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 three books: “Constructing a New World Map“, “Mary Magdalene’s Dreaming“ and “Forgotten Origin” 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.
Discover humanity’s forgotten origin.
I really don’t see how you can assemble “facts from …..traditional Australian Aboriginal mythology.”
Facts and myth are mutually contradictory.
Who is to say that myth is or is not fact? we have been lied to for so long, why couldn’t the myth’s be factual truth? There is a phrase that say’s, “The winners get to write history” and the winners have been the elite of the world and they have hid history from every culture thus far.
We doubt we could put that more eloquently, this was the only country where warfare never involved confiscating the losers land, possessions, women and children or lore. therefore their myths (history) could never be stolen. Thanks Steven and Evan.
I assume you a Australian (not natives or aboriginals) and then I ask you ” How you can be so sure about your statement?” from history books that you have read in schools? OR all other books and articles deliberately made available for mass by PTB??Actual facts are always suppressed by them but some how through alternate channels some % of truth leaks and reaches to us.
Spent 30 years in the school system, and was involved in setting up the senior Aboriginal Studies Course. During that time only one text snuck through the system that told some truths. It disappeared very quickly. The school system is doesn’t want alternatives it works on certainty. Cheers.
Excellent ….. very good to see your Website. Thanks for my visit some months ago ….. hope you are both keeping very well – there must soon be Autumn colours in the leaves of your trees! Walk Good ….. with Love – & in Peace! Guidance. Peter.
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
I have paid considerable attention to your books and I’m anticipating further developments. Hoping to speek with you regarding the mentoring program. I would also like to invite you to talk in my communities respectively. looking forwards to your reply.
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.
Gooday Steven, A dear friend of mine by the name of Christine Levy, said that you may be interested in having a yarn with me about Aboriginal civilisation, history and culture around the world.
When you have the time just give me a call on (02) 936 555 10
or you can email me.
Will speak soon.
Regards,
Wlangari Karntawarra
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
Sorry for so long in responding, please contact us through our email address del_strong@hotmail.com or evbot5@hotmail.com we would like to help.
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.
Could it be the black Africans are descended from the Australian Aborigines? As you said A could led to B or vice versa, a recent Genome study of Aboriginal hair found that the Aboriginal race was much older than Asian or European and equal to that of the African. They assumed that since Aboriginals got to Australia 50,000 years ago the Africans were first. They then conceeded ” you cant put geography in here” and ” this creates a series of puzzles”. From us the fact there are nine sites dated at over 60,000 years is yet another issue. Thanks for your interest.
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…
Spot on. In talks people have asked us why didn’t the Aboriginal people, who were are spiritual and intellectual superiers, develop technologically? Because they didnt want to, they chose a different way. Of course the Ancient Egyptians were technologically superier, but not spiritually, that is why they risked their lives to come here. Congratulations you have summed this up perfectly.
Yes, spot on indeed.
And I am loving the level of the conversation so far, its a real perl !
I will need to read this book.
I have found myself writing about ancestor religions recently, for a festschrift. This is because I regard ancestor religions as making the most scientific sense of all world religions.
The ill advised ‘looking down’ perspective on ancient cultures is based on the unfortunate assumption that evolutionary change is a good thing, when in fact it is neither a good nor a bad thing but just a deeply indifferent temporal process (cronos) producing a highly differentiated cosmos. We have often failed to find the necessary humility within us to give full credit and respect to the Aboriginal and other custodial peoples for their achievements, and to our own immediate ancestors for theirs.
Human mental life, in the psychoanalytic sense, is a total psychic exchange, an act of mutual formation among people and their children, and is ultimately a global exchange between all of the living and all of the dead. Their is no causal direction in the exchange. Past and Future are utterly inseparable to such an extent that it is pointless to even to try to speak about that incredible Whole, since the use of language necessarily marks a descent into renewed dualism and associated value judgements.
In this general conceptual neighbourhood is where one may begin to discover a true understanding of the ‘dualism’ in kinship practice and ritual symbology among Aboriginal peoples and for that matter also the dualism among many other custodial peoples around the world (my own study is Indonesia).
We pride ourselves of the accomplishments we have made in the pursuit of ever greater levels of material comfort and security, and yet we also lament the spiritual blindness that has struck us. Out of fear we now destroy all vestiges of security even as we strive for still greater security. That path could lead us to a rule of terror.
Deep down we all know that soon most of us will be finding ourselves in material as well as spiritual poverty. That anxiety invites acts of terrorisation. It must be overcome.
Many fear we may very well overstep the mark, by a mile, and find that
all the kings horses and all the kings men
can’t put the living earth back together again.
It need not come to that. We still can do it if we wake up – bang,
just like this. And put out the fire there on the carpet. Or at least make room for the firemen!
What is the alternative? Well we could take the sarcastic advise of the illustrator Loriot who, in the case of a fire in the house, recommended you let small pieces of ice slowly melt in your mouth. Trouble with that is that the path of denial often leads to premature death, as Loriot was trying to point out with his illustrations drawings, showing a carpet fire at a party grow and eventually sweep up the curtains, as the ice sucking becomes ever more frantic. Its a fantastic old image from the 70s that I recalled recently in the process of preparing my speech for the International Union of Science (ICSU) event at the Rio+20 summit last June.
Waking up is a really good idea. Feels good too, fire or not.
we are racing through articles at the moment and have a big load, sorry about delay in our response, we will respond in more detail tomorrow. We really look forward to conversing and appreciate your kind words. talk tomorrow cheers. Ps we have two more You-tube videos out.
Thank you very much for your comments and encouragement, it is both extremely appreciated and unfortunately, unique. We have quite a few academics overseas who are supportive and assisting us but with the exception of a linguist from Sydney University Australian academics refuse to look. Your talk of past and future being “utterly inseparable” is very much is what the Dreaming is about and that we suspect this circular timeline is what unsettles many academics. It strikes us the accomplishments made through technology and science is not only antagonistic to spiritual welfare but it itself has become a religion. We heard a scientist recently dismissing any concept of spirituality should bow down to “rational thinking”.
Despite the opposition we sense there is a powerful underlying yearning for spiritual fulfillment and that is where the ancient lore of Original Elders and Custodians has a part to play. The reason we have been given sites and knowledge never shared before in the public eye is because they believe this “spiritual poverty” is about to come to an end. There have been countless times where Elders have told us to get this information out now as a change is coming. What that is we are not fully sure, but what we have today is not good enough, it is somewhat like Nero playing the fiddle as Rome burns. When I was given ceremony by the Ramindjeri they made it clear through Wirritjin (Black fella White fella Dreaming) that everyone needs to wake up, all we are trying to do is quicken that process.
For us the last frontier (and reason why our first three books are published by the University Press of America) is the Australian Universities. We have spoken on radio and to the public 50 times but never to an academic audience, I think what we have to say challenges way too many comfortable paradigms for many but obviously not all academics.
Our work is extremely collaborative we have over a dozen experts in a variety of fields sharing and working with us any observations, additions and critiques can only be beneficial and we would welcome any input you may wish to offer as it is obvious from what you have written you are on the same page as us. Once again thanks very much for taking the time to share your observations. Cheers Steve and Evan.
I’m so happy to this this book in print. A congratulations (however belated,) is in order! I’m off to buy a copy!! Maybe you can sign it for me next time you’re in Melbourne.
Hi Kate glad you found my books, would love to sign them for you of course
Also would love to hear your response/reactions etc to my book after you read it. Will hopefully be visiting Melbourne soon anyway. Talk soon Evan.
finally the truth is starting to come to light….for years i have strongly believed in this exiting evidence …i also believe the tasmanian aboriginals are even more ancient than the mainland aboriginals…could this be possible?…maybe they originally walked out of tasmania during one of the many times through the eons that a land bridge was made available…i was told that the mainland aboriginals as far as the top end of australia have strong knowledge of their ancient relitives in tasmania..even maybe implying that tasmania is where it all began….i have been travelling around tasmania for over 35 years and everywhere i go i see obvious sighns of occupancy of land through huge midderns, caves, big old trees dead and alive skillfully hollowed out with fire over time to create a warm dry shelter big enough to accomadate a family to cook and shelter in from the extreem weather here in tas..i have come accross some areas that must of been signifigent importance for supply of appropiate hard rock types for tool making and many other areas of obvious importance…unfortunatly in tasmania the need [or greed] for wood chips, presious metals, land clearing ect is distroying many of the areas loosing vital pieces of the amazing huge puzzle…where i live has pieces to the puzzle…steven you are more than welcome to visit to enrich your knowledge of these amazing people and maybe even find some vital clues for our questions…your findings so far are very impressive and i strongly believe you are on the right track…exellent stuff…THANK YOU!
Yes we do believe that Tasmania along with perhaps Kangaroo island is where the most ancient of the Aboriginal people originated. We mention in our first book Aboriginal Devonprt Elder Tinker Gower said the most ancient artwork at Jinmuim which he felt was nearly 100,000 years old is deriviative of the rock engravings at Devonport Headland. He also agrees with you. In our soon to released fourth book “Shunned” we devote a whole chapter to the Tasmanian story. We claim they were the esoteric masters of the whole of Australia. Our research is never finished nor is our work in Tasmania, hopefully we will get down there soon one day and love to make contact with you down there. Cheers
Thank you so much for helping me with my question about the tasmanian aboriginals possibly being among the most ancient …finding your web site an reading about your findings has helped me more than i can explain…How long before we will see a broad acceptance and aknowledgement of the truth and facts..i hope sooner than later! Theres a lot of sheepeople out there who will take convincing…i have many times bin mocked an laughed at over the years for suggesting this theary could be remotley possible… I have to ask you if you know of Quamby Bluff near Deloraine in tasmania and if the myth and truth have been sorted out that surrounds this special mountain, and do you know of the optical allussions cast by Quamby from curtain angles, this allussion would obviously of bin of tremendous signifigance to the people of this land, maybe place for important ceromony…im sure you would see what im talking about..its huge and as ancient as time herself an a bit difficult to explain?. …. thank you for shareing your vast knowledge,time , obvious commitment an respect to the people who deserve it the most…
dear steven, i am one of these rare individuals ,who has reinherited his dreaming. my past lives memory is vivid. my first life i lived in what is called s.australia “nullabor”. the spirit people “min” came out to view and taught the people the dig and the dreaming. 130,000 yerasago. one site i seen to gravitate to is sarina queensland. in my lives i came back to there sailed with the minangkaba peoples. indigenous man from sarina told about two small stone rubble pyramids in situ. white fellow no nothing of it. how ever a so called pheonican settlement was said to be there, to wit queensland qu st lucia archaeology dept closed the dig down. now some say the artifacts are so many even a cemetary exists. i can’t say ,i haven’t seen this . professor rodreigus mexico museum once described this study of hers,”skeletal remains 20’000 yers ago mexican lakes ‘long headed’ peoples with origins to australia, why did egyptians come to australia . well they have a vegitation god “min” and i’ve heard it said “the min “spirit people own the land. blue balls of light, usually travel in pairs. Greeks held the kaberi ,or kaba iri where the goddess protectors of sea farers Aboriginal women in the n/W Australia Kabairi. Apollo said to be a ball of light, and balls of light associations with “crop circles”i just the white mindset would stop the bullshit . we are all pretty much a one peoples. My nieghbour is Bosnian aboriginal , can’t handle his grog though, wants to fight. other wise he’s a nice guy. So it’s when the longheads left australia on that long walk. “aboriginal of australia responsble for thr rise of egyptian culture, or was it the min. tar nice to see someone stiring the pot. yours john booth.
Have no doubt your past lives are spot on. Equally we also are convinced the Phoenicians came to Australia and we have written a chapter about that, but all the Egyptian stuff has overtaken it. Yes in America there are literally hundreds of remains that belong to the Australian Aboriginal people with very strong geological evidence spanning well into 6 figures. The Egyptians came to Australia in pilgrimage, to learn the esoteric secrets and powers. And of course such a path runs in the direct opposite direction when huge amounts of alcohol get in the way. We believe they left from 50,000 to way into 6 or even 7 figures ago. Thanks for sharing that information also Steven and Evan.
Thanks very much for your nice encouragement look out for the posts for two new you-tube videos today
Hi Steven, sorry if this has been answered but I have read through the messages and I don’t believe it has been. Are you able to shed any light on psychedelic plant use in Aboriginal culture? As far as I understand, there is no known or accepted use of psychedelic plants in Australian Aboriginal culture. The ‘Dreaming’ is very psychedelic sounding and the art work and music including the tapping sticks, didgeridoo and rhythmic chanting all sound like techniques to drive visions. In the Amazon, you’re probably aware that Ayahuasca is used as a sacred spiritual and physical medicine and the art work and musical techniques share similarities including dot paintings and the representation of reptilian creatures in particular. DMT, the main vision producing compound in Ayahuasca (sorry if you know all this, i’m just making sure) is found in many species of acacia, however, I don’t believe there is a native MAOI, the enzyme inhibitor that prevents DMT from breaking down in the stomach and thereby preventing visions. I would be not be surprised to find that they do have a psychedelic culture but that it is very sacred knowledge. Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me.
Hi Col, there are two ways to answer that. The Original people, for all intents and purposes were living in a natural high. The Dreaming reigned supreme and spiritual powers were the drug of choice. Nonetheless, Pitjuri (Somewhat akin to dope)was traded throughout Australia and grew in the Central desert region. we actually thought there was one strain of Acacia that was used like DMT but we cant verify that we will ask around for you. Mountain Cider gum (Eucalyptus gunnii) “wayalinah” was collected in Tasmania around Cradle Mountain it tastes like cointreau, it was collected as a sap and naturally fermented and is quite intoxicating. Hope that helps Cheers will add for information if we find out more, Steven and Evan.
modern aboriginals have no dna relation to mungo man Australia’s oldest skeleton, there are also the Bradshaw paintings that are not of of aborigianl origin. Do you expect people to believe that aboriginals were the first peoples.
Who said the Bradshaws were not Australian Aboriginal in origin? Yes some white commentors eg Graham Walsh (who offended Elders so much he was basically run out town). Yes Mungo man does have what they call an extinct gene, which must mean it is not African. Could I suggest you look at the recent genome sequencing of an Aboriginal hair which goes back at least 75,000 years. With these facts how did they come from Africa 60,000 years ago? Never-the-less we appreciate any critical challenge of our work. Thanks Steve and Evan.
You only have to look at the imagery of the bradshaws, the clothes, hairstyles etc, you can not prove they are of aboriginal origin just by saying that they are. Most people believe the out of africa theory is wrong, I believe Australia had much earlier races of people that were here before the aboriginals arrived. There is much evidence especially sun worship, Stone temples, hand held effigies,advanced stone masonry, all things of a different nature to aboriginal beliefs. History goes back a lot further than what is written, way way way back, a pyramid from the jurassic period was just found in crimea.
3to has Mungo man under lock and key so no one can do further studies on him, why so? He has no link to modern day aboriginals and they should not have the power to hide him.
i congrats on your research on first races out of australia, but im sorry to inform you undocumented evidence exists that proves they were not related to modern day aboriginals. You had better get a different angle to your theories or you will eventually fail.
IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GOSFORD GLYPHS THEN YOU REALLY NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT HANS DEITER SNOFF IS DOING WITH THE CHISEL I FOUND THERE, I GAVE IT TO HIM IN TRUST FOR AS LONG AS UNTIL I REQUIRED IT, NOW I WANT TO GET A PROPER ANALYSIS DONE AND WHERE THE HELL IS HANS, HE IS SUDDENLY DECIDING NOT TO ALLOW ME TO ACCESS THE ARTEFACT I FOUND!
DAN COLLINS
Hi Dan, Without going into details, we too have some issues with Hans which we have managed to resolve. We will write to him and beg that he returns the chisel to you. We must admit whenever we have raised the issue of the stone chisel in the public arena, we always cringe when we have to say it was examined by a gemologist. At best, that is least then 50/50, we need, as you rightly point out, that the chisel should be examined by a geologist or appropriate expert. We also agree once this done this artifact should return to country, Original sensibilities are our guide posts and this artifact is part of their history. The path you allocate is the only one, get it examined and give it back. Dan, we are fully behind you on this issue and we aware by posting these comments on our website it now enters the public arena. We are mindful of this, and apologise any stress this causes Hans, but once you posted this question on this arena we have no choice but to respond as academics and spokes-people for Original Lore. And it is in that capacity, we demand that Hans hands back the ancient artifact to Dan (a person with Original ancestry) who then gets it analysed by the appropriate experts and then returns it to the appropriate Original Elders (of which we know who they are). Steven and Evan Strong.
Study finds ancient genetic link between India and Australia

Thanks for link been meaning to post a link for a while now, Cheers.
Hi Steve. Love your work. Say check out the UFO movie “Out of the Blue.” At 1:18 min +or- you can see a clip of your rock carving UFO with legs. They are seen in the air today… When you talk about them being UFO’s you can show a clip…
thanks Michael for the tip, will look for this movie now Cheers Steve and Evan.
I notice that a lot of opinions are expressed about people travelling by boat from here to there or the other way around. Perhaps there is another way. If the Australian Aborigine is so old, there is a possiblility that land masses have changed (sunk, drifted apart, or risen from under the sea) during the existence of the aborigine. Who is to say that there wasn’t a common land in the middle of the Pacific (Mu or Lemuria?) that broke up and carried parts of a common people on parts of land to America, Australia and Asia? That may account for DNA, “non-native” animals being found in unexpected places. The difficulty is dating all of the various events correctly, and synchronising them.
Cheers.
Jessica, We agree with Hapgood and Einstein that the movement of plates was sudden and catastrophic. full stop we have been given a Dreaming story by an Original Elder of a time when India and Australia were co-joined as one land mass, we have heard Elders call this place Mu, all of our ancient history is a lie at the moment you are right “The difficulty is dating all of the various events correctly, and synchronising them”, cheers Steve and Evan.
Thanks again, two more videos are out on you-tube, cheers.
pleased to hear it has helped, please let others know, two new you-tubes out, cheers.
Thanks, two new you-tube videos out as well. Cheers
Thanks for your interest and appreciate any comments you would like to offer. Steve and Evan.
Apparently this site was a colony in th e making and something went wrong apparently the UFO and clyinders cound not land or the magnatices were reversing for some reason and they began making repairs and they were constructing places the clyinders which also had problems they were full and a evacuation began apparently then sent or recieved a destress call for the Nazi bell like messaging system which gave then a update or instruction and apparently the sun was flaring up also, so they went inderground for safety leaving some behind to ride out the storm. Bernie Mendez
As you know Bernie this fits into what we have been told- no problems with any of what you just said Cheers Steve and Evan.
