World Heritage Committee Description:

Located in a strange lunar landscape of great geological interest, this site has one of the most important groupings of prehistoric cave art in the world. More than 15,000 drawings and engravings record the climatic changes, the animal migrations and the evolution of human life on the edge of the Sahara from 6000 BC to the first centuries of the present era. The geological formations are of outstanding scenic interest, with eroded sandstones forming ‘forests of rock’.
该遗址所在地环境独特，如同月球表面，极具地质学研究意义，是世界上最重要的史前岩洞艺术群之一。15,000多幅绘画和雕刻作品记录了公元前6000年至公元初几个世纪撒哈拉沙漠边缘地区的气候变化、动物迁徙和人类生活进化。当地的地质构成形态有着极高的观赏价值，被侵蚀的砂岩形成了“石林”。
