Description
The finger - Mont Equilibre - in the Wadi Atoulla in the Tadrart Acacus in Libya. The desert itself is characterised by mountains, rocks, sand and dunes. Rock monuments can be found, comparable to those in Arches National Park in the United States. In caves there are early historical engravings of elephants and water buffaloes dating from around 4000 BC. They are similar to those in the Algerian Tassili Mountains. The paintings document periods when the region was much wetter and thus offered a much more fertile landscape. - Libya - 1969
