Decadent Fontaine is a very mysterious place, red sandstone two or three thousand years ago on the traces of rock paintings clearly visible. This rock art, which originated in the dry season, was left here because of the lack of water and food, which allowed ancient people to gather around the springs, perform some kind of religious ritual to pray for rain, hunt successfully or disappear from illness, etc.

    It is the world’s largest rock sculpture concentration and the first protected site in Namibia to be recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Culture. The stone wall sculptures and murals preserved by the Busuman people in the Stone Age depict the history and far-reaching footprints of Namibia, which have been more than 6,000 years since the decadent Fontaine has found more than 2,000 rock sculpture murals so far. It takes a long time to get here to the bumpy sand and stone roads, all the way to trek, although the road is difficult, but this decadent scenery is really attractive, the rich red and brown under the blue sky, more beautiful than the master's palette, the site is full of geological taste, The decadence here probably means deserted, like the silence of the mountains, the name is really full of charm, both cultural charm and vicissitudes, although a desolate and sudden, but the mural is really fascinating, the age is long but lively, It seems that the distant, jingling sound of the valley is heard again.
