So there's a story about a volcano and there happens to be an old volcanic formation nearby, therefor the story depicts an actual event an implausibly long time ago. I find this as believable as Noah's Ark because there was a big flood once. Show us more than just a single coincidence on an entire continent of peoples.

- ccsnags 7y agoThe article itself provides more than one coincidence, but they are making some assumptions that seem to be stretching what the evidence is able to provide. I dug a little deeper and found a host of interesting things but like the article, there seems to be a bit of embellishment in what they can know with the evidence provided. The important take away is that we shouldn’t assume less technologically advanced civilizations don’t have complex systems of communication. I think much of the stories of our past are important, even when they seem to be fantastic. If Aboriginal storytelling has the ability to stay consistent over time, the structure of such a thing would be valuable to the modern world.
