Suluntah

Suluntah lies in the uplands south of Cyrene, near an ancient rock-cut sanctuary known as Slonta. Its cave bears reliefs of animals, human figures and a large serpent; columns and an arched entrance were cut into the limestone. The sanctuary is often associated with the religious traditions of the indigenous Libyan peoples. It remained in use into the Roman period, when local and Greek religious practices met in the countryside around Cyrene.
