9.7 – THE WISDOM KEEPERS (6.24.16)

ABORIGINAL STONEHENGE ^[8e]

Mullumbimby, New South Wales. 1939. Frederic Slater, the president of the Australian Archaeology Society, was dispatched to investigate the discovery of a complex Aboriginal arrangement consisting of 188 standing stones. Slater dubbed the formation the “Stonehenge of Australia” and became convinced that it was one of the oldest temple complexes in the world, predating those found in Europe and the Middle East.

“Frederic Slater found that the site he was investigating was part of a larger, much larger site. And fitted in very closely with Aboriginal sacred law, myths, and legends. After a time, Frederic Slater began to posit and suggest that, instead of out of Africa, that maybe we should reexamine the evolution of man as out of Australia. He took a massive leap and started declaring that in ancient times in Australia, the aborigines were more advanced than any culture that he could recount on the planet. He was declared almost insane by the rest of the academic community. The landowners were so terrified of the controversy that it implied that it was pretty much destroyed by bulldozers.” – Duncan Roads (Editor, Nexus Magazine)

“There are many stone circles throughout the British Isles and Europe. Stonehenge is one of the most well-known. And they all have some relationship to astronomical observatories. This aboriginal Stonehenge would really alter the way we think of the Aboriginals and the sophistication of their society, where they had astronomical and archaeoastronomical structures, that helped them monitor the heavens, much as standing stones in Europe would have done.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

“For our people, it went beyond the paintings and the carvings into stone arrangements. We would arrange in certain patterns, which relate to the constellation of the stars, in regards to our connectedness with the sky world and where we originate from.” – Kevin Gavi Duncan (Aboriginal Elder)

Could the so-called Aboriginal Stonehenge provide insight into the other stone arrangements found scattered throughout the world? If so, might they serve to provide a permanent record of a significant connection to another world?

Uluru Rock, also known as Ayers Rock, is located nearly in the center of the continent, over 1,200 miles from the nearest major Australian city. This geological anomaly is one of the largest isolated rocks in the world. It is over two miles long and rises over 1,100 feet. It is, in fact, the exposed tip of a huge vertical slab of rock that continues below the surface for three miles.

“It is a huge sedimentary boulder that’s gigantic, sitting there in the middle of the desert. And geologists cannot really explain how Ayers Rock came to be. It’s almost as if it was lifted up from somewhere else and brought to the center of the continent and then just dumped there.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

For the indigenous population, Uluru is one of their most sacred sites and a place of pilgrimage. They consider it the navel of the Earth.

“For the Aboriginal cosmologies, a lot of times the landscape itself is sort of like the Bible and Heaven, rolled into one. So, in places like Uluru, Ayers Rock, this rock has got great significance because they built this into their cultural memories of when the world was formed by sky spirits coming to Earth.” – Tok Thompson, Ph.D. (Prof. of Anthropology, USC)

The creation stories at Uluru Rock are primarily associated with the Rainbow Serpent. This divine being is said to have come out of the sky at the beginning of time, and held in its belly all of creation, including the first human beings.

“The Rainbow Serpent, we call Gria. And the Rainbow Serpent is related to all Aboriginal nations right across Australia. And it connects us all as Aboriginal people, because it was regarded as a very sacred symbol of creation.” – Kevin Gavi Duncan (Aboriginal Elder)

“An elder we’re in good contact with told us a story about Uluru, which is quite fascinating. That we were actually seeded from the spear, from the Pleiades, through space. And it actually hit the ground. And where that place was is Uluru. So, Uluru and its creation story with the Rainbow Serpent could perhaps even be indicative of an Ancient Astronaut kind of seeding moment in our history.” – Evan Strong (Co-Author, Ancient Aliens in Australia)

Ancient Astronaut Theorists have long proposed that Earth was seeded by alien visitors in the remote past. Might this be true? And if so, do the Aboriginal stories reflect this truth?

“When the first Europeans arrived here, Captain Phillip, who was an English sailor, planted the Union Jack in Sydney, and he asked Aboriginal people around that time, he said, ‘Where do you people come from?’ And our people would always just point to the sky. He couldn’t believe that such people, who were grounded by Mother Earth, say that they come from the sky world.” – Kevin Gavi Duncan (Aboriginal Elder)

Might humans actually have been seeded on Earth from another planet, as the Aboriginal elders claim? And could this truth be encoded in the Australian landscape, preserved for future generations? Researchers suggest some sacred Aboriginal sites continue to serve as extraterrestrial outposts.
