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!

I took a quick look with Google Earth "about 150 km west of port Maputo, Mozambique" -- and didn't see anything like in the images. That is some rugged country!!

Got to get back to work on election nullification, now -- but... maybe later...

A neat trick considering that according to most anthropologists I have read homo sapiens as a species has only been around for ~100-150K years. So this city predates modern humanity. Hmm, something seems a bit off.

I would suggest that these folks knew a lot more about their environment than modern scientists, like Diane Fossy, for example.

They just did not know the Latin names of everything.

A 200,000 year old “city”? Yah,sure! A 200,000 year old group of creatures barely able to walk upright? Maybe!

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Zecharia Sitchin author of the Earth Chronicle who wrote about it in one of his first books way back in 1976. It is the place from where most of our civilization originated, but not life as such, as this is an altogether different story.

Cro-magnon were the first true humans. And they were the ancestors of the euro- nearasian moderns. Africa was populated by monkey people at the time. The “out of Africa” theory is crap.

Interesting story, but Archaeology-world.com site SUCKS the big one:

Hi-res photos are obligatory, not the little thumbnails they post as teasers.

Perhaps they should up their budget for website space...

The 200,000-year-old city found in Southern Africa may rewrite history

This pretty well confirms what Zecharia Sitchin wrote in one of his first books part of the Earth Chronical series titled The 12th Planet. The place where our civilization started, but not life as such as this is an altogether different story. They came from a far away place in search for gold as it was needed for heir survival, once again confirmed by the most recent findings.

Not to mention that he symbol of the ancient Egyptian Ankh was found amongst the engravings in stone, in other words the Egyptians continued and picked up from where this ancient civilization left off. Too bad Zecharia Sitchin passed away a few years ago as he would have been delighted to see his research confirmed. He was a brilliant man and I had the privilege of corresponding with him a few times regarding some of my questions and was humbled that he even took time to respond.

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 kilometer metropolis was believed to have been built between 160,000 and 200,000 years ago! 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.

Was glancing at an experiment’s prototype the other day, which had cavities bearing a striking resemblance to an Ankh in three dimensions. Perhaps an Ankh has no relationship to any religious symbology, but is a legacy representation of something that has become distorted myth.

Radar from space has established dry river beds under the Sahara Desert’s sands at a considerable depth. There are structural elements which suggest remnants of human habitation. The Nile River valley perhaps is a remnant of the Sahara?

Dolemite? Those must be my people.

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.
————————

Are you implying that there was global warming that precipitated this phenomenon of ice melting and ice bergs receding? Amazing, absolutely amazing, if true!
