The African nation of Uganda has many examples of history
that were not written. Cave paintings were the peoples main technique. The most
famous of these caves are the Nyero. This area is a major tourist attraction
for the nation of Uganda. The paintings date to before 1250 A.D and can give viewers
information about the culture during the time period. The art was documented in
1913 and it is likely that hunter-gatherers created the paintings. Pottery was
also found in the Nyero caves. In 1972 these caves became a Nation monument and
was protected from weather and animals. Another major art feature in Uganda is
Dolwe island. The paintings discovered are thought to be from the Twa people. The paintings are red in color and are shaped
like circles and other figures.
