Timehri International Airport is on the right bank of the Demerara River, 26 miles south of Georgetown, the capital. The word Timehri literally means "Rock Painting" and is the name given to the rock paintings or engravings found in the interior of Guyana, particularly near falls and rapids. Legend has it that the Timehri art was the work of the Amerindian folklore god "Amalivacar", who visited Guyana at the time of the flood. Anthropologists, however, consider that the paintings date back to the 14th century. A mural done in the Timehri Motif by famous Guyanese artist, the late Aubrey Williams, adorns the outer wall of the airport's V.I.P. Lounge.
