Libyan Neolithic Rock Art
Libyan Neolithic Rock Art submitted by AlexHunger : Site in Libya: This neolithic rock art was cut out from its undisclosed original location and is now on display in the Leptis magna Museum. It is typical of much rock art found from Libya to South Africa. The site of Tarhuna has similar Rock Art, but the display does not confirm this as the provenance. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cup and Ring marks / Rock Art in Libya

Series of 34 rock carvings at ground level representing 31 humans and, a rhinoceros, a dog and an indeterminate creature. These are thought to date to the "cattle" period between 5000 BCE and 2500 BCE.

Located on the left to side of the road leading to Ash Sharshārah on the hill. Exact location unknown.
