Are these piles of rocks in the Richtersveld (about two or three kms from the Orange River) ancient rock sites or the products of the urge of successive modern visitors to keep adding to the assemblage without any idea why? I suspect it’s the latter. Still, whether ancient or modern, the impetus to mark a territory, to strengthen the sense of place – and what a place it is!- is common, part of our humanity.
