In South Africa, about 150 km west of port Maputo, Mozambique, a giant stone city has been discovered. It became possible to determine the age of the site by measuring the erosion rate of the dolerite.
The 1500 square kilometre metropolis was believed to have been built between 160,000 and 200,000 years ago!

of course!!! this is where the Anunnaki kept there halfbreed slave labor for the gold mines!! don’t you folks read?
Skeptolopolis
It looks like a typical African kraal (pen). Nothing significant about it.
It was a nice place before BLM and FelchiFa moved in
No doubt that the rocks are that old, but they cannot prove the structures making up the 'metropolis' are even close to that age.
Not so long ago, Troy was considered a myth. Then the ruins of that ancient city were unearthed. Atlantis is considered a myth, and if it existed, it existed some 12,000 years ago before it was wiped out by a catastrophic flood. A flood that would correspond to one of the Ice Ace Meltwater Pulse events.
Ice Ages occur on 100,000 year cycles. Ice sheets a mile thick will scrape clean and pulverize any civilization that might exist. If there are ruins of some truly ancient civilization, they would likely be found in an equatorial region where glaciers never reached it.
There are sites in North and South America in which artifacts made by someone have been reliability dated to over 220,000 years ago. One in California is 130,000 years old.
This find may go a ways to explaining who made the tools found in the Americas.
The rest of the story:
...
The ruins consist of huge stone circles, most of which are buried in the sand and can be seen only from the air or with the help of satellite imagery.
This ancient town is thought to be part of a larger network of 10,000 square kilometers. The organized nature of this ancient community and a road network connecting it to the terraced agriculture suggest that the metropolis was home to a highly advanced civilization.
The geology of the site is quite interesting too because of the numerous gold mines located in the area. According to researchers, this ancient civilization could have practiced gold mining.
What is quite curious, no one has ever wondered about the origin and the age of these stone circles before, despite the fact that local residents have encountered them multiple times.
In 2007, Michael Tellinger, researcher and writer passionate about human origins, and Johan Heine, a local fireman and pilot, decided to explore the site. Later, the results of their research inspired Tellinger to write a book titled Temples Of The African Gods.
According to Tellinger, the evidence they found suggests a completely different perspective on the history of humankind.
According to the conventional version of human history, the first civilization on Earth was Sumer and emerged in southern Mesopotamia about 6000 years ago.
But what if there was another, earlier civilization that was then lost in the mists of time? “The photographs, artifacts and evidence we accumulated, point towards a lost civilization that has never before been and precedes all others - not for a few hundred years, or a few thousand years ... but many thousands of years,” he said.
Tellinger believes that this ancient African metropolis is the oldest structure built by the human on Earth. In fact, he thinks that the Sumerians and the Egyptians inherited knowledge from this advanced civilization.
This hypothesis is based on the fact that there are carvings of the Egyptian Ankh on the rocks of the ancient city.
How could there possibly be an image of the Egyptian god thousands of years before the Egyptian civilization emerged? “These discoveries are so staggering that they will not be easily digested by the mainstream historical and archaeological fraternity, as we have already experienced. It will require a complete paradigm shift in how we view our human history,” Tellinger said.
Tellinger’s findings raise more questions than answers, but we can hope that this incredible ancient city will attract more researchers in the future and that one day more light will be shed on this lost civilization and the unknown aspects of human history in general.
That article in you link was in North America and about the find at Calico in the Central Mojave Desert. This article is in Africa.
That simply says the information has not been peer reviewed - like in Nature or Science periodicals.
Peer review generally turns out to be someone’s ox is being gored, if what is being reviewed does not reflect the current conscientious thinking or meme. This one would definitely have a lot of horn punctures. However, no one advances anything if no ox gets gored.
According to the conventional version of human history, the first civilization on Earth was Sumer and emerged in southern Mesopotamia about 6000 years ago.
WHAT?
I know better than that
Me too.
Doesn't look like a city to me.
Just a bunch of low stone walls, much like you see in New England farms.
Could be anything from huts to cattle corrals to arms of animal traps.
Fake black news
No doubt all residents were kings and queens.
I do know that.
Claims of ancient human sites are not that rare.
(Was my point)
(Also, did you notice the endorsement (Calico Site) from Louis Leaky)
Was this before or after the Third Age?
Homo sapiens is said to have existed in the present form for 200,000 years. If so, what were people like us doing all that time? Bumping around the forests? I don't think so. I think they were building civilisations etc.
So some folks take some old rocks. pile them up and that makes the town date 200,000 year old? My house has a stone foundation. Does that make it 2000 years old?
“...was believed to have been built between 160,000 and 200,000 years ago!”
Yeah, maybe, maybe not.
