Beneath a quiet forest in South Africa, the remains of a forgotten African city have been revealed.
Using LiDAR technology mounted on a drone, archaeologists uncovered ancient stone structures, long roads, and cattle kraals hidden for nearly 200 years. This was not a village. It was “metropolis” as one source calls it. Built by Tswana-speaking people centuries ago.
This is the story of Kweneng’, a powerful city lost to time. And now… rediscovered by science.
For generations, oral traditions told of vast African cities. Colonial narratives dismissed them. But now, the data is undeniable. Africa wasn’t a dark continent. It was buried, literally and figuratively. Now technology is pulling back the veil.
