SA's 2-million-year-old find: Sci-Tech: News: News24

Johannesburg - A group of local and international archaeologists has discovered artefacts said to be two million years old inside a Northern Cape cave, the SABC reported.

The archaeologists from Canada, South Africa and Israel said it had taken more than 50 years to make the breakthrough inside the Wonderwerk cave outside Kuruman.

They have found 30 artefacts.

The team says the cave itself bears testimony to what has been described as the home to the origin of human culture.

Reminds me of those little Iapetus shaped balls found deep under S Africa, as reported by Hoagland in his article Moon With A View.

There are pics of several of them, and funny thing, they do look like Iapetus, with ridge and dimple in correct location above ridge.

How to confirm ? Hoagie aint elaborating as far as I know.
