Zambia possesses several caves and rock paintings indicative of times past. These artistic displays reveal a large part of Zambian culture. Kundabwika Rock Painting resides in the Northern Province near Mporokoso. Mkomo Rock Shelter which sits near Chipata depicts images that date back to the Iron Age. Nachikufu Cave, considered one of the most important---particularly among archeologists, shows viewers depictions from as early as the Stone Age---potentially dating as far back as 18,000 years ago. Nsefu Cave displays some of the most detailed of the country's cave paintings and is near Kanona. Visitors must pay a small fee to enter the cave and view the paintings which date back to the Stone Age. Lastly, Nsalu Cave and Rock Painting in the Nsalu hills of Zambia is a large site that shows mysterious paintings which arguably date back to the middle or late Stone Ages---possibly some 12,000 years ago!

An incredible site to see in Zambia is a forest of fossilized tree trunks near Chirundu. From the Karoo age--or the Jurassic age--which dates back to 150 million years ago, these petrified trees remain miraculously well-preserved. The fossilized trees are coniferous trees and no longer grow in this area; however, though the current vegetation growing here is different both indicate similar climates from now to this tremendously long-ago period. Some of the tree fossils have been moved or scattered about by natural causes and some remain in the exact same place. This forest is a true wonder.

The Collier Monument is at the location of the Luanshya Copper Mine in Luanshya, Zambia. The mine is still up and running today. As copper is one of the most important industries to Zambia's economic growth, this point of interest captivates visitors to this area. This monument marks the spot where copper was first found by William Collier in 1902. He was on a hunting excursion to catch some of the area's antelope when he accidentally stumbled upon this precious metal---widely used throughout the world today.
