Libya Rock Art A study of prehistoric rock art in libya. http://www.libyarockart.com
Extractions: This site is devoted to the presentation and discussion of the rock-art of the Wadi al-Ajal, in the Fezzan region of south-west Libya. Several hundred engravings have so far been identified here. This rich concentration of rock-art spans the phase from at least 7 000 years ago until the present - a critical period of time which encompasses major transitions in human economy, culture and ideology from hunting and gathering to pastoralism, then to agriculture and more recently to industrialisation. The rock-art provides fascinating evidence of how human groups were living during this period, what their relationships with their environment were and what they considered of importance and value. Because rock-art is deliberately placed at specific locations in the landscape, a powerful relationship can often exist between rock-art sites and natural landscape features. This study explores this relationship and attempts to express the visual character of the rock-art locations through a series of photographic panoramas which provide a physical context for the engravings. Note: The photographs on this website open a larger version if clicked on. The panoramic images are very large, and may take some time to open.

WASHINGTON (CNN) Col. Moammar Gadhafi has agreed to let international weapons inspectors enter Libya and says his country will dismantle its weapons of mass destruction programs, President Bush said Friday. For more on the military implications of this announcement, CNN's Lou Dobbs spoke with Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr. STARR: Well Lou, here at the Pentagon [there is] always a heavy dose of reality and caution when any of these types of announcements come.

[It has] a research and development community, people who have expertise on these problems. One of the key questions will be, where are those people, what other countries may they have gone to, what countries may they be helping?

Yes No VIEW RESULTS UNITED NATIONS (CNN) Britain has introduced a draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council that would completely lift U.N. sanctions against Libya. The move is part of a deal to compensate families of the 270 victims of the 1998 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Under the deal, Libya has agreed to pay $2.7 billion in compensation and will in turn have the sanctions imposed as punishment after Tripoli was accused of involvement in the bombing lifted. France has called for a similar settlement for victims of the 1989 bombing of a French UTA airliner and is threatening to use its veto power to block the British resolution. British U.N. Ambassador Emyr Jones Perry, who introduced the draft resolution, says he is hoping for an early decision.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) The head of the U.N. atomic watchdog agency said Tuesday he was confident that Libya would be declared free of all traces of its nuclear weapons program within three months, saying Tripoli was helping fill in blank spots in the probe of the international black market. Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, spoke after meeting with Abdul Rahman Shalgam, the Libyan foreign minister, at the end of two days of talks on the progress being made in scrapping Tripoli's nuclear arms program. "We are very pleased with the results of my meeting," ElBaradei told reporters, praising Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and other officials for "complete openness and transparency" since Libya decision in December to rid itself of its weapons of mass destruction programs.

PARIS, France (CNN) France has praised the signing by Libya of a $170 million compensation deal with the families of 170 people killed in a 1989 airliner bombing. The move to compensate families of those killed when the French UTA flight was bombed over the Niger desert is now expected to clear the way for wider relations between the Libyan government of Colonel Moammar Gadhafi and France. Victims came from 17 countries, but France, with 54 dead, had the heaviest casualties. French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin hailed the declaration on Friday as "an important moment" for bilateral relations. "We want there to be a progressive normalization of relations between the EU and Libya," de Villepin said at a joint news conference in Paris with his Libyan counterpart.
