Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
In the middle of the Sahara, on a sandstone plateau in southeastern Algeria, are fifteen thousand engravings and paintings up to twelve thousand years old, showing hippos, crocodiles, herds of cattle and swimming figures, in country that is now one of the driest places on Earth. They are the record of a green Sahara, before the monsoon shifted. A UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the greatest galleries of prehistoric art anywhere. Access needs permits and guides.
Tassili n’Ajjer (Algeria). Source: Prehistoric art proving the Sahara was once green and full of water. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
