Plate 10

Plate 10
This magnificent Neolithic rock painting, dating from the third millennium B.C., or earlier was discovered by the explorer Henri Lhote in the Tassili n’Ajjer Mountains of the central Sahara Desert. Among their herds, nomads appear to engage in a drinking ceremony. A man (kneeling at left), helped by possibly his father or an elder (seated at left) drinks from a large decorated jar using long straw. From encampment to encampment, cereal beer and its technology made their way from east to west across Africa. Image @ Pierre Colombel/CORBIS
