"this info is delivered in your face:"
Who's face are you referring to? - Posted by Thomas O'Reilly, Thursday, 22 September 2016 8:45:16 PM

Hi Thomas
The quote is in 3rd person. "Your face" is 2nd person , plural in effect but singular "you" meaning each reader. However, only a few read OLO , so the plural is not very large. But as a member of the plural yourself is included collectively as well as subjectively and being on the net it is notionally available to unlimited viewers. Then the plural 2nd person is much larger than the aggregate 2nd person singular who actually read the stuff . Probably it can't be in 2nd singular without such a person having read it . I can explain this in more detail when i have the time. And of course it resembles a commercial offer to sell a product which may be to all plural or not as the case may be.

G'day Nick, as for the "shipwrecks" along the WA coast. There are many more to be found I'm sure...Greek, Dutch, Chinese...even read an article a few years ago that suggested the Phoenicians had set up a sea port complete with breakwater and harbour somewhere near Mackay (Qld) - later proven to be a hoax.
I was at one time in my life, involved with the 'Duyfken' Project and saw the successful return of the 'Batavia' relics to the newly built Geraldton Regional Museum. Not far from where I was living in the NT for a while, a young lad found an old bronze cannon on the beach. See: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/christopher-doukas-13-finds-16th-century-portugese-swivel-gun-on-northern-territory-beach/story-e6frfhk6-1226241904600 Gavin Menzies: '1492' who asserts that China's vast fleets sailed the Seven Seas, later disproven by "scholars. But who is to say, that like the missing Scriptures and Disciples of Jesus, the greatest con artists of all - the Church, have not likewise conveniently lost/destroyed/etc whatever evidence that could substantiate those theories ?

Although the languages are divided into 2 groups with the southwest corner being separate , one word seems to be standard across the land.
Ngurra /ngara means "the Law. elders' campsite. to hear and learn. initiated men " and so on. Ngurra Law in the north is being promoted by Darwin Uni. In Goldfields WA ngurra means "a mechanism for laws and customs to connect a person with place". The Bali Indonesia negara is "a ceremonial order of precedence on a band of sovereigns" in ritual Hindu state government. Indian nagara means the temple city and a style of temple. The negara king in Bali gave prosperity to his realm as a 'negurah' guardian of land as territory of people who measured royal divinity by ceremony.

Nick, if your interested about the greeks travels, many stayed behind who ought with Alexander the great, and they settled in Tibet and influenced the Buddhists there. u may already know that of course.
and if it wasn't for the various middle east scholars, and later muslim scholars who saved many greek texts science geometry maths and astronomy later to share that with curious people like Copernicus and many others there's a big chance the Renaissance and enlightenment periods would never have happened when they did. The other thing is the best yeeros n chips in sydney are on illawarra rd marrickville - kalispera :-) - Posted by Thomas O'Reilly, Friday, 23 September 2016 3:21:32 PM

Very likely as the currents from India take ships to WA as Dutch sailors found out. However , from your words it's hard to see how he picked skin colour or age. But certainly there is pressure to delete incorrect discoveries. The dating of the Toorale skull was supposed to be 19th century , the 13th century was "impossible" for a sword injury so it's all ignored now by the academics who have custody.
