The cave is located North of Algeria, at the Lahsi station, 12 miles away from Boussemghoun:





It's a part of the +/- 320 cave art located in the Ksour mounts (in the western part of the Atlas mount), but one of the less known



The petroglyphs probably date from the early North African Neolithic or 7000 years to 3000BC.

The region is also known to be a mecca for rock art, open-air museum, the largest in the world, and considered as a World Heritage.

Here's the place:



And two views of the engraving:





A close-up:



....and some graphic representations:





Here's what the French Prehistoric Society said in 1997 in its report about the two characters (translation by myself):

Two characters of very unequal sizes and in a very different state of preservation, constitute the principal feature of the engraved scene.
The largest, with a height of 2.2 meters (7.2 feet), is very remarkable for its slender and elegant alluring. Head front view shows the face whose details have been altered by erosion. Long wavy hair framing it, falling over the shoulders. This is the only known example to date in the Atlas that represents such long and wavy hair.
The body, seen in 3/4, has the elegance of her figure due to the disproportion between the short trunk and the long and slender legs, with a small waist marked by a wide belt.
The arms are flexed, right hand holding an object coil shaped, up to the head of a ram's neck adorned with a braided necklace. This figure wears a garment materialized in front of the torso by two vertical lines and behind the belt by a long narrow fallout.

Another character, much smaller, very different in morphology, with a rounded head, is holding an object shaped like a bean.

Sure, as well as all ancient civilizations had lots of fantasy. All their stories were plays and mind#s.

Look how tall this picture is... You have to be 7.2 feet tall to draw it!


But of course the scientists will tell you they build an safety approved stand, and just had some disproportional fun again.

Sun God?

To me the drawings look like a tall long haired person

I can't help but think its a possible drawing of a Sun God, these are the people who are said to be resonsible for the building of alot of acient sites such as the Pyramids


There are hundreds of pyramids in China also and funny enough like Egypt the builders was also called Sun Gods. The Chinese government actually got the farmers to farm on top of the pyramids so that they would be not so apparent by satellite. The reason why they were doing that is because they didn't want the western world to know about these pyramids.

Why?

Because the legend that comes with these pyramids is that The Sun Gods built them, and that The Sun Gods were tall blue eyed and blond haired people. From the Chinese point of view, blond haired, blue eyed people had to be Europeans. And the last thing they wanted was that European people being responsable for some of the ancient knowledge of the Chinese tradition. So for a long period of time they didn't want those pyramids to be known by the West.

There were found hundreds of mummies of these blond haired, blue eyed people in the high desert of China. All very tall, not Asian people. And when you go to the "forbitten city" of China, the city that holds all the knowledge of the univers, all the knowledge of The Sun Gods, at the entrance of the city is a sphinx, The Lion, which in both, the Chinese and Egyptian traditions, is the guardian of the knowledge. It guards the knowledge under its paw and under its paw is a sphere with the patterns of the Flower Of Life. Although the knowledge of The Sun Gods has been very confused and diluted throughout the ages.

Long wavy hair framing it, falling over the shoulders. This is the only known example to date in the Atlas that represents such long and wavy hair.


Although it's possible she had 'long, wavy hair,' it could as easily be a headscarf or some type of headgear? Then again, it might not be a 'she' either and I'm just projecting...

To me, that looks like a drawing of two men with one being in the foreground, the other in the background. Even if the larger one measures 7.2 feet tall, that doesn't mean the person he is representing was actually 7.2 feet tall. It is simply a drawing of a man.

To put it another way, other prehistoric drawings show men around 4 inches tall - should we take it there was a race of Lilleputians? (ala Gullivers Travels).

Still, cool spot and thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of this site beforehand, now i am.
