Ancient Rock Art at Twyfelfontein - Damaraland, Namibia The Complete Guide.
To learn more about the people who inhabited Damaraland in ancient times, pay a visit to Twyfelfontein, an arid valley whose name means “Doubtful Spring”. Here, the valley walls are adorned with ancient rock etchings, some of which are believed to be 6,000 years old. Professional guides give visitors the opportunity to walk amongst the etchings, which were carved by the area’s Late Stone Age tribes. It is thought that they used drawings of animals or animal tracks to share information about their hunting trips to other regions. Etchings depicting penguins and seals show just how far the nomads traveled in their quest for food..
