Australia

Archeologists believe it is 38,00 years old and it carried traces of ceremonial paint. Aborigines were nomads. Originally, they didn't have a sense of land ownership, although Aboriginal children were taught from an early age that they belonged to the land and must repect tribal boundaries. Tribes returned to particular places to bury their dead. Some places, like Uluru, were sacred because they were associated with the "Dreamtime", the time when the earth was formed and cycles of life and nature were begun. Aboriginal legends, songs and dances tell of powerful spirits who created the land and peaople durin the Dreamtime. There was no written Aboriginal language. Most of the 600 tribes spoke different dialects and rarely met except on ceremonial occasions. The tradition of Dreamtime united the people. Rock paintings showing this creation period can be found all over the country. Some of the most spetacular and best preserved can be seen at rock galleries
