These pyramidal tombs are located at Al-Hatiya in Wadi al-Ajal, Fezzan, southern Libya. They are associated with the ancient Garamantes, a civilization that flourished in the region from around 50O BC to AD 700. The pyramidal tombs were built as funerary monuments, mainly from mudbrick. Archaeological surveys have identified several cemeteries of these pyramid-like tombs across Wadi al-Ajal. I photographed these during my visit to Al-Hatiya.

Aprox. 11,000-years-old. Ergun Lafli says the statue “is one of the very earliest evidences of religion and cult in the entire ancient Near East and therefore meaningful for the whole Neolithic world stretching from Spain in the west to Afghanistan in the east, including Stonehenge in the UK.”
