Good evening. I am very pleased to be here this evening to talk about some paintings I have discovered. I went to Africa because there was a tribe that lived there, and they could have made some paintings. I want to point out the fact that I was not alone, because I went with an expert group of anthropologists. I had to search a lot. We rented cars, and we had a driver who knew the area very well. It is a well-known fact that the tribe liked to climb, so after hours of climbing, we arrived at the caves. We found the paintings in good condition, and they were incredible.

To sum up, the paintings have helped to know better how the tribe “Kanachova” lived.

Well, thank you very much for your attention. Good night.
