The Sahara is the world's largest hot desert, spanning the entire northern part of Africa. Yet it hasn't always been dry -- archaeological and geological research shows that it has undergone major climatic changes over thousands of years. Rock art is one of the best records of the life of past peoples who lived across the Sahara. It often depicts extraordinary images of life, landscape and animals that show a time when the Sahara was much greener and wetter than it is now.
