>>1749233 The
Bradshaw Pictures of the Kimberlies (North-western Australia) are a
fresh and compelling addition to The Seven Wonders of Earth. Chronologically
they predate the pyramids of Egypt and the Palaeolithic cave paintings
of Europe. The broad-shouldered, realistic representation of humans
infers the origin of Egyptian Culture in the Kimberlies, while the
slanted profilic features of the human face, reminiscent of Mayan
pictures, suggest that the Kimberlies were the cradle of all pyramidal
cultures.
The early paintings are postulated as extremely old;
60,000 years or probably much more, but their absolute age can not be
determined. The iron oxide pigments have lithified, mineralogically
assimilated into the rock.
The esthetical composition, artistic
skills of presentation and the highly choreographed themes indicate the
existence of an advanced culture with sophisticated intellect and
social organization well before the history of civilization as we know
it. |
