Peer review is ongoing. Independent replication is planned for the 2026 Mali field season.
Geometric ratios in Codex Leicester show r²=0.91 correlation with Ronwa proportions. Provenance is under formal review.
The Ronwa civilization refers to an advanced cultural and scientific society that flourished approximately 12,000 years ago, during the period when the Sahara region was a green, river-rich landscape rather than a desert. The Ronwa possessed sophisticated astronomical knowledge, a 24-glyph cosmological symbol system, and the True Count calendar, which tracks celestial cycles with exceptional precision.
The first systematic documentation was carried out by Dr. Kaelan Thorne, an archaeological linguist with a background in paleontological field documentation. In 2012, she identified repeating symbolic and mathematical structures in a private manuscript collection in Timbuktu, prompting formal research and comparative analysis.
All findings are documented with standard archaeological provenance methods and are undergoing peer review.
Large-scale archaeological revisions require long-term evidence accumulation, replication, and publication. The project has prioritized documentation, statistical verification, and comparative analysis before broad academic release—standard practice for major historical claims.
These monuments align to constellations using precessional astronomy—the long-term shift in Earth’s rotational axis. The positions they reference correspond to star configurations as they appeared ~12,000 years ago, which matches the timeline of the Ronwa civilization. The most consistent alignment is to Orion’s Belt, used by the Ronwa as a seasonal and climatic marker.
The True Count is a mathematically structured calendar based on 13 moons per year, 28 days per moon, four seasons of equal length, and occasional leap weeks to maintain solar alignment. Unlike modern calendars, it maintains consistent rhythm, enabling precise tracking of seasonal, astronomical, and climatic cycles across centuries.
The triple spiral and related glyphs represent three interacting cycles: star cycles (precession, solstice points), earth cycles (climate, seasons, hydrology), and human cycles (life, growth, renewal). This symbol appears in later cultural traditions worldwide, suggesting knowledge diffusion through Ronwa diaspora groups after the civilization’s collapse.
Geological records confirm that around 10,000 BCE, global sea levels rose rapidly due to melting glacial ice. Ronwa coastal settlements were affected first, leading to migration and transmission of knowledge to emerging societies, reflected in flood narratives.
Ronwa knowledge appears preserved and reformulated in Mesopotamian myths, Andean creator traditions (e.g., Viracocha), pre‑dynastic Egyptian astronomy, and early Mediterranean navigation. This reflects knowledge inheritance rather than population replacement.
The project follows standard archaeological and linguistic verification methodologies. Peer review is ongoing through collaborative institutions including the University of Edinburgh and partner research groups.
Our archive includes provenance documentation, radiocarbon and material analysis reports, statistical correlation tables, and cross-cultural symbol comparison metrics. These are available to qualified researchers upon request.
The project accepts collaboration in symbolic analysis, archaeological documentation, historical cross‑reference research, and field‑site survey data.

Across history, certain scholars and engineers appear to rediscover principles consistent with Ronwa knowledge systems. Examples include: Leonardo da Vinci’s geometric ratios correlating with Ronwa cosmological geometry, and Nikola Tesla’s resonance‑based energy investigations aligning with architectural resonance inferred from Ronwa structures. These are viewed as intellectual rediscoveries.
The Ronwa calendar tracks long‑term climatic cycles associated with axial precession. Modern climate patterns resemble the transitional period that accompanied the Ronwa collapse. Current interest in off‑world settlement and renewable energy echoes historical attempts to preserve continuity through environmental change—suggesting cyclical knowledge re‑emergence.
The Ronwa civilization represents a missing chapter in human history— not replacing existing cultures, but connecting them.
They did not leave us stories. They left systems—of time, stars, and memory.
And we are only now learning to read them again.
