Richat Structure itself!
Why does it seem like humans had a "falling", losing their culture and technology? Because they did.
Why are there stories of a global flood, destroying the "wicked"? Because there was.
Why does mythology of a lost civilization called the Atlanteans exist? Because they did.

Just a single peer-reviewed article is all I'm asking for.
Why is that so hard to provide?

So no proof other than a random person on YouTube?
Why do you believe he's telling the truth?

The extent of YouTubing I do is a bald Canadian that made his career on playing the Binding of Isaac (greatest game of all-time) and a guy that does Lets Plays of roguelikes. Also, I just found out YouTube has Stardom matches.
I'm not relying on any of them to tell me about conspiracies on how the world works.
So, what does this random man have to support his outrageous claim?

I didn't realize asking for proof that it's anything more than wind is trolling.
