On tonight’s edition of the weird and wonderful we are exploring one of the most fascinating and ancient cultural treasures of southern Africa: Rock Art paintings. These incredible artworks, etched into the landscape by the region’s earliest inhabitants, offer a unique window into the lives, beliefs, and stories of people who lived thousands of years ago. From the majestic depictions of animals to intricate human figures and spiritual symbols, Rock Art tells a rich narrative of a world long past. Joining me to uncover the significance of these paintings, what they reveal about our ancestors, and why they remain so important in understanding our shared heritage today is my guest Dr Ndukuyakhe Ndlovu, Professor in the department of Archeology and Anthropology at the University of Pretoria who has a strong interest in Rock Art.
