THE OLDEST MAN-MADE STRUCTURES ON EARTH? OLDEST THE MAN-MADE STRUCTURES EARTH? Ancient stone ruins and a sophisticated clifftop calendar found in southern Africa could be at least 100,000 years old and are evidence that this region was home to the world's first civilisation. Adam's Calendar and the Hidden Ruins of Southern Africa cholars have told us that the first civilisation on Earth emerged in a land called Sumer some 6,000 years ago. Recent archaeological findings suggest that the Sumerians may have inherited some of their knowledge from an earlier civilisation that emerged many thousands of years earlier in southern Africa, the cradle of humankind. More than 100,000 years ago, early humans built a stone calendar tha precedes all other man-made structures found to date. This discovery is so astounding that it requires a true paradigm shift in our approach to ancien uman activity, as it takes us closer to the emergence of the earliest humans on planet Earth. This "African Stonehenge", which we call Adam's Calendar, has created for he first time a link to the countless other stone ruins in southern Africa and suggests that these ruins are much older than we thought. The complex tha’ inks Waterval Boven, Machadodorp, Carolina and Dullstroom covers an area arger than modern-day Johannesburg and has emerged as the largest and most mysterious ancient city on Earth. The discoveries of petroglyphs o winged discs and carved dolerite statues of giant birds, some resembling the awk-headed god Horus, suggest that the prototype Sumerian and Egyptian civilisations had their origins in southern Africa thousands of years before hey emerged in the north. Seven years of research by a group of independent scientists and explorers as delivered what may be the crucial missing elements in our understanding of the lives and development of early modern humans. Their discoveries have been released in the book Adam's Calendar, co-written by this author and Johan Heine (Zulu Planet Publishers, 2008). However, the research has also shown hat these stone settlements represent the most mysterious and misunderstood structures found so far. It points to a civilisation that lived and dug for gold in this part of the world for thousands of years. If this is in act the cradle of humankind, we may be looking at what's left of the workings of the oldest civilisation on Earth. Johan Heine manages the largest group of fire-fighters and fleet of fire- ighting aircraft in Africa. As a pilot, he has been flying over the mountains of Mpumalanga for over 20 years. He instantly took a keen interest in the housands of strange circular stone ruins that lie scattered throughout this region and he started photographing them. In consulting various so-called experts on their origins, he was informed that these are merely the remains of “cattle kraal" left behind by the Bantu people when they migrated from the north around the 14th century until about the 18th century. But it was an air crash involving one of his crew that brought Johan to discover the mysterious monolithic circle which we now call Adam's Calendar and put the entire mystery of these ancient ruins into perspective.
