"The aim of this study is to explore the rock-art of the Central Eastern Desert and
has three objectives: to outline the petroglyphs' distribution, to date them, and
to explain who created them and for what purpose. It focuses in detail on the animal,
human and boat images within the geographical and chronological context in which they
were created; the landscape of what is now the Central Eastern Desert, and the Naqada,
Pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egyptian cultures."--Publisher's website
