mhaze,

How can any of us take you seriously - when your
research is so limited on so many subjects.
Your entertainment value is fading.

mhaze,

"You have nothing to indicate regular pitched battles between Waring Aboriginal tribes resulting in massive casualties over the past 60,000 years?"

"And you have no evidence that they didn't have such battles, because (and please sit down to read this because you're gunna be shocked) aboriginals did write anything down." Not sure what you are saying, is it they wrote things down, but not that thing. Please note, Aboriginal people did not write anything down, as far as I am aware.

Based on the above anyone can make a claim, and its up to others who might disagree, to debunk that claim. I didn't claim they had, or didn't have, pitch battles, resulting in mass deaths in the year dot, although I believe it unlikely, based on the need for survival. Now you say there are no written records for the year dot, so you, Blainey, or anyone else can't substantiate such claims.

Given your logic, should I say; "Aboriginal people landed the first man on the Moon in the year 50,000BC, that would be true if I read it in some blokes book, or if the Aboriginals had written it down, or until proven otherwise?

Dear Paul,

Very few Australians know much about the history of
our Indigenous people. Goodness me, Australians did
not stop being British citizens until 1984.
It's no wonder that some Aussies still buy into the
misinformation of some so called "historians."

Lets look at some facts:

Paul,

The logic (sorry to use words that you don't understand) is that, since there is nothing written down about what happened in say, 10000BC, it has to be inferred from what we do know. Now doing that is a problem where societies have changed dramatically, but since you claim that aboriginal society is unchanged over the millennia, the way they were in 1800 is the way they were in 10000BC. Follow? And since we know they were highly militaristic in 1800 then we can infer they were highly militaristic in 10000BC. We can seek to back-up that inference by looking at archaeological evidence and when we do that (or at least, when we used to do that) we find a much higher level of bone fractures than would be expected from a peaceful life.

So to take your moon-walking native illusion, if we found that aboriginals were indeed able to reach the moon in 1800, then, yes, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assert they walked the moon in 10000BC. Still, to do that they'd need to have written stuff down, and did I mention that the didn't write stuff down?

Oh dear Foxy, you've become so very puerile these days. I once had such high hopes for you.

mhaze,

You said they wrote stuff down, but not all stuff, let me quote you;

"because (and please sit down to read this because you're gunna be shocked) aboriginals did write anything down." What did they write down? Anything that came into their heads, like the Theory of Relativity, which like the records of their Moon trip in 50,000BC (you said 10,000BC, out by 40,000 years! Get it right son) were destroyed in the Great Fire of July 7th 13,253BC.

p/s The Theory of Relativity, states; everyone has relatives!

This is absurd, as YOU know nothing, but pretend YOU know everything. And of course YOU never make a mistake.
