"Cave of Swimmers," Gilf Kebir plateau, Egypt
The cave and rock art were discovered in October 1933 by the Hungarian explorer László Almásy.
It contains Neolithic pictographs and is named due to the depictions of people with their limbs bent as if they were swimming.
The drawings include those of giraffe and hippopotamus.
They are estimated to have been created as early as 10,000 years ago with the beginning of the African Humid Period, when the Sahara was significantly greener and wetter than it is today.
The climate change 10,000 years ago was due to changes in summer solar insolation and vegetation and dust feedbacks.
