All 4 meteor craters in 🇿🇦- kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp7KqnhombmFY80 The short - kzbin.infoO_mheGyt8l4?feature=share4 HISTORY OF THE PLACE Have you ever heard of the Tswaing Meteor Crater in Pretoria, South Africa? It's an incredible place that has amazed scientists and visitors for many years. This crater was formed a long time ago, around 220,000 years ago, and it gives us a glimpse into the powerful forces of nature. Imagine a huge hole, over a kilometer wide and 100 meters deep, carved into the Earth. That's exactly what the Tswaing Crater looks like. It was created when a massive meteorite crashed into our planet with tremendous speed. The impact was so strong that it made this gigantic hole, leaving a lasting mark on the landscape. What's fascinating about the Crater is that it has remained almost unchanged for thousands of years. Its circular shape is still clearly visible, and at the center, there's a lake with salty water called a "soda lake," which adds to its unique charm. But the crater is more than just a geological wonder. It also holds cultural and historical significance. The name "Tswaing" comes from a local language called Setswana and means "place of salt." The indigenous people living in the area used the salt from the lake for various purposes, making it an important resource for them. Today, the Tswaing Meteor Crater is a popular place for education and recreation. You can explore the surrounding nature reserve, where you'll find a wide variety of plants and animals that have adapted to this unusual environment. There are hiking trails that allow you to get a closer look at the impressive size of the crater. If you're interested in learning more about the science behind this national heritage site, there's a museum on-site. Inside, you'll find exhibits about meteorites, how impact craters are formed, and the history of the area. The museum is not only a place for research but also a way to uncover the mysteries of this extraordinary site. This uncommon hole on the ground reminds us of the immense power and beauty of our universe. It's a remarkable place that takes us back in time and encourages us to explore the wonders of our planet.

220 000 years??? Earth is +- 6000 years old. huh! 😮

[@albertuscoetzer8475]

The last dna manipulation is was done about 230 000 years ago. The current civilization is about 6k years old the planet is much older. The gizza plato is currently dated back of 30000 years ago with the orion star alignments. As well as the weather and water senarios

[@Fvtarchitecture]

Is it safe to go there?

[@LivinginSAtv]

Yes

[@DeanBothaMusic]

It's far too dangerous to go there unarmed. You are very lucky you didn't get mugged or hijacked. I was in an armed robbery very close to there.

[@LivinginSAtv]

Looks very safe, besides our guard was armed.

[@lourenciamiesner4570]

Difficult to follow, sound not good and can't read so fast
