This story has kept me searching and thinking and they are things that disturb me.
First, the fact that there are no other sources than this Tellinger. I am surprise that no academics has ever written anything or has shown any interest in that most extraodinary claim. Furthermore, the pseudo metropolis is presented not in a really scientific way, but with a whole package including his Sitchin's inspired theory, "Slave Specy" and the tour operator, the museum, the accomodation:
"Join Michael and Bruce, hiking through the mountains hiking through history. Stay over night at the various self catering cottages he has to offer and spend a healthy weekend Trout Fishing, Mountain Biking, Horse Riding and of course hiking on a guided tour where you will be shown the various ruins in the region that are thousands of years old."
No way is there another hypothesis possible, we are given the whole interpretation with the information about the existence of that "discovery".
Furthermore, the original article comes from a 'fringe' website. That is not to say that it may not be worth reading, but that one would expect a more serious handling of such a claim, an objective depiction of the findings which wouldn't include the Tellinger subjective story.
A picture of Tellinger is often shown depicting him against a wall in Makomati. I took a serious look and my present conclusion is that this wall is not 75000 years old, and even less 200000. Tho I have no credential in archeology, I have seen stone walls ever since I was young and have been in Ardèche, a southern area in France. Most of the French houses had been build with stone, we even have megalithic stones everywhere.
In many other places people have taken the stones out of the ground to cultivate, it was an difficult work done thru the generations. But it happens that wall collapse, that the stones are corroded by water, heat, cold, the implantation on it's surface of lychens etc... That they break. It could be that the stones in this part of South Africa are hard to erode, but the fact is that if the stones had been eroded by 200000 years of climate (and climate changes) exposure, in the case of the one on the picture, I can't believe it would not have standed upright.
Especially if the stones are round. The best stone walls I have seen in Europe, Africa (Mali, Dogon area, Marocco) were made of flat stones. Many pictures remind me of many disused villages and terraces... Furthermore, the wall is not large. It happens that my actual home is stone made. It used to be a kind of barn for 'vignerons', so it is not even a real house. The walls are as large as more than one meter at the base, for a height of five meter. That is the only way to procede if you want to build a stone wall, it get thin and thiner when you go up.
So it seems to me that the shown walls at Makomati would have been walls for relatively small constructions. That is to say that I find it surprising that they then, would have lost only little of their original size.
As Erna has shown, the actual kraals are similar when seen from the sky. It may be possible then, that what we see is the accumulation of villages thru the generations. That is not to say that the bigger stones are not interesting and questioning, but...Where are the other researchers, those who would write without mentioning the Telling tale?
Another thing. On one of the pictures on the album

, a sign is shown, plakaged on a stone telling that the site has been declare official in 1994 by a South African official. Does it mean the Adam's calendar has been discovered in that decade? Then why haven't we heard about that sooner? Do you have any information about that Erna?
