Protohistory - Cave painting of Kef el Blida

This program highlights one of the most fascinating testimonies of Tunisian protohistory (around 800 BC). The illustration reproduces a rock painting discovered at Kef el Blida, depicting a rowing boat loaded with warriors or sailors. This subject illustrates the early importance of navigation and maritime trade on the Tunisian coasts well before the Punic heyday. The message focuses on the Mediterranean opening of Tunisia and the technical mastery of the Libyco-Berber populations of the time. It is a tribute to the country's maritime roots, symbolizing a civilization already structured and capable of projecting its power on the waves.
