Egypt - The entrance of the Swimmers Cave
The history of discovering such a priceless art started with Count Almásy, the Hungarian aristocrat renowned as one of the early explorers of the Gilf Kebir. In 1933, Almásy was the first modern-day man to set eyes on drawings of cattle, human figures and that of swimmers in Gilf Kebir. No wonder the cave was named The Swimmers Cave... © Lucio Andreetto - See the Egypt map with a complete picture set.
