Mysterious Giant-Headed Figures Discovered in Tanzanian Rock Shelter
Originally Published 2 years ago — by ScienceAlert
Archaeologists have discovered an elaborate rock art panel in Tanzania, featuring three anthropomorphic figures with oversized heads. The site, named Amak'hee 4, also depicts animals and human-like figures. The figures with buffalo-like heads are particularly noteworthy, as they resemble similar figures found in other rock art panels in the region. The culture of the Sandawe people, who inhabit the area, does not include such motifs, suggesting a different interpretation. The discovery provides insights into the ancient hunter-gatherer societies in the region and may shed light on the meaning of these mysterious figures.
