    • Abstract:
      The article discusses rock art that features depictions of everyday life and death in the Sahara desert dating back 10,000 years. It describes rock art that depicts the Sahara as a savannah that was home to a wide variety of animals, the transformation of the Sahara into a desert, and parallels between the iconography of the rock art to that of Ancient Egypt.
