"Zimbabwe Centre of Ancient Civilisation. Opinion of Professor Frobenius. Home of Great Race 7,000 Years Ago. People Who Moulded Their Lives on Stars." Report in "Cape Argus " on Prof. Leo Frobenius' disclosures from his study of the Zimbabwe ruins. Frobenius believes that the ruins were the centre of an ancient civilisation some 7000 years ago and probably the temple where they practiced their astronomy-based worship.
