An amazing find has been discovered near southern Africa, about 150 miles west of the port of Maputo. These are the remains of a huge megalopolis, the size of which, at the most conservative estimate, was about 1,500 square miles and is thought to have been built from 160,000 to 200,000 B.C.

You can see the number and scale of these ruins by entering the following coordinates into a Google Earth search:
