Saharan Rock Art

Saharan Rock Art refers to ancient carvings and paintings found on rocks across the Sahara Desert, created by early human societies thousands of years ago. These artworks depict animals, humans, and scenes of daily life, offering insights into the region’s prehistoric environment and cultures. The art dates back to periods when the desert was greener and more hospitable. Studying these images helps archaeologists understand early human migration, wildlife, and social practices, making Saharan Rock Art a valuable record of humanity’s early history in an area now largely arid and uninhabitable.
