Ancient Human Metropolis Found in Africa

By Dan Eden for viewzone.

They have always been there. People noticed them before. But no one could remember who

made them -- or why? Until just recently, no one even knew how many there were. Now theyare everywhere -- thousands -- no, hundreds of thousands of them! And the story they tell is

the most important story of humanity. But it's one we might not be prepared to hear.

Something amazing has been discovered in an area of South Africa, about 150 miles inland,

west of the port of Maputo. It is the remains of a huge metropolis that measures, in

conservative estimates, about 1500 square miles. It's part of an even larger community that is

about 10,000 square miles and appears to have been constructed -- are you ready -- from

160,000 to 200,000 BCE!

The image [top of page] is a close-up view of just a few hundred meters of the landscape

taken from google-earth. The region is somewhat remote and the "circles" have often beenencountered by local farmers who assumed they were made by some indigenous people in the

past. But, oddly, no one ever bothered to inquire about who could have made them or how

old they were.

This changed when researcher and author, Michael Tellinger, teamed up with Johan Heine, alocal fireman and pilot who had been looking at these ruins from his years flying over the

region. Heine had the unique advantage to see the number and extent of these strange stone

foundations and knew that their significance was not being appreciated.

"When Johan first introduced me to the ancient stone ruins of southern Africa, I had no

idea of the incredible discoveries we would make in the year or two that followed. The

photographs, artifacts and evidence we have accumulated points unquestionably to a

lost and never-before-seen civilization that predates all others -- not by just a few

hundred years, or a few thousand years... but many thousands of years. 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

Where it was found

The area is significant for one striking thing -- gold. "The thousands of ancient gold mines

discovered over the past 500 years, points to a vanished civilization that lived and dug for

gold in this part of the world for thousands of years," says Tellinger. "And if this is in fact the

cradle of humankind, we may be looking at the activities of the oldest civilization on Earth."

To see the number and scope of these ruins, I suggest that

you use google-earth and start with the following

coordinates:

Carolina -- 25 55' 53.28" S / 30 16' 13.13" E

Badplaas -- 25 47' 33.45" S / 30 40' 38.76" E

Waterval -- 25 38' 07.82" S / 30 21' 18.79" E

Machadodorp -- 25 39' 22.42" S / 30 17' 03.25" E

Then perform a low flying search inside the area formed

by this rectangle. Simply Amazing!

Did gold play some role in the dense population that once lived here? The site is just about

150 miles from an excellent port where maritime trade could have helped to support such alarge population. But remember -- we're talking almost 200,000 years ago!

the site because the scope of the ruins was not fully known.

Over the past 20 years, people like Cyril Hromnik, Richard Wade, Johan Heine and a handful

of others have discovered that these stone structures are not what the seem to be. In fact these

are now believed to be the remains of ancient temples and astronomical observatories of lost

ancient civilizations that stretch back for many thousands of years.

These circular ruins are spread over a huge area. They can only truly be appreciated from the

air or through modern sattelite images. Many of them have almost completely eroded or have

been covered by the movement of soil from farming and the weather. Some have survived

well enough to reveal their great size [see above] with some original walls standing almost 5

feet high and over a meter wide in places.

Looking at the entire metropolis, it becomes obvious that this was a well planned community,

developed by a highly evolved civilization. The number of ancient gold mines suggests the

reason for the community being in this location. We find roads -- some extending a hundred

miles -- that connected the community and terraced agriculture, closely resembling those

found in the Inca settlements in Peru.

But one question begs for an answer -- how could this be achieved by humans 200,000 years

ago?

An example of what you will see on google-earth.

This is what you will see on google-earth at 25 37'40.90"S / 30 17'57.41E [A]. We are

viewing the scene from an altitude of 357 meters.

This is not a "special" location -- just one we picked at random, within the previously

described area. It shows artifacts that are everywhere and we encourage you to search the


6/17

area with this great internet technology.

The circular stone structures are obvious from this view, even though they may not be visible

from ground level. Notice that there are many very long roads [B] that connect groups of the

circular structures. If you zoom out and follow these "roads" they travel for many miles.

The fact that we can see these structures is mainly because natural erosion has blown away

the dirt and debris that has covered them for thousands of years. Once exposed to the wind,

the rocks are scoured clean and may appear deceptively new.

If you look closely at what first appears to be empty land [C], you will notice many faint

circles, indicating that even more dwellings lurk below the surface. In reality, the entire area

is packed full of these structures and connecting roads.

Why has no one notices these before?

How the Site was dated

Once the ruins were examined, the researchers were anxious to place the lost civilization in a

historical perspective. The rocks were covered with a patina that looked very old but there

were no items sufficient for carbon-14 dating. It was then that a chance discovery revealed

the age of the site, and sent a chill down the spine of archaeologists and historians!

Dating the site:Finding the remains of a large community, with as many as 200,000 people living and

working together, was a major discovery in itself. But dating the site was a problem. The

heavy patina on the rock walls suggested the structures were extremely old, but the science of

dating patina is just being developed and is still controversial. Carbon-14 dating of such

things as burnt wood introduces the possibility that the specimens could be from recent grassfires which are common in the area.

The breakthrough came quite unexpectedly. As Tellinger describes it:

"Johan Heine discovered Adam's Calendar in 2003, quite by accident. He was on routeto find one of his pilots who crashed his plane on the edge of the cliff. Next to the crash

site Johan noticed a very strange arrangement of large stones sticking out of the

ground. While rescuing the injured pilot from about 20 metres down the side of the cliff,

Johan walked over to the monoliths and immediately realised that they were aligned to

the cardinal points of Earth -- north, south, east and west. There were at least 3

monoliths aligned towards the sunrise, but on the west side of the aligned monoliths

there was a mysterious hole in the ground -- something was missing.

After weeks and months of measuring and observations, Johan concluded that it was

perfectly aligned with the rise and fall of the Sun. He determined the solstices and the

equinoxes. But the mysterious hole in the ground remained a big puzzle. One day, while


8/17

contemplating the reason for the hole, the local horse trail expert, Christo, came riding

by. He quickly explained to Johan that there was a strange shaped stone which had

been removed from the spot some time ago. Apparently it stood somewhere near the

entrance to the nature reserve.

After an extensive search, Johan found the anthropomorphic (humanoid shape) stone.It was intact and proudly placed with a plaque stuck to it. It had been used by the Blue

Swallow foundation to commemorate the opening of the Blue Swallow reserve in 1994.

The irony is that it was removed from the most important ancient site found to date and

mysteriously returned to the reserve -- for slightly different reasons.

The exact location of the calendar is listed on www.makomati.com. The first calculations of

the age of the calendar were made based on the rise of Orion, a constellation known for itsthree bright stars forming the "belt" of the mythical hunter.

The Earth wobbles on its axis and so the stars and constellations change their angle of

presentation in the night sky on a cyclical basis. This rotation, called theprecession

completes a cycle about every 26,000 years. By determining when the three stars of Orion's

belt were positioned flat (horizontal) against the horizon, we can estimate the time when the

three stones in the calendar were in alignment with these conspicuous stars.


9/17

The first rough calculation was at least 25,000 years ago. But new and more precise

measurements kept increasing the age. The next calculation was presented by a master

archaeoastronomer who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of ridicule by the academic

fraternity. His calculation was also based on the rise of Orion and suggested an age of at least

75,000 years. The most recent and most acurate calculation, done in June 2009, suggests an

age of at least 160,000 years, based on the rise of Orion -- flat on the horizon -- but also on

the erosion of dolerite stones found at the site.

Some pieces of the marker stones had been broken off and sat on the ground, exposed to

natural erosion. When the pieces were put back together about 3 cm of stone had alreadybeen worn away. These calculation helped assess the age of the site by calculating the erosion

rate of the dolerite.

Who made the metropolis? Why?It would seem that humans have always valued gold. It is even mentioned in the Bible,

describing the Garden of Eden's rivers:

Genesis 2:11 -- The name of the first [river] is Pishon; it flows around the whole land ofHavilah, where there is gold.

South Africa is known as the largest gold producing country of the world. The largest gold

producing area of the world is Witwatersrand, the same region where the ancient metropolis

is found. In fact nearby Johannesburg, one of the best known cities of South Africa, is also

named "Egoli" which means the city of gold.

GOLD MINING -- HOW LONG AGO?

Is there evidence that mining took place, in southern Africa, during the Old Stone Age?Archaeological studies indicate that it indeed was so.

Realizing that sites of abandoned ancient mines may indicate where gold could be found,

South Africa's leading mining corporation, the Anglo-American Corporation, in the 1970s

engaged archaeologists to look for such ancient mines. Published reports (Optima) detail the

discovery in Swaziland and other sites in South Africa of extensive mining areas with shafts

to depths of fifty feet. Stone objects and charcoal remains established dates of 35,000,

46,000, and 60,000 B.C. for these sites. The archaeologists and anthropologists who joined in

dating the finds believed that mining technology was used in southern Africa "during much

of the period subsequent to 100,000 B.C."


11/17

In September 1988, a team of international physicists came to South Africa to verify the age

of human habitats in Swaziland and Zululand. The most modern techniques indicated an age

of 80,000 to 115,000 years.

Regarding the most ancient gold mines of Monotapa in southern Zimbabwe, Zulu legendshold that they were worked by "artificially produced flesh and blood slaves created by the

First People." These slaves, the Zulu legends recount, "went into battle with the Ape-Man"

when "the great war star appeared in the sky" (see Indaba My Children, by the Zulu medicine

man Credo Vusamazulu Mutwa). [Genesis Revisited]

It seems highly probable that the ancient metropolis was established because of its proximityto the largest supply of gold on the planet. But why would ancient people work so hard to

mine gold? You can't eat it. It's too soft to use for tool making. It isn't really useful for

anything except ornaments and its physical beauty is on a par with other metals like copper or

silver. Exactly why was gold so important to early homo sapiens?

To explore the answer we need to look at the period of history in question -- 160,000 to

200,000 years BCE -- and learn what was happening on planet Earth.

What were humans like 160,000 years ago?

Modern humans, homo sapiens, can trace our

ancestry back through time to a point where our

species evolved from other, more primitive,

hominids. Scientists do not understand why this new

type of human suddenly appeared, or how the change

happened, but we can trace our genes back to a

single female that is known as "Mitochondrial Eve".

Mitochondrial Eve (mt-mrca) [Right: An artist's

rendition] is the name given by researchers to the

woman who is defined as the matrilineal most recent

common ancestor (MRCA) for all currently living

humans. Passed down from mother to offspring, all

mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in every living person

is derived from this one female individual.Mitochondrial Eve is the female counterpart of Y-chromosomal Adam, the patrilineal most

recent common ancestor, although they lived at different times.

Mitochondrial Eve is believed to have lived between 150,000 to 250,000 years BP, probably

in East Africa, in the region of Tanzania and areas to the immediate south and west. Scientists

speculate that she lived in a population of between perhaps 4000 to 5000 females capable of

producing offspring at any given time. If other females had offspring with the evolutionary

changes to their DNA we have no record of their survival. It appears that we are all

descendants of this one human female.

Mitochondrial Eve would have been roughly contemporary with humans whose fossils have


12/17

been found in Ethiopia near the Omo River and at

Hertho. Mitochondrial Eve lived significantly earlier

than the out of Africa migration which might have

occurred some 60,000 to 95,000 years ago.

[right] The region in Africa where one can find the

greatest level of mitochondrial diversity (green) and the

region anthropologists postulated the most ancient

division in the human population began to occur (light

brown). The ancient metropolis in located in this latter

(brown) region which also corresponds to the estimated

age when the genetic changes suddenly happened.

Could this be a coincidence?

Ancient Sumerian history describes the ancient metropolis and its inhabitants!

I'll be honest with you. This next part of the story is difficult to write. It's so shocking that the

average person will not want to believe it. If you are like me, you'll want to do the research

yourself, then allow some time for the facts to settle in your mind.

We are often made to believe that the Egyptians -- the Pharoahs and pyramids -- are where

our known history begins. The oldest dynasties go back some 3200 years BP. That's a long

time ago. But the Sumerian civilization, in what is now Iraq, is much older. What's more, we

have translated many of their history tablets, written in cuneiform and earlier scripts so we

know a lot about their history and legends.

The seal image [above] depicts the legend of the "Great Flood" which consumed mankind.

Many Sumerian legends are strikingly similar to Genesis. Like Genesis, the Sumerian legend,

Atrahasis, tells the story of the creation of modern humans -- not by a loving God -- but by

beings from another planet who needed "slave workers" to help them mine gold on their

extra-planetary expedition!

I warned that this is difficult to believe, but please keep reading.


13/17

Who made the metropolis? Why?This story, the Atrahasis, comes from an early Babylonian version of about 1700 BC, but it

certainly dates back to Sumerian times. It combines familiar Sumerian motifs of the creation

of mankind and the subsequent flood -- just like Genesis.


14/17

The story starts out with the "gods" -- beings from a planet called Nibiru -- digging ditches

and mining for gold as part of an expeditionary team. Modern humans (homo sapiens) did not

exist yet; only primitive hominids lived on Earth. There were two groups of "gods", the

worker class and the ruling class (i.e. officers). The worker gods had built the infrastructure

as well as toiled in the gold mines and, after thousands of years, the work was apparently too

much for them.

The gods had to dig out the canals

Had to clear channels,

the lifelines of the land,

The gods dug out the Tigris river bedAnd then they dug out the Euphrates. --(Dalley 9, Atrahasis)

After 3,600 years of this work, the gods finally begin to complain. They decide to go on

strike, burning their tools and surrounding the chief god Enlil's "dwelling" (his temple).

Enlil's vizier, Nusku, gets Enlil out of bed and alerts him to the angry mob outside. Enlil is

scared. (His face is described as being "sallow as a tamarisk.") The vizier Nusku advises Enlilto summon the other great gods, especially Anu (sky-god) and Enki (the clever god of the

fresh waters). Anu advises Enlil to ascertain who is the ringleader of the rebellion. They send

Nusku out to ask the mob of gods who is their leader. The mob answers, "Every single one of

us gods has declared war!" (Dalley 12, Atrahasis).

Since the upper-class gods now see that the work of the lower-class gods "was too hard," they

decide to sacrifice one of the rebels for the good of all. They will take one god, kill him, and

make mankind by mixing the god's flesh and blood with clay:

Belit-ili the womb-goddess is present,

Let the womb-goddess create offspring,And let man bear the load of the gods! (Dalley 14-15, Atrahasis)

After Enki instructs them on purification rituals for the first, seventh and fifteenth of every

month, the gods slaughter Geshtu-e, "a god who had intelligence" (his name means "ear" or

"wisdom") and form mankind from his blood and some clay. After the birth goddess mixes

the clay, all the gods troop by and spit on it. Then Enki and the womb-goddess take the clay

into "the room of fate," where The womb-goddesses were assembled.

He [Enki] trod the clay in her presence;

She kept reciting an incantation,

For Enki, staying in her presence, made her recite it.

When she had finished her incantation,She pinched off fourteen pieces of clay,

And set seven pieces on the right,

Seven on the left.Between them she put down a mud brick. (Dalley 16, Atrahasis)

The creation of man seems to be described as a type of cloning and what we would today

consider in vitro fertilization.

The result was a hybrid or "evolved human" with enhanced intellect who could perform the

physical duties of the worker gods and also take care of the needs of all the gods.


15/17

We are told, in other texts, that the expedition came for gold and that great quantities were

mined and shipped off the planet. The community in South Africa was called "Abzu" and was

the prime location of the mining operation.

Since these events appear to coincide with the dates of "Mitochondrial Eve" (i.e. 150,000 to

250,000 BP) and appear to be located in the richest gold mining region on the planet (Abzu),some researchers are thinking that the Sumerian legends may, in fact, be based on historical

events.

According to the same texts, once the mining

expedition ended it was decided that the

human population should be allowed to

perish in a flood which was predicted by the

atronomer of the "gods." Apparently, the

cyclical passage of the home planet of the

gods, Nibiru, was going to bring it close

enough to the orbit of Earth that its gravitywould cause the oceans to rise and flood the land, putting an end to the hybrid species --

homo sapiens.

According to the story, one of the "gods" had sympathy for a particular human, Zuisudra, and

warned him to construct a boat to ride out the flood. This eventually became the basis for the

story of Noah in the book of Genesis.

Did this really happen? The only other explanation is to imagine that the Sumerian legends,

acknowledging life on other planets and human cloning, were extraordinary science-fiction.

This in itself would be amazing. But we now have evidence that the mining city, Abzu, is real

and that it existed in the same era as the sudden evolution of hominids to homo sapiens.

Just think about this for a while.

Temples of the African Gods

My new book "Temples Of The African Gods" is now in print and will be available in South Africa, UK

and USA from about Feb 2010. It is a follow on to It deals extensively with the ancient stone ruins,

their link to Adam's Calendar (Enki's Calendar), the ancient roads, terraces, ancient mines, and what

we now call the FIRST PEOPLE who lived on Earth. It presents evidence that this was the first

civilisation, from where the Sumerians and Egyptians got most of their knowledge and symbolism.

It is the first ever scientific look at the ancient ruins of southern Africa, and presents groundbreaking

new information. It is a real privilege being able to work on these ruins and being able to walk

through thousands of them in the mountains of South Africa. We reach some startling conclusions

about who these ancient people were, what they did, how they did it and why they disappeared.

What is most fascinating about this new discovery is that for the first time we can pull together the

different strands of disjointed knowledge, from religious, esoteric, and historic circles and fit them

together. It is astonishing how the dark mysterious past suddenly makes a lot more sense.

We are about to start numerous scientific experiments at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan

University to get more accurate dating on many of the artefacts, predominantly, stone tools. I see

this only as the humble beginning, as we hope to launch several archaeological digs, and invite

international experts to get involved. Please support the MaKomati foundation

(www.makomati.com ) to help us protect and preserve some of the more important ruins and do

more research. Until now, all the research has been funded by Johan Heine and myself, from the

sales of my previous books, Slave Species of god and Adam's Calendar.


17/17

We urge international donor organisations with an interest in ancient history to get involved and

help speed up the research.
