Rewriting Australia’s History:
The
Egyptian Connection

By Steve Strong
The Kariong Glyphs site is the most argued over and
controversial
archaeological site in Australia. Decried as utterly bogus by authorities and
sceptics, it is an archaeological ‘poison chalice.’ My colleagues and I have
been denounced as “dumb and dumber,” “liars,” motivated by “money” while
working in an “unscientific” manner driven by an unstated “agenda,” simply
because we find fault in every explanation of a hoax and merit in the notion
that some of hieroglyphs were carved by ancient Egyptians.
Found in the Central Coast of NSW, there are two sandstone
walls at a site that is still extremely difficult to locate. These walls have
close to 300 engravings. Some claim they are a random mixture of ancient
scripts done recently, others believe they are a genuine example of the
earliest style of Egyptian writing (Proto-Egyptian). There are so many rumours
and stories accounting for their presence, too many to canvas now, but there
are a couple of explanations that seem to be the most convenient, and have
become the “accepted versions”.
Without doubt the two most popular offerings relate to them
merely being the scratchings of a “deranged Yugoslav” concocted in the late
70’s, or the actions and chisels of mischievous archaeology students from
Sydney University in the early 80’s. According to National Parks and Wildlife
Service, the engravings were created no earlier than 1983.
Such was the passionate and widespread conviction that the
site is a hoax, my colleagues and I could never commit ourselves fully to
believe it was a genuine ancient Egyptian artefact. On previous visits to the
walls we had devoted less than five minutes to actually examining the
hieroglyphs; it was far safer to focus on all the archaeology with Egyptian
undertones surrounding the site and let others argue over who and when. That
was before. Once we began filming an interview with the two Original
spokespeople for the site (Egyptians
in Australia-Part 2), everything changed. Until that day we had listed the
Kariong Glyphs as ‘number 52′ in our collection of
60 odd pieces of evidence substantiating an ancient Egyptian presence in
Australia. After speaking to Aunty Beve and David Fitzgerald, the glyphs have
been repositioned at ‘number 1′ with daylight running a distant second.
Aunty Beve is one of the last Darkinjung Elders. She is
the keeper of the women’s stories and one of the very few who has the right to
speak on Original Lore and Dreaming stories in this tribal region. Her word on
such matters can not be challenged. Up until now, whenever asked about an
Egyptian involvement in creating the hieroglyphs in the area, Aunty Beve always
refused to make any public statement.
This time she broke her silence.
She revealed that the engravings on the two walls were
created by “Old Egyptians,” noting that her ancestors “all told us that story.”
She also explained why many of the carvings look incredibly fresh and well
tended, and certainly don’t exhibit thousands of years’ wear and tear or build
up of rock varnish, as one would expect;- In ancient times the women would use
their urine to clean the engravings on a regular basis. Aunty Beve went even
further in noting there are other carved hieroglyphs in the region (of which we
are aware of two) that are “far older” and are “not Egyptian,” but were created
by Australians! Could this mean the Egyptians learnt the art of writing with
hieroglyphs whilst in Australia while under Original tutelage?

While the concept of ‘writing beginning in Australia’ may
seem somewhat radical, it isn’t. Respected academics including Lesley Maynard
and Robert Bednarik have stated that the engraved symbols found at Panaramitee
(SA) may be the initial inspiration behind all forms of written communication.
Bednarik conducted a ‘straw poll’ to test the likelihood that Original people
“invented” the first alphabet/codified set of symbols. Bednarik was convinced
that some of the art of other continents resembled the Panaramitee. He sent out
copies of seven unlabelled drawings of engravings (mainly circles and
arrow-like marks resembling bird tracks) and asked eight rock art specialists
to identify whether they were Panaramitee style or not. In fact they were all
from North and South America, Africa and Europe. The score of wrong answers was
an abysmal 98%, which led Bednarik to suggest that, “It is not possible to
identify a Panaramitee style or … it is a world wide style.”
With the benefit of hindsight and Aunty Beve’s guidance, it
is now obvious Bednariks’ second option of “a world wide trend” was indeed the
answer he sought.
Aunty Beve provided an historical Black-fella perspective
in the interview while David completed the picture by providing a White-fella
update, replete with “cloak and dagger” business. David Fitzgerald was a
“building contractor and unofficial sites finder” for National Parks and
Wildlife Services Brisbane Waters, and is a blood descendant of the mighty
warrior Pemulwuy. He first became aware of the site in 1978, at least 5 years
before NPWS claim they first knew of the hieroglyphs. David was very open in
acknowledging there was a deliberate cover-up, and that it took some haggling
by him (and even a degree of “bribery”) before they showed him the two walls in
1978.
He was taken on dusk and made to promise he would never
speak of it to others. What he first saw was a huge accumulation of natural
debris wedged between the two walls with only the top levels of hieroglyphs
visible. The rest was submerged under tonnes of litter. According to David the
collection of trees, branches, rocks and debris had built up “over decades.”
David and his co-workers, under the direction of NPWS, took “two full days to
clean up.” This advanced state of disrepair casts serious doubt upon the
most popular version of the supposed skulduggery that led to this hoax being
created.
The story goes no more three years before this massive
clean-up occurred. Alan Dash, a surveyor working for Gosford Council, found a
‘deranged Yugoslav’ exiting the two walls with chisel in hand and assumed he
was responsible for the exotic graffiti. Dash then walked in and examined the
walls freely with barely a twig beneath his feet. Outside the incredibly remote
possibility that tonnes upon tonnes of debris accumulated on this site in less
than a thousand days, one of these accounts is plainly wrong.
With the Dash version virtually dismissed, I raised with
David the possibility that Sydney University students were responsible. Of
course, since this is claimed to have occurred in 1983 and David saw the two
walls slowly reveal their narratives five years earlier, such a scenario was
already not feasible. But as is often the case, many lies have their genesis in
a truth, no matter how convoluted. Yes, the date was 1983. And yes, students
from Sydney University were on site and standing between the walls. David
should know – he took them there! But the notion that these same students then
engraved the entire gallery had, at least, a small fingernail of truth within;-
one of the students began scratching at the a glyph with her fingernail, David
was far from impressed and made it clear she stop immediately. Soon after he
escorted them from the site.
I
asked David if, during these early stages, anyone from NPWS objected or claimed
it was just a clever hoax. “Most definitely not, they were all blown away.” But
the common reaction from those who ‘decide’ is that they “wanted nothing to do
with it.” David was told “to forget about it” and “not to mention a word to
anyone.” Everything was clothed in secrecy, and until rumours and talk quickly
spread, it was hoped the whole inconvenient Egyptian affair would disappear and
fade back into the Australian scrub. When responding to my question in relation
to what avenues were available to him to counter the lies and denials coming
out of NPWS and further up, he pointed out if he did object any further he
would be “in danger of losing any contracts.”
In researching Original history and lore, my colleagues
and I take our cues from the region’s Elders and custodians. Aunty Beve and
David’s testimony is the final word – some of the glyphs on the Central Coast
of NSW are Egyptian. Whatever the unnamed ‘deranged Yugoslav’ chiselled, Alan
Dash saw, or devious students engraved is just the White-fella’s take on
history…. a sorry story that has been blindly accepted for centuries.
Our brief is simple; report as given (not amended or
sanitised) the information shared with us by the Original custodians of lore
and culture. After all, they were here when it happened.
For my colleagues and I, the final word on this debate
belongs to the first recorded reference of the Kariong/Egyptian accord. King
Bungaree was a highly respected Original Elder of the region, and in 1896 a
compendium of his Dreaming stories and local knowledge was published. Reference
was made by him to a Kariong Dreaming story about “two brothers” who came here
in “great canoes.” Misfortune befell them and one was “bitten by a snake,” died
and was “buried“ near the walls.
Three Original keepers of lore stand united in testimony,
and from our point of view all questions of authenticity are no longer an
issue. There are Egyptian hands at work, that is definite, and equally there is
evidence of their presence everywhere around this site, and many other places.
We suspect there are at least two narratives on these walls, and that the more
recent account details the arrival and tragedies associated with two sons of a
Pharaoh. The scribe for Nefer-Djeseb and Nefer-Ti-Ru made note of being
“stranded in this wretched land” and that their chances of returning were
negligible. They experienced “drought”, and for reasons unstated Nefer-Ti-Ru made
his way “westward” for “two seasons.” Unfortunately, while returning, he was
“bitten” not once but “twice” by a “snake”, died, and was buried near the two
walls.
At the most simplistic level, those three sentences
paraphrase the Egyptian narrative as supplied by Ray Johnson. He was the first
to understand why previous academics dismissed the symbols as a haphazard
mixture of ancient scripts; none were familiar with the most ancient form of
Egyptian hieroglyph:- Proto-Egyptian. Johnson went to Egypt and presented his
research to the Director General of the Cairo Museum, Dr. Abu Dhia Ghazi, who
confirmed his interpretation was correct.
But that is nowhere near the end of this significant
emerging truth. We are convinced the younger set of engravings is possibly
4,770 years old, but the older narrative could date back much, much further.
When my colleagues and I ask for guidance on how far back and from where the
inspiration came, the response is always the same; every tribal group we have
met or know of carries one constant, one Dreaming story that transcends
boundaries: the Seven Sisters, Pleiades. On those walls, we suspect this same
story, celestial place and direct genetic involvement is recorded in stone.
For now enough of Kariong. I could discuss it in more
detail, but the engravings are too detailed and need 3000 words for the
briefest coverage. In the November/December edition of New Dawn we go into more detail
and separate the two accounts, one of earthy origin and one from the stars. Our
aim here was to establish the authenticity of the site, and because of this
truth these two sandstone walls and associated archaeology rewrite Australian
and world history, pose questions about why the Egyptians came here, and
challenge fundamental assumptions made about the role the Australian Original
people had in global pre-historic times and genetics.
Long before the Egyptians sailed to Australia, or any
race for that matter, people from this continent sailed to other
continents all over the world. In many of our articles and books we have
presented a bounty of evidence substantiating an actual Original presence in
many locations, and of course Egypt has been a prominent destination discussed
in detail in our first book “Constructing a New World Map.”
Mummification, as with earlier examples we have presented,
is assumed to be something uniquely Egyptian. It isn’t. Mummification is a
common Original funerary ceremony and occurs at a variety of places throughout
Australia. One mummified corpse, along with a canoe used in these rituals, was
stolen from Darnley Island (Torres Strait) in 1875 by members of the Shervert
expedition. Momentarily ignoring the dubious ethics of such desecration, it is
worth noting that “world renowned medical scientist Sir Raphael Cilento, who
examined the corpse stated the incisions and method of embalming to be the same
as those employed in Egypt during the 21st to 23rd dynasties over 2,900 years
ago.”

And recently, an announcement was made by a team of
scientists from a British Museum who “discovered from 1,000 years B.C. onwards,
eucalyptus resin (only found in Australia) was used in Egypt when embalming the
dead,” which further demonstrate this ancient link between Australia and Egypt.

What needs to be understood is that the Original influence
in Egypt is not just related to higher realms of the esoteric, limited to a
select few, but had spread throughout the landscape. In the eyes of most
Australians, where there are gum leaves so too koalas, kangaroos and sundry
native species. That being the case, the Cairo
Times (1982) report that “archaeologists working at Fayum, near the
Siwa Oasis uncovered fossils of kangaroos and other Australian marsupials”
would seem to be yet another way of restating the obvious. [2]
In what is possibly the most famous example of a
long-standing Australo-Egyptian formal liaison, the discovery in King Tut’s
tomb of a dozen wooden boomerangs, each of a unique design and typical
Original patterning, should have caused a huge unrest within Australian
academic circles. Instead it was met with a deafening silence. Is this apathy?
Or an inconvenient truth of massive proportions? [3] [4] [5]
My colleagues and I were recently contacted by 3 separate
sources over 3 consecutive days, and in each case (bar one specific narrowing
of focus) the news was as identical as it was amazing; the gold used in
Tut’s tomb was carrying an Australian ‘signature’. We have since tried to
chase up the credentials of this claim. As things stand it is a work in
progress. Perhaps some Wake
Up World readers may be able to add
more?
Ancient Egyptians in Australia. Ancient Australians in
Egypt. None of this can be found in text books or school curriculum in any part
of Australia. What makes me sad is that this glaring omission from Australia’s
history does not stand alone; it is merely one chapter among many. Equally, it
needs to be acknowledged that the Egyptians were but one of many nations that
made contact with the First Australians. The Phonecians, Chinese, Vikings,
Spanish, Portuguese and Amerindians all walked on these shores well before
Cook. And all, bar the British, stayed for a period of time and left when
asked. So much has been lost and stolen since the invasion, but in the spirit
of Wirritjin (Black-fella White-fella Dreaming) the Original keepers of lore
are revealing secrets never before shared, of a past and a heritage that was
never forgotten – just hidden until the time is right.

[i]n February 1964 the tomb of a woman, probably dating
back to 1,000 B.C., was found on the site of an ancient city in the Jordan
Valley. Examination of the body suggested that eucalyptus oil had been
used to embalm it. The only sources then of such oil were the gum-trees
of Australia and New Guinea. Now, of course, they are relatively common
overseas but only since Baron von Mueller instituted a seed exchange between
Australia and other parts of the world … [Terry 1967: p. 21]
