Report on German archaeologist Dr L Frobenius' presentation of his survey of the ancient cultures of Africa to a crowd at the Assembly Hall at the University of the Witwatersrand.

He also put forward his belief ("We are faced with facts.") that a more ancient culture existed in southern Africa thousands of years before the known ones.
