Temples of the African Gods

i love the book

Surprisingly well presented hard cover coffee table book loaded page after page with excellent photos like that seen on the cover. The premise is that these African stone circles date back well over 100,000yrs constituting to the authors evidence of the Sumerian Annunaki god's human gold mining settlement outlined in previous works by noted ancient astronaut theorist Zecharia Sitchin. They further surmise the circles were made to take advantage of the Earth's natural energy lines for various purposes and that many may have astronomical significance. They also make note of long tracks of stacked stone parallel lines, or roads, leading from the circles (which they relate to sluicing gates for metal refinery) as well as what appears to be large tracts of agricultural terracing found on many hillsides.It is safe to say this is not a scholarly work, and is best described as a picture book, so if you are looking for hard facts or even a well thought out hypothesis in any direction you will certainly be left wanting. Speculative leaps are often made in their interpretation of stone blocks as "statues" or odd shaped rocks as "tools", but nevertheless they are intriguing as possibly being man-made objects of such age whatever their purpose. One particularly disappointing segment is that they picture what they assert must be pyramids, but do not make any further investigation and only view them from afar. It is unfortunate they did not take the time to pursue these "pyramids" in greater detail if only to verify or rule out a possible man-made origin because they are definitely pyramid shaped curiously isolated on a large flat plain. One thing curious to me about these stone circles, not noted by the authors, is that the concentric nature of their construction bears a striking similarity to the megalithic ruins found on Malta.Regardless of their theories and lack of hard data, it is obvious they have well documented, if only with pictures, a bonafide historical anomaly desperately worthy of further investigation. What is clear by these photos is that a massive interconnected culture, a veritable metropolis, once existed in South Africa that would appear to pre-date any known civilization by tens of thousands of years. While some of the stone structures may have a more recent origin, if only from late comers refurbishing an existing site for other purposes, it is obvious that the greater part of these ruins are hoary with age well beyond the time frame of any known locally attributable culture. In the area and greater South Africa in general, there are indeed ancient mines dating back by some estimates as much as 100,000yrs with the great mystery, among other things, being obviously who could possibly have been responsible for such things in remote antiquity. If the stone structures they have photographed are any indication, they may have found the answer. Overall, disappointing as a read, but worth every penny for the pictures.

Used to gain insight about ancient Neolithic civilization in South Africa book has great info about Anunnaki

Nice book.appreciate the Information.But there were no pictures of temples only stone formations .

Not too often do you find historians and archeologist report factual information with the medication to appease certain appetites. Great Job!

Michael Tellinger has made the astonishing discovery of the Anunnaki gold mines in Africa. If you have read Zecharia Sitchin's many books about the Anunnaki you will be amazed and delighted by the actual photos of their mines. Here is living proof that they existed on planet Earth 250,000 years ago. An exciting book to treasure.Janice RobertsonAstoria. Oregon.

This book has information and beautiful photographs of ruins you have probably never heard about. You see the grass huts that these people are living in today, but never are told about the ruins from the civilization that existed there many thousands of years ago. This book is thought provoking to say the least !

Bought the book from Amazon and found the contents very interesting. The pictures and analysis I thought were well thought out and credible. Certainly the theory requires more investigation and measurements. The theories are along the lines of Cremo, Hancock, and Farrell. Will get Slave Species of the Gods by the same author.

Phenomenal. Studying ancient history a long time, know a lot of Africa s well, but it is mind boggling what you can learn here in this book, answering sooo much questions, hidden so long time by those "scientist, archeologist" . Now, I hate scientific establishment even more. In history and archeology has more politick then in politic.

great reading material

awesome book

Lovely coffee table book.
