Dhambalin, about 40 miles from the Red Sea, features horned cattle, sheep and goats painted about 5,000 years ago. The animals have distinctive bands around their backs and bellies, which suggests farming or ritual traditions.

almost 100 sites in Somaliland …painted around 4,000 years ago – one of the earliest known depictions of a mounted hunter…the quality of the paintings …extraordinarily well-preserved rock art…Other paintings are more mysterious – like the 2,000-year-old colourful images of the full moon I can believe it.
Pardon me if this all seems too good to be true.
Fraud in archeology is certainly nothing new. This many new discoveries by one researcher in a short time with new never before seen depictions of animals and hunters, extraordinarily well preserved.
If it is too good to be true; it probably is not true.
