St. Augustines Bushman Paintings Cultural Heritage

Описание: The San or Bushmen were indigenous people in Southern Africa who painted what they saw in their surroundings. This video and pictures were taken at St. Augustine’s, Modderpoort, Free State, South Africa.

It is an amazing place for me, being able to be so close to art produced by human being's thousands of years ago. They deserve to be protected by us all you cannot touch the paintings because the oil in our hands could damage them. In my opinion they should be enclosed in fencing so they can still be viewed but not touched. Art is only art if someone is looking at it so not letting people see them, in my opinion, would be wrong with the proviso they need to be preserved for future generations. Over hundreds of years I would think the ones in my video may be lost due to the shifting landscape but I think they will be around for some time.

The current custodians of the paintings told me they have been fully documented in a book.
