Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes
Twyfelfontein is home to one of the largest concentrations of rock art in Africa. Most of the well-preserved rock art depicts rhinos, ostriches and giraffes. The site also includes six paintings of human and animal footprints, and rock shelters with figures carved in red ochre. Objects from two areas date back to the Late Stone Age. The site documents the ritual practices of hunter-gatherer communities in this part of southern Africa over a period of at least 2,000 years, with extensive and high-quality documentation, and eloquently illustrates the connection between ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers.
