Kuruman

The Kuruman Caves have some bushman paintings but the most amazing part is the explanation of humans using fire described in the adjoining museum.

It shows when Europe used fire. It then shows how much earlier China used fire. Then it showed the earlier, much earlier time when fire was used in this cave. As you look at the cave you can see the soot on the walls and roof and as you look at the excavation you can see the layers and layers of soot that provide the proof of fire being used through the eons. When you read a myth about how fire was discovered or provided by the Gods, this is where that myth took place.
