Khorixas, unofficial capital of the former Damaraland. In close
proximity is the Petrified Forest, where a cataclysmic event millions
of years ago deposited giant tree trunks which subsequently turned
to stone. Today the Namib's living fossil plant, Welwitschia mirabilis,
grows among these prostrate fossilised trunks.
Twyfelfontein (meaning doubtful fountain), to the west of Khorixas,
resembles a large, open-air art gallary. This treasure house of
rock engravings left by stone-age artists is regarded as one of
the richest collections of rock engravings in Africa.
