What were the subjects of the Egyptian rock art?.More examples of rock art were discovered in 2004 at Abu Tanqura Bahari at Al-Hosh, about 10 kilometres to the north and on the opposite bank of the river and in 2007 in Upper Egypt, Al-Ahram.
Curiously these are similar in age and style to the Palaeolithic cave art in Lascaux, France, and Altamira, Spain. One set of this rock art was discovered in 1962 at Qurta on the Kom Ombo plain, South Egypt, by archaeologists from the University of Toronto, Canada. Beside the rock drawings there is evidence of simple weaving of threads and wood.
