In Kamberg, South Africa, cave art was found behind a water fall, its a cave drawing of a antelope and two barely visible human like figures. The location of the cave drawings is important because water is important to all life and it was important to the people that lived in the cave behind the water fall. To day they are  forgotten an vanished people, only leaving vibrant paintings beind on the rock walls of their shelter. hundreds of these paintings have been found and could be dated up to 7-8 thousand years old. Scientists believe that these figures were created by the Bushmen while they were in a trance states, and that the paintings reflect the people's deep reverence for the beauty and power of the natural world that surrounded them.
