Rock paintings by the San Bushmen are scattered over all of southern Africa; it is estimated that some 15,000 rock art sites are known and possibly as many await discovery. While providing information about the history of these fascinating paintingsâ€”considered one of the greatest cultural treasures of humankindâ€”this account alsoÂ offers insight into their possible interpretations by taking the magnificent Linton panel in the Iziko South African Museum in Cape Town as a starting point. Filled with beautiful illustrations,Â thisÂ recordÂ sheds light on San rock art in general and makes sense of the baffling complexity and strangeness of the art form.
