Cave of Swimmers

The Cave of Swimmers is an ancient rock art cave located in the New Valley Governorate of southwest Egypt. It contains Neolithic pictographs and is named due to the depictions of people with their limbs bent as if they were swimming. They are estimated to have been created as early as 10,000 years ago.
