Apollo 11 Cave

The Apollo 11 Cave is an archeological site in the ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park of south-western Namibia, approximately 250 km (160 mi) southwest of Keetmanshoop.

[2] However, the cave was given its name by German archaeologist Wolfgang Erich Wendt (1934-2015) in reference to Apollo 11's then-recent return to Earth.

The subject of paintings ranged from simple geometric patterns to bees, which are still a nuisance to the unwary traveler.

The engravings, which are mostly difficult to see without angled light, consist of depictions of animals as well as simple geometric patterns.

Researchers who returned to the cave in 2007 found the site had been "severely vandalized" and appealed for government protection of the area.
