Rock engravings of Oued Djerat

The rock engravings of Oued Djerat, located in the Tassili n'Ajjer, Algeria, and dated to the Neolithic period, have many affinities with those of the South Oranese (Algeria) and the Fezzan (Libya). According to Henri Lhote, they date back more than 7000 years. He estimated that they comprise more than 4,000 drawings. In terms of subject matter, many depictions feature large game animals found today in East Africa. Domestic animals include sheep, goats, and oxen. Depictions of humans reveal information about their clothing and hairstyles. In the Bubaline period, war scenes are absent and hunting scenes are rare. In contrast, sexual scenes are numerous in several periods.
