Slontah is an ancient Libyan temple dating back to the Berber
period before the Greek occupation (630 BC); it is hidden high in the Green Mountain's groves, j ust where ancient temples were expected to be. The temple is rich in carvings of human faces, unusual human figures and animals, disembodied heads, and slender bodies engraved directly onto the rocks, in a style totally unique to the temple. Some of these figures, unlike any of the ancient representations of the surrounding cultures, are in a seated position, in what appears to be a religious gathering, probably in association with the worship of the dead. Burials and statues in seating position are characteristic of several Berber cemeteries of the time. The most prominent feature is the group of five heads on the top left-side of the entrance, the eternal guardians
of the sanctuary. These heads have been discovered on several places around the Mediterranean world, and pose a problem: they are too old to belong to the same period as the column base. Probably, these heads are the oldest sculptures at Slontah, to which the other reliefs were added in the Graeco-Roman period.

le pitture rupestri del Sahara, che risalgono a 10000-8000 anni fa,più
frequenti nelle aree montuose, rappresentano un mondo mitico e
fantastico riproducendo l'antica foresta ricca di fiumi, laghi e animali
selvatici.
A causa della crescente aridità, i luoghi dell'arte rupestre vengono poi
abbandonati e consegnati ai secoli a venire. E' emozionante pensare che dove ora si vede solo deserto, ci fossero giraffe e rinoceronti!
The rock paintings of Sahara, 10000-8000 years old, are frequently in
the mountains areas and they represented a mitical world with forests,
rivers, lakes and wild animals.
These place were abandoned for the reason of the growing drought
Where there is desert now, there were giraffes! It's exciting!
