Description:
This is one of the most iconographic images of ancient rock art in the world of sciences. The Cave of Swimmers is located on the GilfKebir Plateau, which is part of the Sahara Desert in southwestern Egypt. Indeed, it is the same rock art mentioned in the well-known novel of Michael Ondaatje: The English Patient (1992). Our archeologists at Blueprinted Education have created with art and precision the beauty of these images. A set of swimmers and other characters stand out in the foreground and, in the back, a hand is painted in negative technique on the rock. The meaning of these set of images is still unknown, but due to its pulled position it is very possible that it refers to people swimming. According to experts, it is estimated that these figures were created about 10,000 years ago, at a time when the Sahara was greener and wetter, which was affected by ancient climate changes whose motives have not been well explained.
