Dhaymoole, Archaeological cave site in Sahil province, Somalia.

The cave walls display numerous white drawings featuring camels, quadrupeds, and geometric symbols arranged in distinct patterns throughout the space.

Excavations at the Dhaymoole site revealed rock art dating back to the third millennium BC, indicating early human settlements in the Horn of Africa.

The rock drawings in Dhaymoole depict various extinct animals of the region, including elephants and giraffes, along with astronomical representations of the sun and moon.

The archaeological site stands at 789 meters above sea level and remains open to public visits through local guide arrangements.

Multiple circular patterns and undeciphered symbols cover the cave surfaces, presenting researchers with ongoing interpretative challenges regarding their meanings and purposes.
