And some of the random designs we saw in Namibia was *EXACTLY* like stuff you see in northern England and Scotland. It was surprising to see it next to glyphs of lions, rhinos and penguins.
Do they still have penguins in Namibia? What a great image that combination of animals produces!

No penguins in Namibia now (as far as I know) but not all that far south in South Africa they do http://www.flickr.com/photos/71451816@N00/sets/72157602525057311/ so they may well have been in Namibia in the past! Depends on the sea currents - there are cold currents where they are in SA.

They still have sealions (aka fur seals) in Namibia for similar reasons http://www.flickr.com/photos/71451816@N00/sets/72157602522359980/

Have posted it before, but here's the quite British looking stuff in Namibia that Jane mentioned http://www.flickr.com/photos/71451816@N00/1633388618/in/set-72157602522359626/

(Hope the links work!)
