Geometric rock art in Lake Victoria Region (Tanzan

WHS Score 0.0 Votes 0
The Geometric rock art in Lake Victoria Region of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda is a serial transnational proposal comprising 12 components covering 73 individual rock art sites. They all contain finger-painted red geometric motifs made by Pygmy hunter-gatherers, one of thus far underrepresented East African rock art traditions. The paintings, made on granite outcrops, are 1,000 – 5,000 years old. They are still revered for their fertility aspects.
