Ga-Mohana Hill and Rock Shelters

3D ModelNoAI

This 3D visualisation of Ga-Mohana Hill, Kuruman, South Africa, was created as a collaborative effort with the intention of representing the multiple uses and beliefs associated with the hill and rock shelters. Myths of the great snake, Noga ya Metsi, are associated with the hill, and many people in the local community regard the place with mystery, secrecy and fear. Church groups use the hill and shelters for prayer sessions. Ga-Mohana Hill was used by people 105,000 years ago, information determined by excavations by a team of archaeologists.
