In Kondoa, Tanzania, over 150 rock art sites across 2,300 km² depict hunting, music, animals, and daily life, tracing over 2,000 years of change from hunter-gatherers to agro-pastoralists. Many shelters still hold ritual meaning for local communities. #Nationalmuseumoftanzania #Archaeology #Rockart
