Dabous Giraffes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dabous Giraffes is a neolithic petroglyph by an unknown artist. Completed sometime between 9000 BC and 5000 BC, the giraffe carvings were first documented by David Coulson in 1997 while on a photographic expedition at a site in Niger, Africa.

The carving is 20 feet in height and consists of two giraffes carved into the Dabous Rock with a great amount of detail. The Bradshaw Foundation is an organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of this petroglyph.
