Reported Rock Art Damage in Libya







A member of the Coalition to Preserve Rock Art regularly visits the major Rock Art sites in Libya (he and his wife live in Germany). We sometimes tend to focus on damage in North America, but these photos might interest you. The damage was reportedly done by a driver / guide who had recently been fired by his company. He was apprehended but the damage is probably not repairable.

I was impressed by the quality of the Rock Art and disturbed by the damage. Note the pictures attached.
