@JoC adding more to what you’ve seen before
This might be better aimed at archaeologists @miked
Am I thinking correctly?
A number of plant species found on the Cape of Good Hope coast are thought to have mind-altering properties - the San people lived here and it is thought that the plants we found were the same that these people may have cultivated.
Some observations posted have interesting comments
San people
San hunter-gatherer society in the Later Stone Age | South African History Online.
Strandloper a member of a Khoisan people who lived on the southern shores of southern Africa from prehistoric times until the second millennium AD.
I’m including images of the rock shelters which we think they may have used, and the view from the slopes - ideal for spotting game,
Moonflower (unlike any I’ve seen in gardens)
Dream Root
At Bonteberg (view and site)
.
Slangappelbos (Afrik: slang = snake).
Images of the Oliphantsbos shelter
View from the shelter
This view looks towards Bonteberg where the other site is located, at the summit
