What you can experience here
On a rock you can find two secret rock engravings. This spot is at the Brandberg and is freely accessible.
The rock engravings were created without the use of metal tools. It is possible that the rock slabs were still softer than they are today, as they were not yet so heavily covered by a hard layer, the so-called desert varnish.
Numerous quartz splinters have been found near the rock engravings in this region, suggesting that the tools used to work the rocks were made from this material.
