50,000 years ago, the very first Homo Sapiens set sail from Australia. These people were responsible for the development of religion, art, agriculture, seafaring, surgery, and many of the cornerstones of civilisation as we know it.
Steven and Evan Strong have spent over 20 years assembling facts from archaeological finds, explorers’ accounts, genetics information, traditional Australian Aboriginal mythology and many more sources to develop one coherent and controversial theory: Aboriginal people exported civilisation to the world-at-large.
Their first two books: “Constructing a New World Map” and “Mary Magdalene’s Dreaming” have been published through the prestigious University Press of America and can be purchased through this website.
These books go into depth exploring the notions that the Australian Aboriginal people were the source of everything that society has been built upon.

Dear Steve I have been interested in your theory ever since I was 15 years old or so. I am a wiradjuri and kamilaroi man, and I first became aware of our beliefe as Aboriginal people as a child and subsequently always became frustrated with, as you said finding ” white proof for black truth” to substanciate our past, not only, to some of my people who see themselves and ultimately judge each other through white people’s eyes but the white majority as a whole. My interest is solely based on cultural preservation and maintaining my obligitory duties as a wiradjuri man toward my children nephews and nieces and my elders as well. I come from a place called Erambie mission, a place that experianced its fair share of dissposession and forced removal of our people. You speak of our creator in a way that leads me to believe you too have been educated by some of our elders. I will be in touch.

Absolutely, I have been heavily influenced by what the Edlers have shared,. Barely two months ago Ramindjeri Elders put me through ceremony and gave some specific directions. But further back I taught in Moree, and learnt heaps. I have nothing but great memories of Moree in the mid 90′s, and learnt so much there. Learnt how to keep my mouth still and how to listen, sat with men and women who still had culture and know the young need to find their roots and instil a sense of pride. It has to come back, and really this is what we are on about. I actually taught and introduced Aboriginal Studies into Moree when teaching at Courallie High. The good news is, we have spoken to hundreds, mainly non-Aboriginal, and with all our white-fella truths, all of them are in agreement the Elders are right. The National Indigenous Times are covering this and have another of our articles in the latest edition (228), New Dawn are publishing our articles and are doing a huge spread, and there’s more. We really feel like people are listening.
Just got contact from Perth and the Kimberleys, both groups want me up there to talk, Keerianne Cox is coming down to work with me in a series of presentations around the far North Coast of NSW, etc.
I appreciate your comments, and look forward to your next response. Thank you so much, Steve

PS. A cousin of mine told me he bowled you for a duck at Taylors oval, he gos by the nickname ”cookie”. I wonder if his memory serves him correctly?

He is right I do remember being bowled by Cookie (and many others too), he was part of Percy and Les Ravenau’s team. Always enjoyed playing them. I have only good memories of Moree and would look forward to speaking there. I hope there are deveklopments, because I learnt heaps about culture in Moree and it would be a way of returning the favour. Thanks for helping Ray I do appreciate it.

Hi Steve,
I have been following this for many many years, heard snipets here and there, the aboriginal civilisation is far older than most everyone acknowledges, if you ever come up to North West NSW, let me know
I have been told that the Queens corgi’s are the northern most strain of Dingo’s in the world, could you confirm this,
also that dogs in Asia, have kangaroo ticks, which could mean, that aboriginals went to asia, not the other way around
another source told me that “Akhnaton” with moses landed in north western WA
are you able to confirm these stories

Hi, i was reading your article on Ancient egyptians in austraila! very impressed with what you told.I have been looking for the right person ot tell this story that i have. That my 5 year old told me, in great detail about her past life as a Aboriginal women who was very sacred to her people. Its sounds hard to belive, but she gave me descriptions of things that she should not have known, and talked about cpt cook and what his men did when they first came, i belive? I was hoping to prehaps have a talk with you more about what i know. i found connections in your story and with what my daugther told me! i belive that there was no way of her finding out about Cpt cook through kinder, or by any other means. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Jade

This is an interesting article; now I have a question: if the same type humans are found in both Continent A and Continent B, and it seems possible that people from A traveled to B, then how can we be sure that the travel was not in the other direction, that they traveled from B to A? The Olmec civilization was probably not related to any aboriginal culture, but much of their statuary might throw some light on the migrations of people who resemble the black peoples of Africa, and the same question enters my mind: were the black people of Olmec descended from African blacks, or are African blacks descended from people who once lived in the Americas? Thanks.

fascinating. I have always held the belief ( since studying an honours degree in social anthropology at Sydney Uni) that the aboriginal lore and respect for earth was the fundamental core resonance note for all of earth’s humanity. ( like the didgeridoo – it resonated with every type of music as a fudamental drone with no disharmony ever.) these are the respected elders of the planet. but I am puzzled how they could have exported so much fundamental knowledge and yet remained so devoid of technical mastery – when we look at the artwork of the Egyptians, or the Phoenecians or the Ancient Greeks, it all seems a long way from basic aboriginal cultural artifacts. I believe the aboriginal culture may well be the pre-eminent ideas culture on our planet. Their fundamental respect for every element of the cosmos is the most sophisticated worldview on the planet today, but as far as material culture went they had no need to develop this and so it seems unlikely they taught this to the Egyptians and the west. credit where it is due, as the richest ideas culture on the planet putting in the shade the myth stories of all other cultures. the Dreaming is the supreme cultural artifact for this planet…
