While more research is needed, there is evidence that our African Ancestors performed rituals as long as 100,000 years ago. Red ochre and signs of burial rites were found in the Blombos Cave of South Africa, according to the Journal of Human Evolution
Nearby, etched ostrich eggs found at Diepkloof shelter date back more than 50,000 years, showing a persistent culture with recognizable spiritual practices.
In short, it can be said that African Spirituality is as old as 100,000 years.
