    Taghit Rock Engravings are a group of ancient petroglyphs and rock engravings found in the Taghit desert on the border of the Grand Erg Occidental in Béchar Province, Algeria. These engravings date back to the Neolithic period, 10 thousand years ago, and they depict many animals that lived in that historical era.
