In the Old Testament Bible, Jews tell a story of when they stumbled on the crumbled walls of the ancient city of Jericho, which had prospered thousands of years earlier, It's been labeled the oldest city in the old world. That may no longer be true.
IN AN area of South Africa, about 150 miles inland, west of the port of Maputo the remains of a huge metropolis that measures, in conservative estimates, about 1500 square miles has been discovered. It's part of an even larger community that is about 10,000 square miles and appears to have been constructed from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE!
The region is somewhat remote and the curious stone circles here have often been encountered 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, a local 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. " says Tellinger
