At its rediscovery in 1872 the British explorers did not believe their eyes. It was so unthinkable for them that such a highly complex stone culture should have existed here, in the middle of sub-Saharan Africa that they associated the ruins with the legendary Kingdom of Saba, or even the Phoenicians.

Bei der Wiederentdeckung 1872 trauten die englischen Forscher ihren Augen nicht. Dass hier mitten in Schwarzafrika eine hochkomplexe Steinkultur bestanden haben soll, war für die Entdecker so unvorstellbar, dass sie die Ruinen dem sagenhaften Königreich von Saba oder gar den Phöniziern zuordneten.
