Prehistoric Rock Engravings at Twyfelfontein, Namibia 2017

The Prehistoric Rock Engravings at Twyfelfontein are said to be at least 5,000 years old, made during the early Stone Age. The Engravings or Petroglyphs depict animals and hunters and are said to be the work of early Bushmen or Damara/Nama people. The area is home to more than 2,500 Engravings and was Namibia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

Twyfelfontein means uncertain spring in Afrikaans or jumping waterhole in the Damara/Nama language. It was home to early hunter gatherers and then by Khoikhoi herders. Each group used it as a place of worship and the carvings were said to be engraved during shamanistic rituals. After World War 2, white Afrikaans farmers settled in the area, but they left in 1965.
