For Haldeman, Farini’s story simply felt right. He based much of his belief on first-hand knowledge: many expeditions into the Kalahari convinced him that Farini had actually been in the places he wrote about. He found Farini’s descriptions accurate and his comments about his surroundings convincing and continued to find locals who recognized depictions of the ruins.9 He stated un- equivocally in an account of his aerial search in The South African Archaeologi- cal Bulletin that “someday the Lost City of the Kalahari will be found”10 and, in a letter to one of Farini’s descendants, “We do not feel he made the ‘Lost City’ up as we have confirmed everything else in the book.”11 man’s rotating gaze fixed on other priori- ties and the search for the Lost City was not continued.

As for the Lost City itself, some have suggested that the sculpted features Farini encountered are similar to the naturally occurring dolorite formations in the area around Reitfontein and that the material which he took for cement was characteristic of the weathering of the calcium-rich rock.
