Adam’s Calendar: The 300,000-year-old Stonehenge in South Africa


 In 2003, Johan Heine was flying a single-person plane over the remote Mpumalanga region in eastern South Africa, when suddenly, he lost control of his aircraft and was sent plummeting to the earth below. Miraculously, Heine was unhurt in the crash, and as he climbed from the wreckage, he was met with a most astounding sight. There in front of him were three enormous dolerite monoliths. Behind these monoliths was a giant stone circle. Who could have built this mysterious site in such an utterly remote area of South Africa?

Heine would return to the site the next day with his old friend Michael Tellinger, to begin what would become months, then years, of research. The immediate results were stunning – the stone circle was in fact a giant calendar aligned with the movements of the sun, as well as the solstices and equinoxes. It could be used to mark every single day of the year by following the movement of shadows from its central monolith on the flat calendar stone at its center.

What Heine had discovered almost entirely by accident, was “possibly the only example of a completely functional, mostly intact megalithic stone calendar in the world.” He had discovered the site which would become known in the years to come as Adam’s Calendar, or, more colloquially, Africa’s Stonehenge.

Who Made Adam’s Calendar?

Shortly after its discovery, some in the scientific community asserted that Adam’s Calendar had been debunked. They argued that Adam’s Calendar, and other stone circles like it across the remote mountainous regions of South Africa, were actually just the remains of cattle kraals made by African tribes as they moved south sometime around the 13th century.

Yet, this theory did not take into account that these kraals were usually made with thorny shrubs, not enormous stones. Nor did it take into account that Adam’s Calendar did not even have an entrance to the stone circle through which cattle could pass. Perhaps it was not 13th century tribes who built the Stonehenge in South Africa.

The mystery of who made Adam’s Calendar only deepened when further excavation of the site revealed a series of unbelievable carvings – a 3-meter-tall Horus bird carved out of dolerite, a 1.5-meter-long Sphinx, a petroglyph of a winged disk, carved symbols of crosses and ankhs in radiating circles. These were symbols from ancient Sumer and Egypt … so what in the world were they doing in South Africa?

How old is Adam’s Calendar?

An even more stunning discovery came when researchers moved to date the site. First, astronomical calculations on the alignment of Adam’s Calendar showed it to be at least 25,000 years old. Then, further calculations based on the rise of the Orion constellation determined that the site was over 75,000 years old.

This suggested that Adam’s Calendar was built many tens of thousands of years before the existence of the ancient Sumerians and Egyptians. Was it possible that the Sumerians and Egyptians had actually inherited symbols like the Horus bird and Sphinx from another, older civilization?

It didn’t stop there though. A study examining the patina growth on ancient tools found at the site determined that Adam’s Calendar must be at least 100,000 years old. This was followed by another study which used the erosion rate of the dolerite stones to conclude the site was in fact over 160,000 years old.

With each successive study, the age of Adam’s Calendar was pushed further into the past. Today, estimates have reached 300,000 years old, leading some to call Adam’s Calendar “without doubt the oldest man-made structure on Earth.”

The Stone Circles of South Africa

Since the 19th-century, it has been well established that numerous stone circles exist across the remote regions of South Africa. In fact, by the 1970s, over 20,000 such sites had been documented. But as more information on the incredible age of Adam’s Calendar emerged, many began to take a different view of these previously ignored stone sites.

Most notably, Michael Tellinger performed a survey of the area on foot and by air, and stunningly counted 100,000 individual stone circles. Then, using satellite imagery and aerial photography, he actually increased his count to an unbelievable 10 million stone circles spread all across the subcontinent, through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Botswana.

More incredibly, Tellinger noted that each of these stone circles seemed to be connected to the others by stone channels and surrounded by a seemingly endless grid of agricultural terraces. In other words, the stone circles seemed to be the remnants of a large metropolis stretching for upwards of 10,000 square miles.

Could a gigantic civilization really have existed in South Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago? And if so, what else were they capable of?

Adam’s Calendar Recent Finds

In 2011, researchers began taking electronic measurements of Adam’s Calendar and other stone circles across South Africa. What they found was nearly unfathomable – the stone circles appeared to be powerful energy generating devices.

According to researchers, each stone circle was a cymatic pattern that represented the subtle earth frequencies that rose from the surface at that point. The stones amplified these frequencies to create electromagnetic fields. Because each of these stones circles was connected by ancient stone channels, it appeared that this was some sort of giant energy generating grid spread across the subcontinent.

Furthermore, as visitors began to show up at Adam’s Calendar for tours, many started to notice strange healing effects, conditions alleviated or even cured completely – one woman even claimed to have been cured of an advanced stage of cancer just by visiting Adam’s Calendar. It seemed as if the resonance of the stones was serving as a source of vibrational medicine.

In 2018, Tellinger led the study of a group of people at Adam’s Calendar, carefully measuring vital body functions over a one-month period. Sure enough, the study recorded positive effects on blood pressure, heart rate, retinal response, and other body functions.

Could the stone circles of South Africa have been constructed to provide not only an energy source, but a source of vibrational medicine?

Adam’s Calendar Explained

To explain Adam’s Calendar, and the expanse of stone circles which surround it, one might start with where these sites are located. Simply, the area surrounding Adam’s Calendar is one of the most gold rich regions in the entire world. Because of this, many have suggested that those who made Adam’s Calendar must have been linked to this gold. But who was around hunting for gold hundreds of thousands of years ago?

One man had an answer. Zecharia Sitchin was an expert in ancient Near Eastern languages who spent his life studying the ancients Sumerians. He believed that the gods of Sumer spoken about in the ancient texts – known as the Anunnaki – were not gods at all, but alien visitors who came to earth in the distant past … on a mission to mine gold. Led by half-brothers Enki and Enlil, they set up a mining operation in South Africa some 300,000 years ago.

According to this thinking, Adam’s Calendar and the expansive grid of stone circles left throughout the region today are the remnants of this ancient alien mining operation. For this reason, some call Adam’s Calendar, ‘Enki’s Calendar.’
