Omatako

 

I was on the lounge with standing the heat inAyikoo Beach House, also looking for something to do, on the internet.After a few hours a website said that there is a Museum I could venture to and learn history.I jumped up and struggled my fat foot into my shoes. After that I travelled to the Museum. I laid my eyes on the bell like structure building and the glass my face lit up, so will you children’s faces.

 

I wandered into the magnificent building and saw the tour, I booked beginning and the guide showed the tourists and I, the native’s cave paintings which included many paintings of the natives hunting.

 

The tour guide told us that some bushmen also called san, and they were tiny, friendly, people who would hunt and get her food.The san where superb at tracking and they can tell the difference between hundreds of plants. To this day many San still follow the old traditions in Omatako Valley.The cave paintings prove that the native’s have lived in the area for around 25,000 years. These painting would be perfect for those who love history.

 

The lady explained to us that Omatako, Namibia, Africa is a cultural heritage site.UNESCO protected and preserved the cave paintings by carving them out and then placing them in to this museum. They did this because they wanted people like us to learn about the history of these paintings and the natives.
