This unique find was discovered by a group of Italian researchers in a cave located between the Gilf al-Kebir plateau and the Nile Valley. The ocher image represents a newborn, animals and a star in the east. The scene resembles a nativity scene, but the age of this rock art predates the biblical account of the birth of Jesus.

Geologist Marco Morelli noted the similarity of the image to a nativity scene, but noted its antiquity and predating the biblical story of the birth of Jesus. In addition, the rock art also contains elements reminiscent of Jesus symbols, such as the headless lion associated with the Lion of Judah.
