Ancient Civilisations Of South Africa

Date:

23 March 2010

Venue:

Somerset West Primary

Corner of Andries Pretorius Street and Dirkie Uys Street.

Details:

Long before the Egyptians ever saw the light of day, an advanced civilisation of humans lived in southern Africa, mining gold. These were also the people who carved the first Horus bird, the first Sphinx, built the first Pyramids and built an accurate stone calendar right in the heart of it all. Adam’s Calendar is the flagship among millions of circular stone ruins, ancient roads, agricultural terraces and thousands of ancient mines, left behind by a vanished civilisation which we now call the FIRST PEOPLE.
