SAN BUSHMEN ROCK ART:

It is thought that South Africa has the richest treasure trove of rock art in the world. This ancient legacy of the San people (Bushmen) can be viewed in national parks and nature reserves all over the country.
The San followed the seasons and migrations of game over thousands of years, living in harmony with nature and leaving no trace of their presence other than these remarkable stories on their rock shelters.
The mysterious techniques of how the paintings were created, their symbolism and also interpretation, have been the subject of much debate. What is clear is the deeply spiritual significance these paintings represent for the San. We can get a glimpse of their way of life, the animals they encountered and their shamanic activities.
Certain animals were special to the San, in particular the Eland, which is shown as a power figure. Half-human and half-animal figures are also drawn. There are many pictures of the Eland, Reedbuck, Hartebeest and Lion, and also of San and fighting. However, there are few depictions of plants -plants usually fell in the domain of women, so it is presumed that the authors of these paintings were men.
Pre-historic rock art in South Africa has been dated back to thousands of years ago, which means that the San people roamed the land over a great age, their ways relatively unchanged until settlers from faraway places came to stay and farm. A painting discovered at Blombos Cave 300km from Cape Town) is thought to be the oldest known instance of San and human art, dating to around 73,000 years ago. Areas of great significance with regard to San rock art include the Cederberg and the Drakensberg Mountains. Around 20 000 rock paintings have been recorded over a wide area at 500 "shelters".
Later San rock art began to illustrate contact with European settlers. A famous example is of a sailing ship, known as the Porterville Galleon (found 150 kilometres inland in the Skurweberg Mountains near the town of Porterville). The picture is thought to represent a Dutch ship and have been created in the mid-17th Century. Later examples of colonial subject matter include women wearing European-style dresses, men with guns, and wagons and carts made during the 19th Century.
