摘要

在刚果中部，岩石艺术遗址从金沙萨延伸到大西洋海岸，从安哥拉北部延伸到刚果(布)南部。初步研究显示，刚果王国北部有一个连贯的实体:洛沃山脉，目前居住着刚果亚群之一的恩迪布人。民族学、历史学、考古学和神话学观点的比较证实，刚果的某些仪式和象征方面是在基督教之前出现的，涉及到宇宙进化论、人类学或与死亡的神话起源有关的叙述。研究岩石图像可以让我们更好地理解图像，神话之间的联系，以及它们对今天刚果人生活的影响。

Lovo, rock images, and mythology in the Land of the Kongo

In Kongo Central, rock art sites stretch from Kinshasa to the Atlantic coast and from northern Angola to southern Congo-Brazzaville. Preliminary research revealed one coherent entity situated north of the Kongo kingdom: the Lovo Massif, presently inhabited by the Ndibu, one of the Kongo subgroups. Comparison of the ethnological, historical, archaeological, and mythological points of view confirms that certain Kongo ritual and symbolic aspects are pre-Christian and refer to cosmogony, anthropogony, or narratives associated with the mythical origin of death. Investigating rock images allows us to better understand the link between the images, the myths, and their repercussions on the life of the Kongo today.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
