Tadrart Akakus

Around 300 murals and several thousands of rock paintings created 8000 years ago have allowed to reconstruct the uninterrupted evolution of the diverse stylistic trends and the alternations of inspiring motifs along a prolonged period. The most impressive rock paintings are located in the sites of Matkendush, Galghien and Tilizzagham, that are spread along the Tadrart Akakus mountain range, in whose valleys were established several prehistoric settlements. The vast majority of these artworks have been preserved to the present in a magnificent condition.
