"Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes has one of the largest concentrations of
[...] petroglyphs, i.e. rock engravings in Africa. Most of these
well-preserved engravings represent rhinoceros, . The site also includes
six painteelephant, ostrich and giraffe, as well as drawings of human
and animal footprintsd rock shelters with motifs of human figures in red
ochre. The objects excavated from two sections, date from the Late
Stone Age. The site forms a coherent, extensive and high-quality record
of ritual practices relating to hunter-gatherer communities in this part
of southern Africa over at least 2,000 years, and eloquently
illustrates the links between the ritual and economic practices of
hunter-gatherers." -http://whc.unesco.org
