The rock art of Central Tanzania, the paintings and engravings left behind by man, illustrates the last fourty millennia, just one percent of the age of hominids, yet they tell us the story of man since he acquired the capacity of producing art.
When the Bantu speaking people entered this area in two main waves, some two thousand years ago, they were likely lo have poken two main and very similar dialects of one language. One hundred years ago their offsprings spoke 900 languages derived from the same basic stock. As it becomes evident in the differentiation of the rock art patterns in the latest phases, in the last few centuries, subject matter, specific beliefs and religious practices had illustrate tribal patterns.
