In this article, we will consider the seemingly "backward" in all plans of the African continent on the example of such a state as South Africa.
This country is considered the most developed on the continent, now an active participant in the G20, as well as BRICS. But tell me what you know about her?
Exactly, practically nothing. If you voice the famous history of the country, then it looks like this:
The first Europeans appeared here in the 15th century and they were the Dutch. They organized the Cape Colony, which lasted until the 18th century. Then the country was shaken by several Anglo-Boer wars. And from the beginning of the 20th century until 1961, South Africa was a raw material appendage of Great Britain.
But if you look at the miraculously saved archival photographs of the 18-19 centuries, then a lot of questions arise, but was everything really as described in textbooks? Let's see for ourselves:
The picture above shows Durban in 1910, but we were not mistaken, this is not Paris, Rome or another large European city. Durban is the third most populous settlement just after Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Here we see the most that neither is the classic style, which, allegedly, was characteristic of the Anglo-Saxons. But if you just turn on logic and calculate how many British and Dutch lived in South Africa, it becomes clear that they could not physically build all these structures in such a short time.

Most likely, these structures were found in the same way as present-day St. Petersburg was discovered. And corny it was restored. But this is a topic for a separate investigation, and here we are considering energy.
Photo dated 1898, place - Durban. Look very closely at the red square. Yes, you are not mistaken, you see the tram and absolutely no wires! But let's not rush to conclusions, suddenly the angle was chosen unsuccessfully and the horses are simply not visible.
The scene is the same, only the year of the photo is 1891. Also pay attention to the pole and power plant on the roof of the house. Similar designs have been discussed in great detail in previous articles. As you can see, there are a great many similar installations in this city.
In this photo we already see not one, but several trams and a power plant on the roof of the house.
Another archive photo, where we see the poles, a lamp and a wireless tram.
Now let's move a little deeper into the past and look at this photo.
It is dated 1860. As we can see, there are already power plants on the roofs, but the trams are still horse-drawn. It turns out that electric cars appeared in the 1870s. And I wonder when the first power plants were installed?
Johannesburg photo of 1850.
Pretoria 1850 A similar power plant, no older photographs or drawings with these installations were found. Therefore, it can be assumed that free energy converters appeared in South Africa in the middle of the 19th century.
Pretoria 1881 Active development has just begun, and power plants are literally at every house.
Even farms could afford to have such an installation.
And here the Cape Town Railway Station is captured, as we can see, it also differs little from European buildings of a similar purpose. And its roof is one continuous power plant. It turns out that construction all over the world was carried out using the same technology.
Palace in Pretoria. All the same.
In the picture, the troops are sent to the Boer War, but we are interested in the building, there we see the poles and even a glowing advertisement powered by them.
Cape Town waterfront. Lighting lanterns with a combined mini-dome at the top.
And you don't even need to comment on the photo below, here everything is very clear.
From all of the above, we can conclude that even in "backward" South Africa, a lot of evidence of a high technological level of development was hidden and destroyed. Whose technology is this and who built them? Yes, the same people who erected a colossal number of buildings in the same classical style literally all over the world.
