Wadi Bakht

Libya / al-Kufrah /
 archeological site, neolithic age
in stone age times, the valley was blocked by a natural dam of sand, which still is to be seen today. The dam created a lake and stone age people settled at the shores. When the dam broke, the stone age settlers obviously had to leave the valley. The site was explored by the German Heinrich Barth Institute Cologne. Be careful when entering the site west of the dam and do not take anything away!!
