EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Saharan rock art, a testament to the rich history and cultural evolution of the humans who once inhabited this arid region. The artwork depicts human figures, with one figure sitting atop a majestic horse, surrounded by a herd of horned animals. The presence of horses in Saharan rock art is particularly intriguing as it dates back around 3,000 years before present, coinciding with a period of increased aridity in the Sahara. This suggests that these ancient inhabitants adapted their way of life to survive in changing climatic conditions. Photographed in Tadrart within the breathtaking Tassili National Park in Algeria, this image offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It speaks volumes about the deep connection between humans and nature during prehistoric times. As we observe these intricate paintings etched onto stone surfaces, we are reminded of the immense skill and creativity possessed by our ancestors. Each stroke tells a story - stories of hunting expeditions, pastoralist lifestyles, and perhaps even early forms of transportation like boats. This photograph serves as both an archaeological treasure and a reminder that our understanding of history is constantly evolving through discoveries such as these remarkable Saharan rock art pieces.
