The whale symbolizes that the first inhabitants of Tsodilo hills had been to the coast in Namibia where they saw the sea. Remember there were hunters nd gathers.
I've just finished 17 out of 26, but couldn't find 18. I guess I'll have to wait :( p.s. You are living the dream. Wow! I want to go over there and rub the Kalahari in my face. lol
Uluru will give you the same impression and you can feel it is a sacred site. You will see it soon. I am curious how you will capture this amazing site.
That's a birthing site. I interpret that as a place where babies are born. The star is a clean birth mat made of reeds, the solid circle means pregnant and the hollow circles mean birth and new arrival. The hands represent the new borns. It's either that or aliens...... Didn't you know I am also an expert anthropologist too Andrew ?......
Hi Andrew, those drawings that could not be identified looks almost like elephant tracks, and if the hand prints symbolises a hunt or stalking action, maybe they were depicting an elephant hunt that was "seen" during a trance? or an actual elephant hunt? I know there aren't any elephant at the hills today, but there might have been at the time when the river was flowing. Just thinking "out loud"
The kind of ignorance exhibited by wearing shoes in such a sacred space is blatant. The appropriation of indigenous artifacts by naming "panels" after foreign visitors to the place is deeply offensive. The fact that someone emphasized that the Gods of this place be honored and have that intentionally overlooked is dismissive, yet you wonder at the air of magic the area possesses. This footage disgusts me and you should all be ashamed. These are significantly ritualistic sites that you have managed to reduce to a travelers expedition. Please wake up before its too late. Have some respect. Try to cultivate the soul in you.
So us wearing shoes is a problem? If that is so, then why do the San Bushmen of the area not mind in the slightest? You do not represent them, and trying to, makes you a judgemental fool.
that my friend could have been a BBC production....what a great short...loved it!!
I love the blouse the lady (11:19) is wearing.

It's real treat to see those Bushmen I always wondered if their way of life is still in existence in this day of computers.
