Apollo 11 Cave rock art, oldest figurative art in Africa. Small inset is the original image, the larger image has been minimally modified for clarity
The Apollo 11 Cave is an archeological site in the ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park of south-western Namibia, approximately 250 km (160 mi) southwest of Keetmanshoop. The name given to the surrounding area and presumably the cave by the Nama people was "Goachanas".[2] However, the cave was given its name by German archaeologist Wolfgang Erich Wendt (1934-2015) in reference to Apollo 11's then recent return to Earth.[3]
