Australia: Rock Art
Rock Art of the Ancient Aborigines
For tens of thousands of years, the aborigines have been depicting their stories and history by drawing on ancient rocks. The stories in picture form are as varied as the cultures themselves. They depict every thing from the story of the "Rainbow Serpent" and the creation of Australia to the ordinary life of these ancient aborigines. They tell not only of the ancient history of Australia, but of possible visits of extraterrestrial life forms.The impression is left that all rock art is 20,000 years old, however , not all of it is, some is only a couple hundred years old at the most. That art is no longer practiced, I guess most of them now have Black Berrys..
