The location of Laas Geel provokes a real sense of "stepping back in time". Seeing the cave/rock artwork of our ancestors makes one realise that, in the bigger picture, 10000 years is nothing at all.

Very impressive. Very emotional place when you think how talented people were even 10000 years ago.😊

This place doesn't get enough publicity, which would also generate more income so it can be cared for properly. The paintings are stunning.
