被誉为“沙漠卢浮宫”的措迪洛山是世界上岩石艺术最集中的地区之一。在卡拉哈里沙漠(Kalahari Desert)仅10平方公里的地方就保存了4500多幅绘画作品。这个地区的考古发现按年代顺序记载了至少10万年间的人类活动和环境变化。恶劣环境中生存的当地居民十分敬畏措迪洛山,将其作为对祖先神灵的膜拜之地。
With one of the highest concentrations of rock art in the world, Tsodilo has been called the ''Louvre of the Desert''. Over 4,500 paintings are preserved in an area of only 10 km2 of the Kalahari Desert. The archaeological record of the area gives a chronological account of human activities and environmental changes over at least 100,000 years. Local communities in this hostile environment respect Tsodilo as a place of worship frequented by ancestral spirits.
