Must have been carved right after the survivors of Atlantis washed ashore.

I always have trouble with this rock art. That’s because I took my “tools” and carved 1789 and some initials on a rock just off a highway near an historic trail. Of course, it was really 1989. Someday, someone will go bonkers.

Pretty “sharp” (defined) carvings for sandstone.

They seem much more detailed than I would expect. Even the Anasazi paintings in the American SW are little more than modified stick figure.

Satellite image with localisation of the el-Hosh (Abu Tanqura Bahari) and Qurta rock art sites

Scaffolding at Qurta I, locality 1, panel 1

In total there are at least about 160 individual images. The rock art of Qurta consists mainly of naturalistically drawn animal figures. Bovids are largely predominant (at least 111 examples), followed by birds (at least 7 examples), hippopotami (at least 3 examples), gazelle (at least 3 examples), fish (2 examples) and ass (1 example). In addition, there are also (at least) 7 highly stylised representations of human figures (shown with pronounced buttocks, but no other bodily features).
