The Sahara Hid a Message Older Than the Written Word

Bright Side

On the eastern edge of the Sahara Desert, researchers found a mysterious stone circle. It’s kind of like Africa’s version of Stonehenge, but possibly even older. This thing might be a message from before written language even existed. We’re talking about people who used stones to track the stars and mark time thousands of years ago. It shows just how advanced ancient humans really were, even in one of the harshest places on Earth. If you're into ancient mysteries and mind-blowing discoveries, you’ve got to hear this story!
