Isn’t it amazing that it took humans so long to carve and paint in more than stick figures like a 4 year old?

The "logic" seems to be that when evil racist Whites discovered aboriginal peoples they justified treating them badly because they saw people living like savages rather than their civilized and sophisticated forbears.

If only the evil racist Whites had known how civilized and sophisticated the aborigines' forbears had been they would have treated them as equals.

I call BS on that. Do we treat Italy as an equal to Germany because it once hosted the Roman Empire, or Greece as an equal to France because that's where Plato and Aristotle were born?

Just because some great empire arose from a certain place doesn't mean that the people occupying that area now are worthy of the same level of respect. Certainly as humans they deserve a certain level of respect and dignity for being fellow humans. But if they weren't able to hold onto their technological or sociological gains, then they should be treated accordingly.

When the US dissolves into a post-apocalyptic wasteland with scraps of food being fought over by rival gangs and tribes, we will get just the level of respect we deserve which will be not all that much.

The Dampier Archipelago formed around 7,000 years ago as sea levels rose,

As sea levels rose??? Okay, who was responsible for the farting cows? Or was it kangaroo farting. Had to be something because that is definitely a sign of global warming. Or maybe those aboriginals were rubbing a lot of stones together and making a lot of fire.

I figure aliens traveled untold number of light years and dumped the stones there. What there purpose was is unknown to humans.
Maybe used up dilithium crystals.........

To: BenLurkin; All

This is not meant to Hijack the thread but question for nerds and the curious.
On Google Earth at 22*31’36.71N and 89*40’26.48”W, there is an atoll. The question is what are the submerged structures(or depressions) on the East and North sides of the atoll? To me they are spaced and aligned in a L pattern.
Apologies if necessary!
