3,000-year-old Tifinagh inscriptions discovered in Béchar
Several millennia ago before our era, Algeria experienced the first vestiges of its history. The rock paintings of Tassili have acquired worldwide fame, while the Roman ruins of Tipaza are notable witnesses in the north of the country. Today, a recent archaeological discovery has aroused great interest in the Algerian scientific community. Three new archaeological sites containing remains have recently been unearthed in Béchar, southern Algeria.
Three new archaeological sites have been discovered in Béchar, with “Tifinagh” inscriptions. Experts from the local culture and art directorate made these findings. The first site, called “El Mnassba”, is located 40 km north of the Kenadsa region. The inscriptions discovered at this site are dated to a millennium BC according to reports. The second site, called “Chabka”, is located 30 km from Kenadsa. Archaeologists have discovered rock carvings of animals there, such as figures of elephants and bovids. The third site, located in the Lahmar region, 8 km northwest of the capital, includes a Muslim cemetery and a series of burial mounds. The remains found at this site date back several centuries.
