Breunig, Peter

Painted stories : by Peter Breunig in collaboration with Gabriele Franke A guide to the Rock Art of AiAiba (Anibib Farm), Erongo Mountains, Namibia / - Windhoek : Kuiseb Publishers, 2023 - 227 pages: figures ; 24 cm.

Includes a bibliography and an index

This book is extremely important and valuable because, as Breunig writes, “there is a simple reason for urgency in rock art research. Rock art is exposed to natural and human influences which are inexorably leading to its disappearance. In many cases on AiAiba, the paintings are already so faded that they can barely be perceived with the naked eye. For now, they can still be recovered using digital technology. But here, too, we will eventually reach a point beyond which they are lost forever.” The many photographs, digital drawings and descriptions in this book will preserve the rock paintings for generations to come.
