THE BEGINNING: “They say we have been here 60,000 years. But it is much longer. We have been here since the time before time began … All other peoples of the world come from us.” Aboriginal Elder: Page 122 and back cover of “Voices of the First Day”
<55,000,000 years: Bundjalung Dreaming story: “The Sacred Spring.” This oral account declares that “from the beginning, this land was one whole land from here to India,” which was eventually separated by “just one mass of water.”
6,000,000 years: Bundjalung Dreaming story: “The Fairy Emus.” “A big rock stands in the sea six miles out from Byron Bay.” It has been millions of years since the sea floor beside this island (Julian Rocks) was last exposed. “Nguthungulli had a cave in the rock.” There is only one cave at Julian Rocks, which is located adjacent to the sea floor,
850,000 years: “HOMO ERECTUS VOYAGES CLOSER TO AUSTRALIA.” Extremely convincing evidence of the presence of Homo erectus, who sailed to Flores (the second closest Indonesian island to Australia) from an unknown destination. They reached this island “between 800,000 to 900,000 years ago.” According to respected archaeologist, Josephine Flood, this fact “also makes evidence for an earlier human arrival of ancient mariners into Australia easier to accept.”
400,000 years: Professor Cann was confident that “mitochondrial DNA puts the origin of Homo sapiens much further back and indicates that the Australian Aborigines arose over 400,000 years ago from two distinct lineages, far earlier than any racial type.”
400,000 years: Professor Cann was prepared to extend and provide a sequence to her findings. “The Aboriginal racial group has a much higher rate of mutations than any other racial group, which suggests that the Aboriginals split off from the common ancestor about 400,000 years ago. By the same theory, the Mongoloids originated about 100,000 years ago, and the Negroid and Caucasians about 40,000 years ago.”
400,000 years: Professor Alan Wilson was the academic primarily responsible for the popular theory proposing all of humanity descended from one woman in Africa at around 150,000 years ago. “It seems too far out to admit, but while Homo erectus was muddling along in the rest of the world, a few erectus had got to Australia and did something dramatically different-not even with stone tools-but it was here that Homo sapiens have emerged and evolved … Homo sapiens would have evolved free from competition out of a small band of Homo erectus 400,000 years ago to Australia.” “Voices of the First Day”
If you get time, the interview is well worth watching.
The Original peoples were in contact with each other way before 2000 years ago. There is evidence that Egyptians and Phoneticians visited here are gain their knowledge from the Australian Originals.

Re: Australia, The Seat of Civilization? Out of Africa/Out of Australia?

Excavations carried out in the UK at Boxgrove Quarry have produced human skeletal remains, stone tools and bones from animals, which provided food including a rhinoceros. The finds have been dated at 500,000 years. In Queensland Australia a mine and substantial harbour attributed to the Phoenicians (est 1,000 B.C.) have recently been uncovered. In N E Brazil new finds indicate the presence of people from the African continent 50,000 years ago and more and more earthworks and circles are being discovered yearly in the USA. Everywhere, it would seem, apart from New Zealand the boundaries of history are receding... an oversight we hope to correct.

The 378-page book, to be released this weekend, was co-authored by researchers Maxwell C Hill, Gary Cook and Noel Hilliam.
It shows ancient maps drawn before the birth of Christ, which the authors said detail the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand.
Skeletons, rock carvings, stone buildings and monuments all attest to people of European origin living in New Zealand for centuries before the arrival of Polynesians, they said.
The artefacts include a rock carving of an ancient Greek ship found in Taupo, a stone pillar with an accurate coastal map of New Zealand showing Lake Taupo in its pre-232AD eruption shape, and carvings on rocks at Raglan.
Hill said a huge boulder weighing several tonnes, deeply cut into a huge circular star calendar and marked with what were believed to be figures and rebuses, was the most stunning find.
He said there was also evidence that showed Maui was not the legendary Maori god-explorer, but an actual Egyptian naval navigator, who steered a flotilla of Greek ships to discover new shores, Hill said.
The day Atlantis sank a legend was born that has fascinated mankind for over 2,000 years, ever since the Greek philosopher, Plato [427-347 BC] wrote his vivid description of the island continent in his ‘Critias’. The account is too well known and so often repeated in every book on the subject to rate repeating again. What I offer instead is an entirely new aspect, ven though it may not find favour with traditionalists, for I intend to demonstrate that the Atlantis legend is far older than the age of ancient Greece, or the Egyptians from whom it was transmitted, for they in turn had acquired it from earlier Sumerian traditions of a lost paradise, the land of origin of all mankind where the first men and women once lived in a state of bliss. I will show that these traditions of the ‘lost paradise’ were originally handed down to the ancient Mesopotamians by an even earlier people, the megalithic race, who once spread their ‘stonehenge’ culture across Asia and the European continent.
The origins and identity of this people has always mystified conservative scholars. However, what I am about to present is a mass of archaeological evidence, which I believe to be the earliest traces of this race, in the form of the lost civilisation of Australia; the ‘mother’ civilisation from which all others would eventually evolve.
The reader must therefore be prepared for many startling revelations hitherto undreamt of; revelations which place Australia at the very forefront of world history.
As the discoverer of this civilisation I stand by the evidence I am about to present. It is the results of over forty years’ field investigations and intensive research into the books of ancient writers, comparative mythology and epigraphy.
My discovery of this people’s identity did not come easily, but was revealed to me in a gradual process, beginning with my initial discoveries of serpent and eagle-shaped stone altars on the Blue Mountains west of Sydney from the mid-1960’s onwards, culminating in the discovery of mystery rock inscriptions near Katoomba in 1974. My earliest attempts at translating this script that year revealed a name, ‘Uru’, and as further examples of rock script containing this name gradually came to light I realised I had discovered the name of this people and their highly advanced stone-age civilisation.
I initially revealed the existence of the Lost Civilisation of Uru in my first book, ‘Mysterious Australia’ [NEXUS Publishing 1995], although at this time I chose not to reveal the name of this ‘mother’ civilisation, for I intended to surprise my readers and reveal it at greater length in my next book, ‘Pyramids in the Pacific’ [URU Publications 2000]. Now, with “Uru - The Lost Civilisation of Australia”, I have finally set out in full, the results of my many years of painstaking research into this hitherto unknown ‘Australantis’.
In the forthcoming chapters the reader will be taken on a journey back to the ‘unknown’ Stone Age past of this continent, where the origins of the mysterious, mystical Uruans will be revealed. We shall follow this remarkable people through time as they evolved their mighty megalithic culture with its associated advanced astronomical and agricultural science, which also aided them in their maritime expeditions beyond Australia. Among other revelations certain to surprise many readers is their development of a written script many thousands of years before the rise of Sumer, where writing was traditionally invented around the 15th century BC; and that the Uru invented the first crude gliders and hot air balloons with which they took to the air, giving birth to the original ‘Birdman’ cult, which they would in time spread beyond Australia.
