Rock Art Carving In Lope
It was first discovered in Gabon in 1987 when the site of Elarmekora was found. Since then, a systematic search for rock art petroglyphs on the numerous rock outcrops along the valley of the Ogooue river has resulted in the discovery of numerous new sites. Preliminary studies suggest that these petroglyphs are contemporary with the Iron Age, being chronologically close to the beginning of the Christian Era. There have been discoveries of a form of open air rock art in the upper and middle stretches of Gabon’s Ogooue valley, where they are found engraved on ovoid boulders and flat outcrops. Previously this form of art was only known from the borders of the Congo Basin: the Bidzar petroglyphs in Cameroun (Mariiac 1981:212), the Calola, Bambala and Capelo rock art assemblages in the upper valley of the Zambezi in Angola (Ervedosa 1980:445), the engraved rocks of Kwilu site in Lower Congo (Nenquin 1959), together with Mpatou, Lengo, Bambari and Bangassou sites in the Central African Republic (Bayle des Hermens 1975: 343).
