Cradle of Humankind

The Cradle of Humankind is a World Heritage Site first established and named in 1999 by UNESCO (United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization )The name Cradle of Humankind reflects the fact that the site has produced a large number, as well as some of the oldest, hominin fossils ever found, some dating back as far as 3.5 million years ago.^[2] Sterkfontein alone has produced more than a third of early hominid fossils ever found

Archeaology in South Africa.

Why  ARCHEAOLOGY you ask?

Or what is archeaology??? thats where i come in.......

Most people in South African don't even know or even understand the term, hence it is one of the most rare careers in South Africa........ My aim is to to create awareness and try to show South Africa and the rest of the world how rich our ancient history is.
Archeaology is the study of human history/ human activity in the past that is mostly done by locating, excavating(digging) and analysing enviromental, cultural landscape, artifacts and archithecture, South Africa has some of the most ancient sites of human kind, and by some accounts was the cradle of humanitySouth_African_Archaeology.
