Australia - Evidence of the Past

It is said that Australia remained an empty continent populated only by aboriginals for thousands of years, and it is true to say there is no clear evidence of buildings or similar to say differently. Yet we persistently discover clues that indicate otherwise. Evidence discovered about this vast land suggests that before the aboriginals this country was if not the home of ancient civilizations, then at the very least it was visited by them. We know next to nothing about this lands past. For all we know Australia may have been the home of past civilizations, now lost so long ago that only the barest of clues survive the vast spans of time this land has known.

This is speculation but based on curious observations. Among them is the fact the oldest and largest monolith on earth can be found here. It sits in heartlands of this country and no satisfactory explanation for how it comes to be there has been discovered to date. We used to call this rock Ayres Rock but we now refer to it by its aboriginal name of Uluru. Not far from Uluru is another amazing rock formation formally known as The Olgas these to have been returned to their native name of Kata Tjuta.

Sometimes remains of structures have been found deep in the deserts, often only the floors and the faintest of outlines to show they existed. The aboriginals hold these places as special and put their origins in the dreamtime, a time according to their legends when the creators walked the land. This is a country the size of north America, and much of it remains unvisited. This is mainly because you need to be very well prepared to venture to far from the coast as many have discovered at their cost.

When one looks at the evidence of cycles of destruction that our planet has endured one cannot help wonder if the same happened here and due to its isolation people never recovered as survivors did in other parts of the world. We do know that the land has remained pretty much as it is for hundreds of millions of years. The inland river systems have been dated back to at least 400 million years ago which is the date given for a mountain building period in Australia. The evidence shows that these rivers were there before this event.

Aboriginal rock art

Ok enough rambling, there is a sample of some of the "don't fit the conventional world view items that have been found" in Australia.

In 1910 people at Gordonvale, near Cairns, North Queensland unearthed at a depth of 2 metres (6.5 feet) while digging a well a Egyptian scarab beatle 90mm in length. The sandstone scarab had hieroglyphics carved on its underside.

Another scarab, this one in onyx was discovered near Kingaroy, Southern Queensland. In Toowoomba a bit further south 17 granite stones have been found with Phoenician inscriptions.

It seems that Queensland is littered with small items that evidence an older occupation of the area. I suspect that there could well be a couple of explanations for this. The first, that people have seeded the areas with these items for their own amusement an option I find unlikely. The second, that long ago perhaps between 12,000 to 120,000 years ago there were peoples here from other lands.

What is about seems to have been buried by time like the large ironstone slab ploughed up by a farmer in Rockhampton, Central Queensland that bears a Phoenician inscription. It is not only Phoenician and Egyptian items that are being found, during the 1920's in far North Queensland some people while exploring bushland discovered a Peruvian Idol, decorated in Castillian jewellery and from Toowoomba a rock carved with a solar motif with a stylistic face and hieroglyphs of serpents that has been identified as being ancient Meso-American culture - The La Tolita - pre-Mayan.

Queensland is not the only part of Australia that has strange out of place relics, ancient Aboriginal rock carvings depicting a ship reminiscent of a Phoenician Tirane - the type of vessels sailed by the Phoenicians & Egyptians have been found on the Hawkesbury river in New South Wales. Also in this region 2 large carved stone heads dug up near Richmond are identical to examples of the sun god 'mithras' and earth mother goddess 'Demeter'. Phoenician deities worshipped over 2800 years ago. in the same area a small black stone bearing Phoenician letters spelling a name 'thuffi' was dug up by workmen 5.5 metres (18 feet) below the surface.

The Hawkesbury river is the site of very old aboriginal rock art that depicts strange visitors to this continent, including people looking very like Egyptians. At nearby Gosford, between Sydney & Newcastle on the Hawkesbury River, there are Egyptian hieroglyphics inscribed in a sandstone rock face. There are two rock walls facing each other, of petro glyphs - like a hallway. One side with the story of why they were here and on the facing wall funeral notices. An Egyptian scarab was unearthed near Lapstone Gorge on the Neapean River, south of Richmond. In Ulladulla also in New South Wales while excavating in a 2000 year old shell layer an ancient Chinese stone head of a goddess was discovered.

Australia is indeed an ancient continent from the Aboriginal petro glyphic carvings on the southwest coast of Tasmania that are said to constitute the oldest and largest prehistoric art site in the world to the ancient rock paintings of North Western Australia to the far North of Queensland items are discovered that cast serious doubt upon the history of the planet as we know it.

Nor is it just Australia that has these relics. Near the Fly River in New Guinea, just to the north of Queensland a 2000-year-old Egyptian pot has been discovered.

Now consider the fact that scientists from the British museum discovered that eucalyptus resin was employed in the embalming of the dead in Egypt. At that time eucalyptus was only found in Australia and New Guinea.

Consider also that in 1964 the tomb of a woman was uncovered in the Jordan Valley that contained evidence that eucalyptus resin had been used. It would seem that the product was widely available. Boomerangs have been found in the tombs of Egyptian kings and queens. It would seem that there is much evidence of a connection between Australia and an older civilization.

Perhaps what we are finding is not evidence of Egyptian visitations here at all but rather of a much older contact with a long expired civilization that the original Egyptians themselves are descendants of. I say original as the evidence is strong that the peoples that exist in Egypt now are as related to the original Egyptians in the same manner as white Australians are related to the aboriginals of Australia. Indeed the same could be said for the aboriginals of this country when comparing to the original occupants of this land.

One day someone will stumble upon something in this land that will change everything.
