Unesco World Heritage Site - Tsodilo Hills (Botswana, Africa)

Suddenly and drastically rising from the the heart of the Kalahari desert – the stone face turning a copper shading in the withering sun – the attractive intensity of Tsodilo Hills both charms and beguiles. There is a certain mysticism about the Slopes that promptly strikes the guest.

Without a doubt for the general population who inhabit the Slopes – the San, the first tenants, and the Hambukushu who have occasionally possessed the slopes for as far back as 200 years – Tsodilo is a hallowed, enchanted place where genealogical spirits stay. In prior circumstances, their precursors performed religious customs to request help, and for rain. They likewise put depictions on the stone face; and their significance and imagery remain a puzzle even to today.

Investigating the three fundamental Slopes – Male, Female, and youngster – is a trip into vestige. Archeological research – continuous for as far back as 30 years – gauges that Tsodilo has been occupied for as long as 100 000 years, making this one of the world's most established verifiable locales. Earthenware, press, glass dabs, shell dots, cut bone and stone devices go back 90 000 years.

Shake works of art are almost wherever – speaking to a huge number of long stretches of human inhabitation, and are among the district's finest, and generally imperative. There are roughly 4 000 taking all things together, containing red finger works of art and geometrics. It is relatively sure that most depictions were finished by the San, and some were painted by the peaceful Khoe who later settled in the region. The red depictions were done predominantly in the primary thousand years Advertisement.
