This topic is certainly one that most interests me. Does anyone know of any good books on this topic? I've read Fingerprints of the Gods and Forbidden Archeology. Fingerprints has been largely disproved and Cremo mostly uses very old cases from the late 1800s, though there is some good info too. There just seems to be a wealth of evidence on the subject that the mainstream is overlooking. Adam's Calendar seems pretty interesting.

This is fantastic, it must appear to all now that we are living in a dark age of human knowledge.

Now, we do all realise that the source for all of this is pretty fringe...a wiki search (not science, I know) says this about Tellinger:

Tellinger published his first book Slave species of god in 2005. The work is the result of a 25-year obsession with the pseudoscientific writings of Zecharia Sitchin, who idiosyncratically translated ancient Sumerian clay tablets and theorized about the early creation of man by the Anunnaki. Tellinger also frequently publishes articles on the topic via his website en.wikipedia.org...

I'm not sure that I'd consider the correspondent Dan Eden/Gary Vey a trusted source either, as one who dabbles on the ufo abduction/Sumerian prophesy/2012 fringes, apparently unencumbered by either academic or journalistic methodology.

So flame away about me attacking the source...I'm not doubting the reality of the site...merely the conclusions drawn.

Oh, and the great city of Zimbabwe is no mystery. Black Africa had complex societies as well.

WOW!!!

South Africa probably being the cradle of humankind isn't realy anything new, BUT that discovery in the OP seems to be a huge smoking gun!!

Brilliant. Never heard of this find. Zechariah Sitchin is probably thrilled to have learned about this

I have to say I find the dating to be highly speculative at best and not really consistent at all with what we know about the evolution of human society. The structures themselves, from what I can see, are not very advanced and don't seem to show any evidence of masonry and stone carving, mathematics, measurement or land surveying that we know was so important in civilizations like Egypt. Personally, I feel the circular huts are more consistent with ancient mammoth bone structures and very early construction.

So far they seem to have found little to actually label this a "metropolis" except for the many structures, there seems to be little to no city planning, there are no obvious public buildings, no obvious irrigation or sewage system. One would except a city of this size to leave behind a significant amount of garbage and more than likely would have a city dump where we would find tons of animal parts, broken tools etc.

I also have a problem with their assertion that this is evidence of a "human slave species". If the referenced Atrahasis story is from 1700 BC, and it's Sumerian original is only slightly older, how can we call it a reliable source for something this article is stating happened OVER 150,000 years before?

Why would these advanced space faring slave masters have such trouble digging a few ditches and extracting some minerals? How is digging ditches and mining gold so hard for such a powerful race? Would it really be that much more efficient to create an entire race of people to go and dig the gold out with their hands? This requires one to assume that the Slave Masters took the time to breed, feed and shelter all these people, teach them to mine, teach them about gold, teach them to use tools etc etc

I would be more impressed if I felt these structures were more advanced and less consistent with a primitive culture, if we saw some evidence of science or engineering, if we saw something on par with Egypt's level of knowledge. I'd also be more impressed if there wasn't so much speculation and science fiction involved.

Also, why do these types of people feel that saying something is "Older than the Giza Pyramids" will shock us?? There are a lot of things older than the Giza pyramids and if you haven't heard of the Sumerian civilization you certainly shouldn't be speculating on archaeology.

and appears to have been constructed -- are you ready -- from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE!

Just amazing, the exact time they say the anunnaki where here making humans, I am soo exited...

Monkeys build it ??

As well - what was the civilization doing there??? - "GOLD Mines" all around!! - Hmmmm WOW - Just WOW -

Yes, among things.
What is intresting also, is the fact that 'adam and eve' are believed to be from africa you know, another coincidence that shouldnt be mentioned too often i suppose.
They estimated A&E to be around 150-250.000 year old, the remains that is, found back in the early 90's if Im not mistaking..

Correct me or if I'm wrong, the terra papers sounded just like this.,

If you havn't read them, I think you may enjoy them. Quick read for us Non-thinkers.

So this huge complex has just been sitting there all this time and only just come to mainstream attention? But like Shadowflux said 'the Pyramids are far more impressive!

Man.... History in school all those years ago has been proved wrong over and over and now this!!!

I still reckon there's more to find in this World..... like more underground cities or cities deep in the ocean.... and what about this 'Holy Grail'? I reckon Australia has tons still to be discovered coz that Continent is huge!! Also when the Ice melts off the Antartic i'm sure there will be something there....
