Evidence of the Gods (9 page)

There are several thousand of these rock drawings in Australia, made thousands of years ago by the original inhabitants, the Aborigines. In more recent times, some of them have been traced with colored chalk to make them more visible.

Half the globe lies between the Algerian Sahara and the Kimberley mountains in Australia. Yet in the Tassili N’Ajjer massif in the Sahara, petroglyphs were discovered among hundreds of others that actually require no introduction. The first thing we recognize is the plump heads, then the puffed up suits. Because these rock drawings are very difficult to photograph, we sprinkled them with water to make the contours visible.

What stared back at us from the rock face here is described by archeologists as the “round head period.” The largest figure measures 8 meters in height. Its discoverer, the French specialist in prehistory Henri Lhote, described it spontaneously as “the great Martian god.”

What was going on inside these Stone Age people, dressed in furs or naked, that they wanted to show something like this to posterity?
