Tchitundo-Hulu, Rock art site near Namib Desert, Angola
The archaeological complex includes four distinct locations featuring engravings and paintings spread across granite formations in southwestern Angola's Namibe province.
First documented in 1953 by José Camarate Andrade França, the site contains rock art dating back to early first millennium BC according to radiocarbon analysis.
The engravings depict numerous circle patterns, human figures, animals, and geometric shapes painted in red or white across walls and shelters.
Located 137 kilometers east of Moçâmedes city, the main site sits at 726 meters elevation with over 180 preserved rock art pieces.
Environmental factors such as thermal actions and surface layer deterioration currently affect the preservation of these ancient engravings.
