Human Metropolis - Amazing Discoveries

Amazing discoveries have been done in areas of South Africa about 150 miles inland toward the west end of the port of Maputo which is the remains of a huge metropolis measuring about 1500 square miles andis apart of an even larger community that is around 10,000 square miles. It seems to have been constructed from 160,000to 200,000 BCE.

The region is remote and the circles which have been encountered by local farmers arepresumed to be made by some indigenous people in the ancient times though it is not known who could have made them or how old they were. When it was first encountered, the ruins were considered to be of cattle corals made by nomadic tribes such as the Bantu people who moved towards the south and then settled on the land around 13th century.

There is no record of previous history of the ancient civilization on who would have been capable of building this densely populated community. Moreover no efforts were done to investigate and learn about site since the scope of the ruins was not really known. Some people like Cyril Hromnik, Johan Heine, Richard Wade, together with a few others discovered and believed that these stone structures seemed to be the remains of ancient temples and astronomical observatories of lost ancient civilizations which dates back to several thousands of years.

Well Planned Community

The circular ruins seem to spread over a large area and can only be appreciated from space or through modern satellite images though most of them have been eroded or have been covered by soil movement due to the weather or farming. Some seem to have survived the conditions to reveal their great size with some original walls still standing almost 5 feet high and more than a meter wide in place.

From observation of the entire metropolis, it indicates that this seems to be a well planned community which had developed by highly evolved civilization and the number of ancient gold mines indicates the reason of the existence of the community in this area. There are roads, which extend a hundred miles connecting the community and terraced agriculture, which resemble those found in the Inca settlements in Peru.

Discovery of Heavy Patina on Rock

This was a major discovery in itself with remains of a huge community with around 20,000 people living and working together and dating the site was a big issue. The discovery of the heavy patina on the rock walls indicated that the structures were quite old but the science of dating patina is only just being developed which would make it controversial.

Carbon 14 dating of these things as burnt wood would introduce the possibility of these specimens being from recent grass fires that are common in that vicinity. With thousands of ancient old mines that have been discovered over the past years, it indicates that the people of this civilization probably dug for gold in this part of the world for thousands of years and that this area could probably be connected to gold.
