ABSTRACT

Mgomme Masoga as the functional leader of the Spring Lectures had brought together a revolutionary cadre committed to new thinking about Africa. Two discoveries in South Africa have changed the writing of African history and upset the generally held beliefs about African civilizations. The first event is Johan Heine’s discovery of what is erroneously referred to as “Adam’s Calendar” which has been written about by Michael Tellinger and must be considered among the most magnificent collection of megaliths found anywhere in the world. The second event is the 73,000 years old nine red ocher colored lines drawn on a granite flake that represents the oldest known drawings by Homo sapiens according to archaeologists studying the stone. The discoveries in sheltered caves in Brazil and in the Tierra del Fuego in southern Chile and Argentina have indicated the physical presence of African people in South America prior to the arrival of the settlers who came through Siberia and the Bering Straits.
