Rock carvings, Twyfelfontein, Namibia
Bildnummer 14233325
| Herd of animals engraved in rock at Twyfelfontein, a site of ancient rock engravings in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. It consists of a spring in a valley flanked by the slopes of a sandstone table mountain that receives very little rainfall and has a wide range of diurnal temperatures. The site has been inhabited for 6, 000 years, first by hunter-gatherers and later by Khoikhoi herders. Both ethnic groups used it as a place of worship and a site to conduct shamanist rituals. In the process of these rituals at least 2, 500 items of rock carvings have been created, as well as a few rock paintings. | |
