The most important archaeological site ever found in the Sahara, dating back 6000 years, was found in the Desert of Messak, south-west Libya. French archaeologist Jean-Louis Le Quellec made this discovery while accompanying an expedition led by geophysicists in search of oil. A unique prehistoric legacy engraved in the rock has been excavated. These stone drawings representing elephants, giraffes and human figures shed a new light on the first human presence in this region.
