Natural Stone in Namibia. The Mirabib Rock is an "Inselberg" in the namib desert. It rises in the middle of a desert plane. There have been some ancient shelters of the busmen found.
Stanley Kubrick filmed here part 1, "the dawn of mankind" of the movie "2001- A Space Odyssey".
It´s an awesome place in the middle of nowhere.
