Notes and bibliography

Grateful thanks to M. Henri Lhote, French archeologist and ethnologist , for the wonderful work he undertook with his team in Tassili in 1956 . Thanks to his works that lasted 16 months and most of the time in very difficult conditions , we can now appreciate the wonderful saharan rupestral frescoes . They made precise copies of 800 of the frescoes . For instance :

Dancers in leggins "in situ"

the copy made by the"Lhote"team
