I wonder why after 2 or 3 replies the topic shifted on z. sitchin. Is it done on purpose not to analyze the structures at waterval, mpamalunga, and machadodorp?
Because the basic claim is based on something Sitchin made up. What do you feel needs to 'analyzed'?

The fact that the structures are there, that no books about african archaeology contain anything about them... or maybe their possible function, their alignment...
ZSitchin never wrote anything about these structures, only Tellinger and an italian author did, so why do you discuss about ZS's theory instead on concentrating on the structures themselves?

The latter was best known for his theories of human origins involving ancient astronauts, known as the Anunnakis, who'd originally settled in Mesopotamia, in search of gold but who it is suggested, through Sitchin's translations of ancient Sumerian cuneiform texts, moved on to Southern Africa where gold was to be found in greater concentrations

Why does science refuse to taake into account all the cultural
memories of a flood ? And the absence of any memories of our origins?
Which again points to a world wide disaster that interupts mankinds
lineage to his origins. A world wide catastrophe that just about
wiped out mankind completely. Explains this amnesia perfectly.
But it's GOD and we don't want to admit that do we ?
Someone might have to change their lifestyle !

At first there was only a great void, Ginnungagap. Eventually a region of mist and ice, Niflheim, was formed in the North and a region of fire, Muspellsheim, was formed in the South. The great world-tree, Yggdrasil, reached through all time and space, but was perpetually under attack from Nidhogg, the evil serpent. The fountain of Mimir, source of hidden wisdom, lay under a root of the tree. Niflheim came into contact with Muspellsheim, and the fires melted the ice, which yielded Ymir, the Frost-Giant with a human form. From Ymir's sweat came a race of Giants, so that a huge cow (Audhumla) was created to feed them.
One day the cow licked the ice and hair emerged, on the next day a head, and on the third day Buri emerged, fully formed. Buri begot a son, Bur, who in turn had three sons: Odin, Vili, and Ve. These three were a new race, not Giants but gods. They banded together and murdered Ymir. Most of the other Giants drowned in Ymir's blood, which created a great sea. From Ymir's body the three gods made solid land, the earth, and from his skull they made the heavens. They then created a race of dwarves from the maggots that fed upon Ymir's body. This was followed by the creation of the first man and the first woman. They shaped the man from an ash tree and the woman from a vine.

How do you explain the construction and precise alignment of the Adam's Calendar for a civilization living in the dark ages? And how it coincidentally aligns with the Great Pyramid of Giza?
Says who? there has been a ton of research on stone structures from S. Africa to Nigeria to Morocco as well as their correlations to astronomical observations. I'm sorry that nobody has come to the similar conclusion that these stones were used in some bizarre sonic exercise but there has been research done, especially by German and S. African teams. Here is one paper I came across and will look for some others when I get a moment. Oh... and as for why bring up Sitchin in regards to Tellinger, how can you not? ALL of Tellingers work is completely based on Sitchin's. There is no disconnect between them other than a cognitive one.

Did you even look?
A quick look finds...
The visibility and invisibility of herders' kraals in southern Africa, with reference to a possible Early Contact Period Khoekhoe kraal
Marothodi: The Historical Archaeology of an African Capital
The origins and spread of Pre-Colonial Stone-walled architecture in Southern Africa
Edited to add - I re-read the last one and found it mentioned this specific claim, this clip comes from the second page

so when did they learn how to remove gigantic stones from the ground and precisely shape them to build those amazing structures we see still standing? You guys love to claim the technology was very simple yet conveniently leave out the part why no one can replicated it using those same simple tools. There had to be some sort of infrastructure to produce such things and you fail to point out where that went.

seriously Hans it's one thing to say someone bashed a chunk of stone off another, but it's way past irrational to say that's how they accomplished what we find in the physical evidence. There has got to be a more mechanically sophisticated, logistical system of engineering that we still can't find any trace of.
And you claim they just fit it in between times of basket weaving and gathering wild grains? that's technically laughable.

why should science take into account mythology? name me one mythological story that has any sort of unambiguous evidence and isn't just arguing that since a place exists the story must be true too.

The freaking Ancient Aliens tripe has successfully spawn a new batch of misguided nincompoops (they lack the critical thinking ability or have no inclination to use it). I like people that go against the mainstream but the main problem remains the same the inability to think for themselves or have doubts about what others say.
10/12 to one ration of real information to fringe on most subjects - real information is now easier to find but a lot still lies behind paywalls and costly books.
Aliens theory have less traction now along with related UFO ones
Atlantis as a theory has greatly weakened and is now more commonly called the 'lost civilization', etc.
Having lost the main argument fringe now looks at details
one has debunked the Piri Reis map for the 312 time
