" We" are Australian," We" are Australian Aboriginal archeologists, also in search of the TRUTH rather than White Anglo make it up as you go along to justify Grand Theft, Exploitation and Wholesale Genocide.Who is "we"?
I admire the Aboriginals' ability to exist on such harsh lands. I have no horse in this race @3dogs other than the desire for accuracy in what is known while allowing room for a bit of romanticism in the unknown.
Thanks to the tenacity of just a few there are still some Aboriginals left and I guess equally few Native American Indians. Inconvenient as that is they are getting educated and getting into disciplines that are enabling uncomfortable fact to be unravelled from convenient mythology.
It is a universal sadness, that in all things, moving away from the above humans, the greedy ones use seek to play down the merits of those that they seek to steal from.
The desire for accuracy is a fraught search I fear and depends where one looks and how deeply. Popular history has the Aboriginal dying out due to the inability to withstand White mans' illness.....If one goes to the public records of the time the main illnesses were lead in the form of bullets, poisoned flour and grain and in the case of some of our most revered leaders of the past....the sword......You may rely on our History and Historical Science but slowly, too slowly we learn otherwise.
We have a crater in the Outback that looks like a mountain range, from above, its a doughnut, Science now believes it is the residue of a Meteor that plunged to earth at also around 250,000 years ago. They ( conventional science) say that based on what remains the meteor dived some 20 km onto the Earth surface.....possibly triggering the events that resulted in the upheaval far to the north.
Dreamtime says that a group of girls were dancing around what we call the Milkey Way. One carried her baby daughter in a basket as she danced. The baby fell out of the basket and crashed to earth in this place... See the problem. Ignorants saying that something came from what is now identified as the Milky Way......
Now, romantic or not how in hell would an ignorant, nomadic People have the knowledge that the place was made by a meteor ( a body crashing to Earth from Outside our atmosphere - the skies), how would the same story exist in tribes that had no way of contact 5,000 years ago when they arrived...AND how would Science have recently decided that it was thus and not erosion as it was thought to be till not that long ago.
So, the Aboriginal only got here 5,000 or 60,000 years ago...you choose. Some 200,000 years after the 'meteor' hit Earth at the then 20Km above where ground level is today!
One would safely presume that 60,000 years ago it was still covered over......where does the body falling to earth come from then..........or maybe the Aboriginal was not a nomadic primitive but a scientific adept 60,000 years ago....whichever all my romance went out the window wooshed out by reason and logic.
I just don't condone the Grand Theft, and though I as a white man would be victim, I would never the less applaud a reversal of roles......it would tickle my warped sense of humour no end.
