Michael Tellinger

Michael Tellinger (born 1958) is a South African author, researcher, and founder of the Ubuntu Liberation Movement who has documented the remains of an ancient stone circle civilization in southern Africa — which he argues is evidence of Anunnaki mining operations for gold dating back over 200,000 years — and who has also developed "Ubuntu Contributionism," a cooperative economic model he presents as an alternative to the debt-based financial system he attributes to the Anunnaki's legacy of enslavement.

Background

Tellinger graduated from the School of Pharmacy at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg, completing a five-year degree in pharmacology. He subsequently worked in pharmaceutical manufacturing before transitioning to music, theater, and cultural work. Around the age of thirty, following exposure to Zecharia Sitchin's interpretations of Sumerian texts and William Bramley's Gods of Eden, he reoriented his research toward ancient history and the extraterrestrial hypothesis of human origins:

He also credits the work of Anton Parks as formative, particularly in understanding the Sumerian textual record of the Anunnaki's motivations on Earth.

Slave Species of the Gods

Tellinger's first major work, originally published in 2005, argues that the Anunnaki created Homo sapiens through genetic modification of existing hominids to serve as a mining labor force for their gold extraction operations on Earth. The book became a bestseller in South Africa. Tellinger's central conclusion — that the Anunnaki relationship to humanity was one of exploitation rather than beneficence — was reached through his reading of Sitchin's translations supplemented by later texts:

The book was also formulated in parallel with the early development of his Ubuntu philosophy, both tracks running simultaneously from 2005 onward.

Stone circle research

Tellinger documented over 100,000 stone circles in the Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal regions of South Africa, arguing these represent the ruins of an ancient civilization predating all known human settlements. In 2007, he was introduced by pilot and researcher Johann Heine to aerial photographs of the ruins — images that had received almost no previous public attention:

Tellinger relocated to KwaZulu-Natal, where he opened a lodge and stone circle museum, and conducted systematic field research linking the stone circle sites to ancient gold mining. He observed that virtually every active gold mine in the region appeared to be a reopened ancient excavation:

Contactee and researcher Brad Johnson described visiting Tellinger's stone circle sites in South Africa, where he observed what he identified as a giant's footprint embedded in rock and a fossilized heart formation nearby: "I went to South Africa, met Michael Tellinger and we were able to see this giant's footprint embedded in the rock."

Working with researcher Johan Heine, he published aerial photographs and ground surveys showing circular stone structures of varying sizes in patterns inconsistent with natural formation. Tellinger argues these structures functioned as sound-resonance energy devices used by the Anunnaki in their gold extraction operations, drawing on the work of Zecharia Sitchin and extending it with physical site evidence.

Adam's Calendar

Adam's Calendar is the centerpiece of Tellinger's field discoveries — a site in Mpumalanga consisting of monolithic stones arranged in a circle aligned to astronomical orientations, which Tellinger regards as possibly the oldest man-made structure on Earth. He interprets it as the location where the Anunnaki performed the final step in the genetic creation of modern humanity:

This interpretation was corroborated, according to Tellinger, by Credo Mutwa — the renowned Zulu traditional healer and oral historian — who stated that Adam's Calendar "is where humanity was created by the gods," identifying those gods with the Anunnaki:

Adjacent to the Adam's Calendar site are gold mines estimated to be approximately 200,000 years old, consistent with Tellinger's thesis that gold mining was the Anunnaki's primary purpose in establishing the region as a center of operations.

Ubuntu contributionism

Tellinger's Ubuntu Liberation Movement advocates for a moneyless cooperative society organized around Contributionism — communities providing goods and services without currency. He argues the current global financial system was deliberately designed by the Anunnaki to maintain perpetual human servitude, consistent with the slave-creation purpose he documents in his historical research:

The Ubuntu philosophy [is] an Africa philosophy of community working together for the greatest benefit. People look after each other, take care of each other and work together so that they all thrive and survive — and not just survive but thrive and prosper.

Corey Goode reported on Cosmic Disclosure that the Space Program Alliance had been following Tellinger's Ubuntu movement with "great interest," describing it as a transitional economic model for humanity after a full disclosure event: "They were talking about Michael Tellinger in the Ubuntu... Movement, and how they said that this is the wave of the future and that this after there was going to be a catalyst event... this is going to be the type of system that we're going to move into and use as we're a transitional civilization moving to be like a Star Trek civilization."

The movement was formalized as a political party around 2010 and contested elections in South Africa, before Tellinger concluded that participation in electoral politics was incompatible with the movement's goals. It subsequently evolved into the One Small Town initiative, a community-based economic model promoted globally as a practical implementation of Contributionism principles.
