What was once thought to be a scattering of ancient stone huts on the outskirts of Johannesburg, South Africa, has been transformed into a “thriving city,” lost to history for 200 years, thanks to White technology and White archeologists:
Beneath the dense vegetation, there isn’t much to see with the naked eye. And after three decades of careful research, archaeologists in South Africa have barely scratched the surface of this long-lost settlement.
Now, however, thanks to the cutting-edge laser technology of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), this site has been revealed for what it truly was: a veritable metropolis, made up of hundreds of households and trade networks.
The research has brought this city, called Kweneng, back to life. Home to a Tswana-speaking ethnic group, Kweneng’s 800 homesteads are now thought to have housed no less than 10,000 people.
“What this means is filling in a huge historical gap, especially for southern Africa, because we know pre-colonial history of southern Africa has no written record,” explains Fern Imbali Sixwanha, an archaeologist at the University of Witwatersrand involved in the research.
“So now we’re starting to fill in the gaps using this LIDAR technology.”
It’s the same technology that scientists used to locate that ancient Mayan megalopolis early last year. Today, it’s helping to fill a massive historical blindspot in southern Africa.
Bouncing billions of laser light pulses off the lower western slopes of the Suikerbosrand hills near Johannesburg, the researchers were able to virtually ‘see’ through all the vegetation and preconceived notions that have obscured this once bustling city.
Studies now reveal that Kweneng, which spanned about 20 square kilometres (8 square miles), was at its prime between the 15th and 19th century. And in its heyday, the researchers think it was probably a rich and thriving city.
Several pairs of parallel rock walls suggest there were numerous passageways into the city, many of which look like cattle drives, built to herd cows and other livestock through parts of the city.
What’s more, in the middle of Kweneng are remnants of two massive enclosures, which together take up a space estimated at 10,000 square metres (108,000 square feet). Archaeologists on the case think these may have been kraals that housed nearly a thousand head of cattle.
But just like many other Tswana cities, this one is also thought to have fallen into decline after civil unrest.
Gone are the citizens, the stone towers, the homesteads, the livestock, the wealth. Thanks to LIDAR, however, the history will live on.
Blacks can’t falsify history on their own, so mostly White do-gooders are more than happy to do it for them, and in this case, using sophisticated 3-D computer modeling. Judging from these computer-generated pictures, what we are looking at is not, in fact, a “city” by any White standards. By White standards it can only be no more than a collection of stone huts and animal enclosures, but by Black standards, that’s the equivalent of ancient Rome, one would think.
But this is just one example of how far Whites are willing to go to make Blacks feel like they’ve accomplished something in their collective past that’s worthy of anyone’s attention. As the article above freely admits, prior to White colonists, there was “no written record” anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa. With no written language, the Africans had no way of transmitting their history or “culture” from one generation to another. Whites had to teach Africans how to read and write in their own languages, and now they are teaching them to make up a history that never happened, just so Blacks can feel better about themselves.
So blacks had no written language up until whites arrived, really, who said so, the white man?
Whites said that Australia was uninhabited and then proceeded to try and commit genocide against the indigenous people there.
So many of you whites are just plain ignorant, but don’t let that stop you. Whatever blacks do, you won’t believe. What makes whites think that they are more truthful, honest and better?
Keep on believing the fiction that the ignorant keep on telling you.
The burden of proof is on you, Laquan. Tell us, what written language did Black Africans have prior to White exploration and colonization of Africa? Whites were the ones who wrote down and systematized Swahili because the Blacks had never done it for themselves. Go ahead. Give us an example of just ONE written sub-Saharan Black language that you can prove was used and survives even to this day. Just one.
You don’t refute a point merely by saying you don’t like it or you disagree with it–you refute it by giving concrete proof that it is demonstrably false. You have failed to do this. Calling into question White’s honest is not “proof”.
Whites have helped Blacks in Africa for hundreds of years to develop their countries–why would we “lie” about your history? Whites were the ones who first created museums of African art and culture–not Blacks. Think about that. If Whites are trying to “hide” Black culture and history, why did we spend millions of dollars creating these Black history museums? You make no sense, Laquan. Think about it.
That Bobby Jan Swatz’s farm. Apparently foot and mouth coupled with another land theft collapsed the great economic endeavour.
This must be the predecessor to Wakanda, so in the absence of a written language, why don’t the archeologists try to find out what these pre-Wakandans left on their advanced computers?
/sarcasm off
The reason why Cultural Marxist archaeology can get away with this job on African ruins that clearly belong to the Nuragic civilisation of Sardinia and Africa is because they have airbrushed the Rephaim and their Phonecian / Canaanite peoples out of the historical narrative. Does not fit the evolutionary theory that the goys are supposed to believe. An outfit called Gen6 is tracking this with expeditions and videos and lectures.

But we wuz KANGS an shit….
This is the high tech version of lying on your back and staring at clouds. utter crap!
“the citizens, the stone towers, the homesteads, the livestock, the wealth”
Citizens? Blacks have no concept of “citizenry”.
Stone towers? You mean piles of rocks.
Homesteads? Is that what dirt floor, one story mud and dung huts are now?
Livestock? There is no evidence being presented that these “enclosures” housed “livestock”. I find it more realistic that it is where they herded their human cattle.
Wealth? Seriously? No written language, no running water or sewage system, no roadways…but there HAD to be wealth. Yeah, wealth alright – a wealth of savagery, poverty, disease, death, and…flies!
Dats Wakanda! I seent it! Dats Wakanda
And the Blacks waited for the Jews of Hollywood to create a make-believe African Utopia, Wakanda, (in the movie “Black Panther”) for them because they couldn’t make even a fictional Black civilization on their own, let alone a real one.
