Getting a new African UNESCO site is always wonderful, getting a new African UNESCO written and sent from there is even better. Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes is one of the two UNESCO sites in Namibia. The card was sent by Marcel.
Twyfelfontein officially known as ǀUi-ǁaes, is a site of ancient rock engravings in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. This site has one of the largest concentrations of [...] petroglyphs, i.e. rock engravings in Africa.

Most of these well-preserved engravings represent rhinoceros, . The site also includes six painteelephant, ostrich and giraffe, as well as drawings of human and animal footprintsd rock shelters with motifs of human figures in red ochre. The objects excavated from two sections, date from the Late Stone Age. The site forms a coherent, extensive and high-quality record of ritual practices relating to hunter-gatherer communities in this part of southern Africa over at least 2,000 years, and eloquently illustrates the links between the ritual and economic practices of hunter-gatherers. - in: https://whc.unesco.org
