Adam's Calendar

Visit the oldest man-made structure on earth.

Imagine being able to take yourself back 75,000 years, imagine being able to experience a piece of human history dating back to the time of Queen Sheba and the lost city of Ophir. Imagine visiting a place that will forever change archaeologists and historians view on the human conscious.

In the rolling hills and majestic mountains overlooking Nelspruit, Kaapsehoop is the area where Adam's Calendar can be found. This man made structure built over 75,000 years ago is situated on some of the oldest gold mining land in Africa. This mining land is said to be Queen Sheba's mine and the very place where King Solomon got his gold. This is a historical landmark that is challenging our perception of ancient times and the origins of man.

Adam's calendar is a structure that documents the days and weeks of a year in a time where man looked at day and night and the movement of the sun and the rising of the moon and started to document it. Discovered by John Heine and dated by astronomer Bill Hollenbach, this legendary stone structure aligns itself with the ruins in Zimbabwe and the rise of Orion in the night skies. It is testament to the legends that Africa is one of the oldest places on earth.

So take a journey with us, back in time. Follow the footsteps of some of the oldest cultures in history,  share in the wonder and vivid legends of an era steeped in mystery and magic. Stand on the edge of the world and see Adams Calendar for yourself.
