The Bahi Rock-Art Sites or Bahi rock paintings are rock art located at three sites in the Dodoma region of Tanzania. These white paintings are believed to be products of the Wamia people, who occupied the region before the Wagogo people (the current residents). The paintings, which depict cattle, human figures, stools, gourds, a bird, and an arrow, among other symbols, were supposedly executed during important occasions such as funerals. The Wagogo people, though not fully aware of the original significance of the paintings to the Wamia, have continued to use the sites as sacred locations for rain-making ceremonies. The Bahi paintings are estimated to be at least 340 years old based on the genealogy of the Bahi chief in 1929, which revealed the estimated time of his ancestor Kimanchambogo'

  • The Bahi Rock-Art Sites or Bahi rock paintings are rock art located at three sites in the Dodoma region of Tanzania. These white paintings are believed to be products of the Wamia people, who occupied the region before the Wagogo people (the current residents). The paintings, which depict cattle, human figures, stools, gourds, a bird, and an arrow, among other symbols, were supposedly executed during important occasions such as funerals. The Wagogo people, though not fully aware of the original significance of the paintings to the Wamia, have continued to use the sites as sacred locations for rain-making ceremonies. The Bahi paintings are estimated to be at least 340 years old based on the genealogy of the Bahi chief in 1929, which revealed the estimated time of his ancestor Kimanchambogo's arrival in the area. The white painting method is generally associated with Bantu-speaking farming populations. (en)
  • Las pinturas rupestres de Bahi son un conjunto de pinturas rupestres situadas en tres sitios de la región de Dodoma, en Tanzania.​​​​ Se cree que estas pinturas fueron realizadas por el pueblo wamia, que ocupó la región antes que el (los actuales residentes).​ Las pinturas, que representan ganado, figuras humanas, calabazas, un pájaro y una flecha, entre otros símbolos, fueron supuestamente ejecutadas en ocasiones importantes como los funerales.​​ El pueblo gogo, aunque no es plenamente consciente del significado original de las pinturas para los wamia, ha seguido utilizando los sitios como lugares sagrados para la ejecución de las danzas de la lluvia. Se estima que las pinturas de Bahi tienen al menos 340 años de antigüedad, según la genealogía del jefe bahi de 1929, que reveló el tiempo estimado de la llegada de su antepasado Kimanchambogo a la zona.​ El método de la pintura blanca se asocia generalmente con las poblaciones agrícolas de habla bantú.​ (es)
