This is rock art found in the Egyptian desert. The location is being kept secret. The art could date back to the Holocene period when the area had an abundance of water - since the art is 50 ft. up on a mountain.The desert art, which was pecked or sometimes incised into large rock faces, depicted elephants, ostriches, giraffes, and many hunting scenes. But perhaps strangest of all was the abundance of boats depicted in the art. After all, this area was far from any body of water, says Brewer, a University of Illinois professor of archaeology and director of the Spurlock Museum in Urbana

What's a 12 foot statue of Ramses II doing out in the middle of the desert, well now, from the its presence there, and the rock art depicting ships with oars, it seems that the Sahara was circa 1500 B.C. a vast series of often interconnected lakes, but wait, the Ice Age ended supposedly at circa 10000 B.C., so what gives?

An article on Australian rock art. Some of it is 40,000 yrs. old. Also a link to the Bradshaw art, which we have looked at before.
The earliest Australian art does not seem to feature boomerangs, although the later stuff does, suggesting that it is truly an Aussie invention.

That's great Marduk, ocean-going high-prowed vessels with banks of oars from supposedly two thousand years before the "Old Kingdom" Egyptians built the buried boats (which had been used at sea) at Giza, and two thousand years before the Canaanites were plying the oceans in their high-prowed ocean vessels? That's two thousand years Marduk, are you kidding me?
And what culture in the Caucasus was building high-prowed ocean-going vessels with rows of oars at supposedly 7000 B.C., and where was their main port? And if they were building these vessels at 7000 B.C., why did it take over 4,000 years for the Egyptians to learn about it?

not everyone like you regards the egyptians as excellent sea farers
they even had to hire the phoenecians to sail them round africa
and the one time they made a short trip along the nile they couldnt stop talking about how great they were
like i said Jim
if you actually do some real reseacrh you'll see why everyone is laughing at your hypothesis
it really is quite amusing
like you don't even know about Gobustan or Geghama
how poor is that
