the rock art shows how the original people of north Africa really looked like.

@Naija guy how can you have an original "mixed race" person? what can they mix with? original humans didn't come from west Africa. they came from northeast Africa and southern Africa. These black African people migrated throughout Africa and the rest of the world. That's why west Africans carry those genes. Those prehistoric cave paintings show what those people looked like- just like black Africans generally look today.

@Gamal Nasser you are so correct ( except for the western "Eurasian" that was "indigenous" (?) to Africa part), and they were obviously black African people. Eurasian, Turks, Arabs, Hittites..whatever you want to call Indo european long haired types didn't come on the scene until thousands of years later. The artwork is the best real evidence for this along with the linguistics, archaeology and history. The entire continent of Africa was populated by different types of black African peoples. I'll believe my lying eyes.

@Gamal Nasser there was no caucasian types in the paleolithic era. White/ light skin is only 6000-8000 years old. any Paleolithic so called "Levantine/mediterranean" types would have looked like their African descendants up until the Neolithic era. so trying to connect that study with the Indoeuropean types today is misleading.

@Gamal Nasser let me clarify. white skin in modern humans is only 6-8000 years old. All earlier hominid groups that left Africa and settled in northern climates skin became white, but they mostly died out. so yes, of course your Neanderthal ancestors had white skin 40,000 years ago. it was these neanderthals and the evolving modern humans in Asia that became your ancestors. I'm talking about the ancestors of us modern humans. The ones that came out of southern and eastern Africa and gave rise to early African black peoples who were the prototype for all humans at the time.

I need to say thank you to the entire staff of the British Museum. There is no way I and most people will be able to see these things in person. You are sharing our human history. Giving of it freely. It is truly amazing, most of these things can only be seen in person or if you are a student of the particular study. You all are contributing to the education of the world. Once again Thank you. One more thing please have your videos translated or subtext in other languages. You are unseen heroes.

These individuals consistently omit essential details, such as the fact that the wall paintings in the Green Sahara (North Africa) were created by black Africans who belonged to the pre-dynasty of ancient Kemet/Egypt. These paintings Cattle culture, black baby mummy , and Nabta Playa stands as one of the earliest known sites from the Egyptian Neolithic Period, situated in the Green Sahara approximately 14,000 years ago. The inhabitants engaged in astronomy and honoring and centered around cattle respect. It emphasizes the importance of not allowing others to narrate your history, as they had a profound respect for the ecosystem.

I didn't expect rock art of a crying cow to touch me so deeply. Nor did I expect the carved camels to be so elegant, almost like figures in a ballet.

Africa is the 🐐 of all continents let's be honest ✊🏿

The bas relief textures on those giraffes ... I mean, wow. Makes me want to go there just to see them in person.

Human civilization is vastly older and probably tremendously more sophisticated than we understand it today. I cant wait for artifacts to be pulled up from fishing in shallow waters.

those animal engravings are stunning. they are so realistic!

It's great to get this depth of detail on a subject that is more often than not simply brushed over.

Clicked because of ROCK Art. Stayed because of rock art...

Stunning video - the Crying Cows are particularly incredible.

It’s amazing how elegant modern-looking the animal reliefs of elephants and giraffes are. If you screen-printed that pattern it would make for a cool t-shirt or an eclectic wallpaper. It really humanizes our prehistoric and ancient ancestors to see their art and ideas like this. Though separated by seven or eight millennia, the person who carved those giraffes had ideas, emotions, opinions, a life, a family and a death. They had a drive to create, to record, to leave something behind for others. Deeply moving.

Excellent presentation! Fascinated by prehistoric art, yet I'm more familiar with it in the European context--so this was a nice introduction concerning Africa and the Sahara.

Thank you for this informative video. After watching this, I was lucky to have the winning bid at auction of a Neolithic Subpluvial African Flint Knife / Skinning Tool (legitimate, documented, legal). I'm an anthropology/archaeology nerd. Presumably the same people who made these amazing rock art depictions of animals also made this tool to skin those animals. It's not just a rudimentary chipped stone tool, it is a beautiful work of art, so perfect and precise. It is such a joy to hold in my hand something made by someone who lived during the time when the Sahara Desert was green. Knowing about this rock art makes it even more special. These must have been some very interesting people. Would love to learn more.

Thank you. This is remarkable & I will never see it in person.

Wow! Amazing...I need more of this

Beautiful Art!!!

This is amazing. I wish we knew more about them. I was incredibly touched thinking of how we are connected across the years with rock art.

Great video

Very beautiful… very unexpected… I though, upon the cursory consideration, that the vlog would be about the Rock music concert in Sahara to support some noble ecology cause… The colors, the flora, the fauna were so explicit! And the giraffes were so very much alive!!! Great! …Possibly, everything what was occurring, happening to me in Morocco this January 2018 were for most and in the first instance the winnowings of the Sahara winds and sands?.. Just a conjecture? Probably, not… …For one day after my Jewish birthday (on January 18th, 2018) I even became as yellow as the desert’s sand… Why was that?..

What about the writing next to the images.

No, they're Tifinagh inscriptions (look up Tifinagh), a native Berber consonantal alphabet. Mostly added in later times, dating from Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, with some being carved by Tuaregs in the last centuries and some probably older, but it's hard to ascertain.

It appears that some of the art featured is superimposed on early work that should rate far ahead of the later.

...you mean... its possible the sphinx had rain fall on it because the green period laster longer then previously believed O_O What will this do for the ones saying it was built atleast 10000 years ago?

3:04-3:15 a version of the Nazca Lines?

Holistic Grazing will bring this back.

As far as I understood, that climate change mentioning at the end was not actually about climate but such things like pollution that causes acid rains etc., which destroy the engravings?..

the ancient Egyptian funeral texts all speak of traveling west from Abydos on the river Nile , and crossing the Sahara by boat , , seems possible they speak of a time when the Sahara was a lot wetter , and the fact we can see many boats buried near the pyramids suggest that this journey west across the Sahara , following the sun , became impossible by the time of the pyramids 4,500 years ago , and slowly faded into mythological and fanciful versions of the new kingdom texts , A TIME WHEN THE JOURNEY ACROSS THE SAHARA WAS A DISTANT MEMORY . seems possible the ancient Egyptian funeral texts referred to the time 5000 years ago when it was a lot wetter than today .

The story of Africa is so sad.

At about 0.29 he mentions natural climate changes, too.

Natural climatechange? Here in Denmark we were about to create a dessert because of peasants let their livestock grass at the so called common areas. (areas between the willages ) in the late 1700 this practice was stopped. Now the oldest forest are only 200+ years old. This had though another effect that all the wet areas were drained because the peasants moved out in the common areas and were given ownership to them. No trees no rain. and desertification will accure. Nice video but i will question the dessert formation to be created without mans interference.
