This is a very fascinating subject, but it appears that the link is down at the moment - has anyone any insight into these excavations and what they may have discovered? It is absolutely fascinating that this artwork has survived 40,000+ years of human occupation, and I think its probably one of the wonders of the world that we are able to discover such things, even now. It sure puts the Western world into perspective - Gabarnmang is 8x older than our existing sense of civilization. A truly wonderful discovery which I hope will bring context to the world today - especially in relation to our modern understanding of the ancient civilization of the indigenous Australians who, alas, have suffered greatly as a result of our Western, European, ignorance of the world around us. I sure hope we are able to preserve these cultural treasures long beyond the current century .. and I also hope we discover more from this wonderful site.
If anyone has anything else to contribute about the excavation and discoveries in Gabarnmang, I for one would love to hear about it. Ancient society as expressed by the discovery and interpretation of the remaining artistic artifacts is a topic that should be very well respected by us modernist, technology oriented peoples..
