Ancient ancestors brought many calcite crystals to Ga-Mohana 105,000-years-ago. These are just 3 of the 22 crystals that have been found. The crystals all exhibit a very regular morphology (rhomoboidal) and are visually striking with their shiny white surfaces and semi-translucent edges. Crystals hold spiritual significance for many cultures around the world. Archaeological evidence at Ga-Mohana Hill has revealed some of the world’s earliest evidence for the collection of special objects like these.
The crystals show us that there is a long history of spiritual and ritual activity at Ga-Mohana Hill. Perhaps some of the factors that make Ga-Mohana Hill a special place today were also recognized by the ancestors that lived in this area 105,000-years-ago.
