Keresés

In the Southwest of Libya in the mountain area of Fezzan there were discovered very interesting and partly curious rock engravings. The engravings must be very old. Today this area is a stone dessert, where human life is impossible. This picture must have been made when living there was possible, long time ago. One of this engravings shows a female person. She wears a pointed cap, Amazons on Greek representations wear very similar caps. Furthermore this figure is armed with a bow – a popular weapon of the Greek Amazons.

The conformity with the Greek Amazons is extremely striking, if it would not be certain that this picture was found about 1000 kilometers south of the Mediterranean coast in the heart of the African continent, you would suppose that these pictures belong together.

Is there in fact something true about the story that once upon a time there had lived Amazons in Africa, long before the Amazons at the Thermodon became famous?
