Since 2007, a real-life Indiana Jones — making ground-breaking discoveries about ancient, advanced technology and vanished civilizations across the southern tip of Africa.
S ince 2007, Michael Tellinger has become a real-life Indiana Jones, making ground-breaking discoveries about ancient, advanced technology and vanished civilizations all over the southern tip of Africa. His broad level of interest in diverse subjects, his knowledge of sound, resonance, and cymatics, and his analytical scientific approach, has produced stunning discoveries that will force us to rethink our origins and rewrite our history books.
He is the author of four books, translated into twelve languages, and the founder of the Stone Circle Museum, the UBUNTU Movement, and the One Small Town initiative.

Slave Species of God.
After digesting many books on human origins, ancient civilizations, and the Sumerian clay tablets, Michael felt that there was a piece missing — a book that drew the distinction between GOD with a big G, the creator of the universe, and the many groups of often malicious beings worshipped as gods by people in the past.
In 2004 he began researching and writing the book that changed everything. Within two weeks of its release in 2006, it rocketed up the Amazon charts and made the subject a hot topic of debate on channels around the world.
Then came the lecture in Pretoria, March 2007 — and the man who would change his life.
The day Michael met Johan Heine.
In March 2007, Michael was giving a lecture on Slave Species of god in Pretoria, South Africa, where he met Johan Heine, who introduced him to the ancient stone circle ruins by showing him hundreds of aerial photographs that Johan had been taking since the late 1980s.
“From that moment everything changed.”
– MICHAEL TELLINGER
From late 2007, Michael joined Johan in his passion to research and explore these ruins — including the stone calendar that Johan had accidentally discovered in 2003.
In 2008, Michael wrote and published Adam’s Calendar, the story of how Johan Heine accidentally rediscovered this important megalithic ancient site. The name was chosen by Michael as an appropriate commercial name for the calendar. He had a strong intuition that the site was somehow connected to the origins of humankind.
Moving to Waterval Boven
By January 2008, Michael sold all he had in Johannesburg and moved to Waterval Boven, a small town right in the heart of the most densely populated collection of the stone circle ruins. He used the funds from his Johannesburg house sale to buy the property on the Elands river, that eventually became the Stone Circle Lodge & Museum, and the home of the UBUNTU Movement, the UBUNTU Party, and the One Small Town initiative.
Michael started an intense research and exploration period in his life, walking the mountains in a 100km radius, and making amazing discoveries almost every day. The research expanded into the rest of South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.
The vanished civilization
He started collecting strange-shaped stones that caught his attention because of their odd shapes, and because many of the elongated stones rang like bells. But the biggest surprise came when Michael calculated the number of stone circle ruins across South Africa and surrounding countries, realizing that we face a vanished ancient civilization that nobody seems to be aware of, or researching in any serious way.
Michael determined that there are over 1 million stone circle ruins, and possibly as many as 10 million, covering large parts of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
By 2010, Michael published Temples of the African Gods, a follow-up to Adam’s Calendar, containing much more information about the stone ruins.
Since 2008, his Stone Circle Museum in Waterval Boven, Mpumalanga, has accumulated a priceless collection of ancient tools and artefacts, torus stones, cone-shaped tools, and evidence of magnetron technology — indicating that this vanished civilisation had an astute knowledge of the laws of nature, and that they used the power of sound and frequency as a source of energy.
It became clear that the stone circle ruins were not dwellings for people or cows, as claimed by the mainstream (note — they have no doorways or entrances) but energy-generating devices, all connected to each other, creating a gigantic energy-generating grid.
The Fossils
From January 2018, Michael has been discovering countless fossils of extinct creatures — reptilians, humanoids, and giants between 10 metres and 300 metres tall.
The Stone that crashed the TSA Security system.
In July 2013, Michael brought a doughnut-shaped Torus Stone as a present for Nassim Haramein in Kauai.
While changing flights at Doha International Airport in Qatar, the stone crashed the TSA security systems — causing pandemonium with security, and sparking the imagination of the scientific fraternity in the quest for a deeper understanding of zero-point energy.
UBUNTU, Contributionism,
One Small Town.
While writing Slave Species of god, Michael unexpectedly discovered what he calls the true origins of money. This led to Contributionism — a social structure where people contribute towards the wellbeing of their whole community, creating prosperity for everyone, not only the privileged few.
By 2008 he had founded the UBUNTU Movement – By 2010 the UBUNTU Party – By 2016 the One Small Town initiative – By 2024, the OST engineering team had built a working pyrolysis machine that recycles rubber and plastic into fuel, carbon black, gas and steel, without any toxic emissions.
If it’s not good for everyone, it’s no good at all.
