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!

#25 The civilization fell when the lions were able to get inside and eat all the civilized people.
There is a chariot they found that was pimped out. The radio in it cost more than the chariot! 😀
You gotta stop spending so much time out in the sun, dude.
Didn’t George Harrison hang out with this dude in the ‘60s ?
“You gotta stop spending so much time out in the sun, dude.”
I miss the good ol’ beach days. Of course, that’s why the dermatologist and I are best buds now.
I don’t deny the possibility of prior advanced human civilizations - with their remains eaten up, over the eons, by the dynamic and ever changing earth landscape.
But I also think the human mind and its operational “computer” (the brain) are close enough to the same, even going far back in time, in every civilization. It sees pretty much the same earth, the same seasons, the same heavens - and all their operations - that we see.
Whether standing on a “flat earth” or standing on a giant orb, the universe above, it’s local members the moon and sun as well, move “around” us in their recognized cycle.
The first part of the ankh - the orb (and also head) - is the most common symbol of humanity, and quite naturally so. It takes no prior civilization for that to be the case. It comes from the nature of our physical place in the universe, and the universal human observance of that.
The rest is about where we have to stand, down here on earth’s surface. So the ankh is also like a standing figure.
And nearly ALL religions posit the two parts of the ankh as universal to humans. Life “above us” in some “heaven” which is believed is either our birth right when we die, or a life we can obtain by living as the religion says we should.
That the orb and the standing figure would be joined and be a symbol by many human civilizations to me takes no prior civilization. They come from a common humanity and the universe all humans physically occupy, the universe all humans observe.
The dating is garbage. These types of structures are known from about 800 years ago.

LOL ... they’re everywhere they’re everywhere!
Pinging both GGG lists, because this story and is garbage, as is the website "Archaeology World". I'm getting some pings caught up, sorry for my absence.
Saw a documentary the other day that alleged a major die-off circa 12,800ya.
So is your blatant racism.

My pleasure!
The article says the estimate was based on the erosion rate of the rock dolerite. It does not say who made the estimate, what dolerite was measured, or if any other kinds of measurement were proposed or tried. Personally, I am interested in the widely spaced extensive “irrigation ditches” covering an area more than 300 miles square west and south of the lower Okavanga delta. I tried to find photos that previously existed at Google, but did not succeed. Look for them on Google Earth. Large number of parallel lines spaced about 1 mile apart, over large area. ridiculed as parallel sand dunes, but I think they are too regular, why being hidden from study?
How do we know that some relatively advanced stone age culture did not develop before the last ice age started 125,000 years ago? Or survived until the Toba eruption 74,000 years ago caused a major slide in temperatures.
See my comment #98 regarding the huge irrigation area south and west of the Okavanga Delta. Then look at Google Earth.
