"The excitement we felt was like something out of those ‘Lost Ark’ movies! ... Deeply etched, ancient rock carvings, some of them strangely familiar, and yet not an Aboriginal motif amongst them." remarkably similar to other ancient languages we had seen. There were even figures with long pointed hats and falcon heads encircled by cartouches, along with a remarkable carv- ing of a helmeted figure with a bird's tail standing in a stylised boat similar to early Egyptian or Phoenician craft. Light-box tracings from infrared photographs reveal the clar- ity and precision of the various ‘written entries’ on the cliff- face. It's quite possible that some of the hieroglyphs were carved by different visiting ancient cultures on pilgrimages to this power place. Comparisons can be found with the writing of other ancient peoples ranging from early Sanskrit to Easter Island and early Chinese. The archaeologist who gazetted this site for National Parks and Wildlife says the carbon dating of the carvings (interior of the carving, as opposed to the weath- ered surface) indicates that they are from a period 40-to- 60,000 years ago, older than the Cave of the Bulls in Altamira, Spain, previously thought of as the world's oldest rock art. Some of these glyphs represent very old writing indeed. Perhaps, even, from a previous culture in an earlier time cycle. This could be the formative origins of the ancient harmon- ic languages that include Egyptian, Tibetan, Hebrew, and Sanskrit. It may be evidence for some sort of ‘mother tongue’ that belonged to the survivors of a one-time world culture. The similarities between the previously mentioned ancient languages have long been noted. Interesting to remark that such observations have not sur- faced in contemporary academic circles. The archaeologist responsible for the site, who works for the National Parks and Wildlife Service, is not familiar with other cultures. He says he is a specialist of some twenty years’ standing in Aboriginal primitive rock art, and that these carvings are nothing more than unusual primitive etchings. He becomes hostile if you even refer to the carvings as ‘writing’. He even said that he had a colleague he went to university with who came out to the site and insisted the carvings were Atlantean writing. He angrily refuses to entertain any such ‘fringe balderdash'! Another quite incredible site we sought permission from the Adnamatna elders to visit was Red Gorge, which archae- ologists of the 1930s claimed to contain more rock carvings than anywhere else in Australia. Sited on private land behind a remote sheep station, we had to gain permission from both the white and black custodians to gain entry. Red Gorge was a dry river bed with twin cliff-faces of blood-red stone that had weathered in huge blocks, creating giant steps and slopes of scree that enabled one to scramble to the top. Here was an unexpected concentration of carv- ings of all sorts, ranging from a variety of extinct and prehis- toric animals to the enigmatic carvings of strange, goggle- eyed beings in large circular and pyramidal cartouches (closed line around). We found a large stylised ‘eye’, not unlike the Egyptian eye of Horus and many other unusual glyphs and motifs, some of them even appearing to show stars and planetary motions. There was also a high incidence of carved foot- prints, in some cases running right up the cliff-face. There were a number of normal human footprints etched in the rocks, but were also a number of miniature human prints _, with six toes and a number of larger-than-human prints with four toes! Curious indeed. There remains much to be deci- phered and studied. The archaeological reports from the 1930s make it clear that the Aboriginal people of the time had no knowledge of the carvings, and insisted they were made long before their people came. In fact, the Adnamatna elders said the carv- ings were made in creation times by the mythical ‘serpent men’ who were called Iti (pron. E.T,) in the Adnamatna lan- guage. They described the symbol we had seen everywhere at both places, the circle within a circle with a straight line through it, as the ‘signature’ of the creation beings who came to the power places when the Earth was young. The same symbol is found at Mt Shasta and other key grid vortexes around the world. We will be taking our camera team to other key power places around the country that radiate out from the central grid point, looking for archaeological anomalies and talking to elders and ‘clever people’. We will be searching for clues amongst the ancient knowledge that reveal the workings of the prehistoric energy system. © NETWORK 23 TELEVISION present ANCIENT SECRETS A unique and groundbreaking documentary series explor- ing the mysteries and phenomena of the Earth Grid.
