Central Africa is dominated by vast river systems and lakes, particularly the Congo River Basin. The rock art of central Africa stretches from the Zambezi River to the Angolan Atlantic coast and reaches as far north as Cameroon and Uganda. Termed the ‘schematic rock art zone’, it is dominated by finger-painted geometric motifs and designs, thought to extend back many thousands of years. Eastern Africa, from the Zambezi River Valley to Lake Turkana, consists largely of a vast inland plateau with the highest elevations on the continent, such as Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) and Mount Kenya (5,199m). The rock art of eastern Africa is concentrated on this plateau and consists mainly of paintings that include animal and human representations.
Some of the most prominent rock art in #Kenya is on Mfangano Island, rising 300m out of Lake Victoria near the Kenyan shore. It features abstract patterned paintings thought to have been created between 1,000 and 4,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers. ‬

Our #AfricanRockArt project is cataloguing 30,000 years of rock art. You can now explore stunning rock art from Central and East Africa, with new images now available at africanrockart.britishmuseum.org
