Contemporary research suggests that the rock paintings found in southern Africa are the work of the San people. About 2400 engravings/paintings have been recorded at Twyfelfontein,about 80km west of Khorixas. Twyfelfontein has recently been declared a UNESCO world heritage site where the largest collection of rock paintings in southern Africa is found.
The rock art entails,amongst other,paintings of unidentified antilope,gemsbok,springbok,ostrich,zebra,rhinoceros and humans. |
