Rocks Suggest Aboriginals Were First Astronomers

A new archaeological find eighty-kilometers from Melbourne suggests Aboriginals may have been the first civilization to study the stars. Found near a property in Mt Rothwell, the ‘Wurdi Youang’ semi-circle stone arrangement has to points which are perfectly aligned to the ‘setting sun on a midsummer’s day’.

Astro-physicists and CSIRO experts have dated the stones ‘upwards of ten-thousand years’ – which far out-dates Britain’s Stonehenge (2500 BC) and Egypt’s Pyramids (2575 BC).

On the find CSIRO astro-physicist Professor Ray Norris;

This can’t be done by guesswork, it required very careful measurements. If it goes back, let’s say, 10,000 years, that predates the Egyptians, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, all that stuff.
