Authors : Bennour Abdelhak . Benkheira Ahmed .

Abstract

The Djelfa region possesses numerous archaeological sites that document the presence of humans during the prehistoric and ancient eras, much like many other regions. Notably, these sites were discovered during the colonial period through visits by various scholars. These cultural records require preservation and renewed attention to foster new interpretations of these rock panels and inscriptions. The central question is: What is the cultural and historical significance of these inscriptions, and what is their relationship to those recorded in other parts of the world?
