Indyvidual,

The choice is up to you. There's heaps of resources
out there. Pick what suits you. National museums
would be a good start.

Foxy,

Earlier you were claiming without a jot of evidence that Aboriginal culture was oldest in the world.

That Aus has been occupied for 65000 years is irrelevant. That Man came to being in Africa about 100 000 years ago does not mean that their culture has survived that long.

The Aboriginal cultures are the oldest living cultures
in the world. This is not my claim but is found in the
long history of the Indigenous people in the many
significant archaeological sites throughout Australia.

Archaeological sites provide information about how
Indigenous people lived, used resources, and were able
to adapt to environmental changes in the past.
These archaeological sites also illustrate how Indigenous
cultures have changed over time.

Archaeological investigations in the northwest of Australia
show that Indigenous people have occupied Australia for at
least 60,000 years - they are the oldest living cultures in the
world adapting and passing them on from one generation to
another.

Today Indigenous cultures keep the cultures alive by passing
on their knowledge, arts, rituals, and
performances from one generation to another.
By speaking and teaching languages.
And by protecting cultural property and
sacred sites and
objects.

I can't keep on spoon-feeding you. Why don't you visit
either a national library or an Australian Museum - and
educate yourself on this subject - if you're really interested
in learning. Otherwise - you're either stupid or simply stirring.

Either way - go pester someone else.

Foxy,
Some Aboriginals haven't been around as long as the Aborigines, others perhaps longer as in the Aboriginals of Spain & Bangladesh & Indonesia !
I recall reports from the late 70's where it was found that DNA of the Aborigines indicated that they are descendants of the Aboriginals in Bangladesh !

Foxy either you are stupid or being obtuse?

Ancient artefacts at best give a superficial inkling into the way people lived and almost nothing about what can be described as culture.

I have done a fair amount of digging into this and any claim that aboriginal culture is the oldest on earth is pure conjecture.

You have yet to post anything to support your claim.
