Australia has often been called theworlds oldest continent with the mostrecent past. We beg to disagree. Theworlds oldest microfossils, dating back atleast 3,000 million years occur in rocksfrom Western and South Australia, andfossil hominid skull-types of undoubtedHomo erectus, dating from earlyPleistocene deposits, recovered by us overthe past 30 years from sites in the NSWCentral West and Blue Mountains, are part

of a broader picture, showing that Homoerectus and his offshoot, the earliestmodern humans [Homo sapiens], werealready present here by almost 2 millionand 300,000 years BP [Before Present], wellbefore the arrival of our earliest Aboriginalpeople [Australoids] from South-east Asia amere 65,000 years ago. Fossil footprints ofboth modern height and giant-sizehominids are to be found across Australia,in deposits demonstrating an Old Stone-Agepast to rival that of Africa.

While many populations of our earlymodern human ancestors migrated beyondAustralia, over a then-continuous land shelfto mainland Asia, those that remained here,we argue, eventually developed thebeginnings of what was to become the firstcivilisation on earth, in the form of themegalithic culture which paralleled theirdevelopment of an an advanced stone-ageastronomical/mathematical science whichwould one day rival that of the Mayans of

Yucatan.These ancient Australian star-gazers

also developed a written language whichnow only survives in rock inscriptions. It

took this author [Rex Gilroy] 28 years ofpainstaking research to finally crack thetranslation of this undoubted mother

language, yet from 1974 when I firstdiscovered this rock script [near KatoombaNSW], one word frequently appeared Uru, which we would discover was thename of this people and their culture.

From discoveries of large serpentand eagle-shaped altar stones at BlueMountains locations by me in 1965, wehave over the past 33 years of marriageuncovered extensive astronomically-arranged alignments of standing stones,

stone circles, earthen and stone pyramids,huge megalithic temples and tombs of thispeople throughout Australia and NewZealand, tracing their movementseastwards across the pacific to theAmericas and mainland Asia to Europe inthe pre-dawn mists of recorded history.

From their rock inscriptions we haveidentified a pantheon of deities, at the headof which was Ay-I the Supreme Being; Nifthe Earth-Mother and Nim, their child theSun-God, whom I-na, the Eagle of the Sun,

carried across the heavens each day. Nimssister was Ara the Moon Goddess, protectedby the Owl deity, Ma. Some 67 other lesserdeities are known.

We have also uncovered the namesof a growing number of monarchs kingsand queens, backed up by a priestly casteand warrior armies who kept the ordinarypeople in line, and upon whom they reliedto help erect the massive, weatheringgranite and basalt stoneworks that havesurvivied their passing.

Ancient Melanesian, Polynesian andAustralian Aboriginal traditions speak of theUru as being a fair-skinned race. The name

3


4/13


Uru and its variations follows themegaliths to the Americas as well as theOld World. It only dies with the lastmegaliths erected on the Isle of Aran off theIrish coast. Aran is another Uru variant andUru is the root word for Aryan, the wordmeaning noble. Thus the Aryans are the

noble race which, it appears, evolved inAustralia.

That the Uru spread from Australiacan be seen in the scientific dates given tothe megalithic culture sites across the OldWorld. The Aran monuments date back to1500BC while Englands Stonehenge andFrances Carnac sites date around 3000BC;those of Malta and eastern Europe arearound 4500BC in age, while datings for theIndian, south-east China, Japan and Islandsouth-east Asia vary between 5000 to8000BC. In New Guinea and IslandMelanesia they vary between 4000 and13,000 even 50,000 and on into pre-Aboriginal times [ie over 65,000 years ago],with megalithic sites in Central WesternNSW perhaps the oldeest human structureson earth.

Sumerian traditions speak of thewhie-skinned Uru as the first men andwomen, driven out of the lost paradise ofUru by natural disasters, which was

probably the drying up of much of Asutraliaat the close of the last ice-age. They arrivedin the Persian Gulf in large ships introducingcivilisation to Mesopotamia.

From here the Lost Paradise[always located in the southernmost regionof the world, across the Indian Ocean]tradition would in time be passed on to theEgyptians, where the Greek traveller Solonlearnt of it [the Egyptians knew it as Kenti-Amenti, the fabled Land of the Gods],subsequently relaying the tradition back to

Greece, where it was to be known by theGreek word Atlantis.

We argue that, Uru was the origin ofthe Atlantis legend of Plato, and that itsremains should be sought here in Australia.Our findings, supported by a mass of relicsand rock inscriptions, together with a massof photos are presented in our new bookUru The Lost Civilisation of Australia[URU Publications 2005] due for release inlate August 2005.

*****The tradition of a mysterious LostParadise, often described as possessing agreat red rock at its centre, located in the

southernmost region of the world, waswidely known to the civilisations of the Oldand New Worlds, from where over thecenturies, expeditions would set sail insearch of the land of origin of all mankindand its fabled riches. This was the catalystthat drew great fleets of ships from Asia,

Sumer, Phoenicia and the land of the Nile,particularly with the onset of the BronzeAge [2000-1400BC], when the Pharaohs ofEgypt themselves dispatched great fleets oflarge wooden ships, navigated by expertPhoenician mariners, with great numbers ofpeople and supplies, to seek out andcolonise this land, from where they wouldextract vast quantities of tin and copper[needed to manufacture bronze], gold,silver other precious stones and pearls asdescribed in our book Pyramids in thePacific The Unwritten History of Australia[URU Publications 2000,2005]. In their wakethey have left behind them crumbling stonerubble pyramids and other ruins and rockinscriptions, often nearby their ancient,abandoned open-cut mines, revealing anunknown history of Australian discoveryand colonisation too often suppressed byconservative university-based historians,who would prefer that we knew nothingabout this hidden history, in favour of the

landfall of Captain James Cook RN [1770]!*****

Just how far these expeditions sailedis still argued by cultural diffusionists,although evidence suggests many sailed onthrough Torres Strait and on to Polynesia,thence the Americas, leaving behind themcultural influences which are still evidenttoday.

Among these influences are themummification rites formerly practiced by

Torres Strait Islanders, with variations in

New Guinea native tribes and certainAboriginal tribespeople of far northQueensland and the Gosford-Sydneydistricts of NSW; Egyptian origin Sunworship practices, and the ruins ofEgyptain-style Sun-worship megalithictemples and stepped pyramids at whichancient Egyptain, Libyan and Phoenicianinscriptions have been found over a widearea of island Melanesia.

Often examples of mixed Egypto-

Phoenician and Celto-Phoenician rock scriptare found in areas formerly colonised by theancient mineral-seekers. This implies thatthese colonies in many cases lasted for

public to make up their own minds aboutour continents ancient past!

*****While Phoenician and Egyptian

trireme loads of men, women and childrenwere colonising these shores, othermaritme civilisations were on the rise who

would add their own names to theunwritten history of Australia. One ofthese was China.

Beijing University researchersannounced back in December 1961, thatAustralia and America had both beenvisited and explored well over 2,000 yearsbefore the first European explorers to theselands. Their claims went ignored byEuropean historians at the time, particularlyhere in Australia. However, there isavailable a mass of evidence, in the form ofancient maps, surviving copper scrolls andother written records preserved in China,not to forget a growing number of ancientrelics being recovered from aroundAustralia, to demonstrate a Chinesepresence here over 2,500 years beforeCaptain James Cook became the lastexplorer to discover Australia!

The first discoverer of Australia wassurely an Asian; for it is certain thatseafarers from Java, Timor and elsewhere in

south-east Asia, were searching our watersfor pearls and minerals centuries before therise of the Near and Middle-East Bronze Agecivilisations.

China came to dominate the watersof Australasia, in the course of which theircartographers mapped the region.

It was Franciscan missionaries whowent to China in the 16th century, who werethe first Europeans to obtain writtenevidence of Chinese contacts with Australia.

This evidence included copper scrolls dating

to the 6th century AD onwards, and a crude6th century map of Australia. These scrollsspeak of voyages across the Pacific Oceanin the 10th and 11th centuries in giganticfleets of massive junks 60 to 100 shipscarrying hundreds of passengers each.

The book, Atlas of ForeignCountries, written between 265 and 316ADdescribes the far north coast of the GreatSouth Land of Chui Hiao [ie Great GoldenLand], and that it lay 30,000 li away from

southern China. Here plants grow leaves inwinter and lose them in summer this iswhat happens in Australia, which lies in thesouth temperate zone of the southern

hemisphere, and whose seasons are theopposite of those of china in the northerntemperate zone, where plants grow leavesin summer and lose them in winter.

The book The Sui Shu [History ofthe Sui Dynasty], written in 636AD,records the oral traditions of mariners, of

various lands lying in the Australasianregion. It states that, in the southern land ofChui Hiao, there lives a bird called theShelli which understands human speech[a reference to our indigenous parrots?].Here fierce black people throw a weapon,the Lun dao, or circular knives withdeadly accuracy. If these weapons misstheir target, they return to the thrower!

There are also dark-furred tall animalscalled Shuti, or Giant hopping hare. Thefemales of these animals carry their youngin a pouch attached to their bodies!

In 1968 a 2,000 year old vasebearing a crude map of the Australian eastcoast was discovered in Hong Kong.Another map, dating around 2,000 yearsold and drawn on porcelain, exists in TaipeiUniversity, Taiwan. It shows the southerncoastline of New Guinea, the east coast ofAustralia as far south as the Melbournearea, and the crude outline of Tasmaniasnorth coast. Other maps of the period show

the crudely drawn, entire continentalcoastline. Another, world map, engraved ona copper sheet, besides the majorcontinental landmasses, includes the crudeoutline of the Southern Land of Chui Hiao

In 1948 fragments of Ming period[14th century] blue and white porcelain weredug up on Winchelsea Island, north-west ofGroote Eylandt; and a large Chinese copperurn of this age was unearthed in ArnhemLand some years ago.

In 1957 an ancient jade image of

Buddha was unearthed deep below ancientsoil deposits in bushland outside Cooktown,and in 1958, inland from the NSW mid northcoast town of Taree, bushwalkersuncovered the large cliffside relief carvingof Buddha, another such image exists on aBrisbane district cliffside.

One of the most improtant relicssupporting ancient Chinese Australiancontacts, was recovered on ManyanaBeach, north of Milton on the NSW south

coast, when one day in 1980, 10 year oldMelissa Barclay found a carved sandstonehuman head, projecting from a sandyhillside. Later donated to me, and

6


7/13


measuring 21.5cm tall by 18.5cm thick and13.5cm wide, the head has been identifiedas that of the Chinese goddess, Shao Lin,protectoress of mariners at sea.

The site of the find was on the edgeof an extinct harbour that around 2,000years ago once extended a considerable

distance inland, creating a safe haven forany visiting Chinese ships. Could the imagehave been left here by departing Chinesecrewmen, as an offering to the goddess fora safe voyage home as was the custom?

*****While Chinese and other explorers

were more than mere causal visitors to ourshores, in far away Tibet, scholars were alsoaware of the sacred Lost Paradise, theDagop, as the centre of which stood theNavel of the World, a great red rock! It isa mysterious fact that Ayers Rock wasknown to just about every Old and NewWorld maritime culture! At least twominiature reconstructions of the great redrock existed in temples at Lhasa, oneerected in the middle of a reconstruction ofthe Lost Paradise, as a large islandsurrounded by water in a miniature lake.Both have since been destroyed by Chinesecommunists.

Across the Pacific, the Amerindians

were also somehow aware of the LostParadise of the west, which they located inthe Australian region. The Aztecs, whoarose in northern Mexico around 1200AD,somehow knew of lands across the Pacific,which they regarded as a great river. A mapdrawn some time before 1520, describesthis river as leading to the Lost Paradiseof Culhuacasn, or land of the Serpent, atthe centre of which is depicted a goodlikeness of Ayers Rock [Uluru]. Similarknowledge of the great red rock that stood

at the centre of the lost paradise to thewest existed among the Mayans, whobegan in southern Mexico, Guatemala andareas of Belise about 2000BC; and the Incaempire of Peru, which began around 1438and lasted until 1532 with the arrival of theSpanish conquistadores. These and otherAmerindian cultures of the South Americanwest coast were gifted mariners who put tosea, often in enormous single-sailed balsawood rafts, navigating on the Peru Current

which, flowing north along the coast, turnswest into the South Equatorial Current,which would carry rafts into the waters ofIsland Melanesia and north Queensland,

while an offshoot of the South Equatorial,the Australian Current, could have carriedrafts to southern Queensland and NSW,before turning towards New Zealand andeastwards into the Peru Current..

The expeditions of Thor Heyerdahl[Kon Tiki, 1948] and Vital Alsar [La Balsas,

1973] have proven the feasibility of cross-Pacific voyages in antiquity. But whatevidence is there for Australian-Amerindiancontacts?

During Septmeber 1973, MrsJosephine Jacoby of Sydney NSW, while on abus tour of Central Australia, wasphotographing scenery near Alice Springs,when she found a 4cm tall basalt-type rockfigurine exposed on the ground. It was lateridentified as a Tiahuanacan fertility god. Itwas alsonear AliceSprings in1974, thatpeopleexploringin theHaartsRangeentered asmallvalley to

find,projectingfrom soilon a rockshelterfloor,several5cm tall,bakedpotteryPeruvianfigurines.

Interestingly, the former Aboriginaltribespeople of the distict once practiced aPeruvian form of cranial trepanation.Amerindians would have reached the RedCentre via the former inland sea thatopened into the Guld of Carpentaria inthose times.

Fragments of Peruvian pottery haveoften been found along the Queenslandcoast, while several Mayan-style engravingshave been found on slate rocks in the

Glasshouse Mountains area north ofBrisbane.

During October 2002 Heather and Istumbled upon a ruined stone wall and

7


8/13


scattered rubble, the remains of a possibletemple in the Cooktown district. Projectingfrom the ground I retrieved a 41.5cm longby 24.5cm wide and 7cm thick stone slab,bearing the weathered carving of areclining human figure on one side holdinga bowl. The head had a right and left eye,

with a tear coming from the right eye andsaliva from the right side of the mouth. Onthe other side of the stone was the image ofan eye with a tear coming from the leftside, and the head of a two-eyed serpent, atear coming from the right eye. The imagematched others from Mayan sites in Mexico,of the Rain God, Chac Mool, the bowl beingfor the receiving of human hearts aspayment for his rain when found on ChacMool life-size images carved in the round.

A dozen other images recoveredfrom here on our 2003 expedition toCooktown included weathered images ofKan, the Mayan maise god, a stone humanhead yet to be identified, and the head ofthe Jaguar God. We also unearthed a footcarving, which engravings identified as animage of Bolonyocte, the Mayan God of

Travellers.Two earthen and stone pyramidal

mounds located deep in nearby jungle stillawait further inspection, and I located rock

piles over an extensive area of scrub whichmay be dwelling remains. We believe wehave discovered a Mayan colony. It coulddate to any time between 250 and 900AD,which was the golden age of Mayanmaritime achievement, when large fleets ofhuge balsa wood single-sailed rafts carryinggreat numbers of people and supplies, weresailing westwards across the Pacific Oceanto trade with islanders of the CentralPacific, as well as colonise lands and tosearch for precious metals and gemstones.

Obviously many explorers returned, withtales of the lands they had seen, includingthe land of red soil, at the centre of whichrose a great red rock the Mount of Creation.

There is little doubt inour minds that this greatred rock was none otherthan Uluru!

Theancient

Egyptians placed the God Set as the ruler of themysterious Land of the Gods, Khenti-amenti.It was described as a hot desert land, but alsoone of mountains and forests, located in thesouthernmost region of the world. Thedescription of the God Set mystifiesEgyptologists, for his features match no knownanimal of the ancient world. Yet it has beenpointed out that his general body shape andthat he carries a pouch attached to his body,identifies Set with but one animal, the
