Description:

The uKhahlamba-Drakensbe rg Park covers 938 sq. miles of area, including part of the Drakensberg, the highest mountain range in Southern Africa. This area has between 35,000 and 40,000 works of San rock art. The works are difficult to date, but the oldest are about 3,000 years old. There are also paintings as recent as European contact. The San people existed in the Drakensberg at least 40,000 years ago; the last of the San disappeared from the southern Drakensberg around the 1870s. The 'Marching Men' procession is made up of men only, carrying bows, arrows and quivers. Since they are migrating east, to the sea, this panel can be interpreted as seasonal migration of the San during winter times when food was more scarce and groups split up into smaller bands and moved to the coast to focus on marine resources.
