In this episode Dr. Alan Garfinkel talks with Peter W. Merlin - an acclaimed author, researcher, rock art explorer, adventurer, freelance journalist, and historian. Merlin has extensive and personal knowledge of rock art resources world-wide and is the author of books for both general and technical audiences. Merlin has appeared in more than a dozen television documentaries on the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, and his public speaking includes numerous presentations.

Merlin will trace his personal background in archaeology, anthropology, and rock art studies and will do a quick overview of his world-wide travels in rock art visitation, discovery, and documentation. We will focus in on his visits and reflections on the UNESCO world heritage rock art sites in the Tassili n'Ajjer - a vast desert plateau in southern Algeria, stretching from the borders with Niger and Libya and covering an area of 72,000 sq. km. Since their discovery, more than 15,000 petroglyphs and paintings have been identified representing 10,000 years of human history and environmental change.
