> … the Australian FNP. They were far, far more advanced than European propagandists could allow anyone to imagine. Other thank some claims about land management and herbal medicine, what were that not only more advanced in but FAR more advanced? Ship building, metallurgy, literature, maths, chemistry, conflict management, law? I am genuinely curious.

Surely its easier to tell us all what the advancements were than downvote me? I am genuinely curious. [after all propagandists have prevented me from imagining, let alone knowing.]

Oldest continually running mining operation of mankind. Longest running school. A Hippocratic oath before Europeans genocided them. Forms of agriculture which literally guaranteed a well-fed populace. An understanding of antiseptic materials, and even micro-biology, in an age of European miasma theory and blood-letting. There is much to learn about oneself once you drop the prejudice. I'm not suggesting we haven't "advanced" beyond them now, but I am suggesting that we may have overlooked something in our race to the moon, and their 40,000 year old tradition of unbroken oral tradition ..
