Aboriginal Folklore Leads To Meteorite Crater

An anonymous reader writes "An Australian Aboriginal dreaming story has helped experts uncover a meteorite impact crater in the outback of the Northern Territory. From the article: 'One story, from the folklore of the Arrernte people, is about a star falling to Earth at a site called Puka. This led to a search on Google Maps of Palm Valley, about 130 km southwest of Alice Springs. Here Hamacher discovered what looked like a crater, which he confirmed with surveys in the field in September 2009.'"

    what they dont tell you about is that it was not a meteor, rather the hole dug by the repeated rapings of children by aboriginal elders. dead giveaway is the thousands of vb tins strewn around the edges, the ancient cause of "dreamtime"

  3. what the story doesn't mention... by Adolf+Hitroll · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...is that they later kicked the drunk aborigens asses out of this place and put them in some camps where they'll hopefully extinct.

    This is what the Brits and they fucking offspring do: extinguish races.

    I heard they were headed to Yemen even though they're not finished with Iraq or Afghanistan... Sorry fucktards.

    "Primitive" in regards to peoples is deprecated. The past few generations of our culture has consumed our resources as quickly as they could, without thought to our children, or our children's children. This is a failure, a divorce from nature, of darwinian proportions. I'm sad to note that some of our contemporaries that I have spoken to intend to procreate and still in their own lifetime use up the resources of their own offspring.

    Speaking as a human male intent of protecting my young, I'm well within my rights to become a force of natural selection. We must soon advance on a personal level to no longer need more than the quintessential Australian aboriginal. Imagine, if you will, yourself in their clothes by the side of a road as a glutton in a SUV drives by, when re-evaluate the meaning of "primitive".

    pouring money into aborigional art and expression (hip-hop, dance and so on).

    Hip-hop is an aboriginal Australian form of expression?

    No, but niggers are nothing more than mainland aborigines, so it works

    Oh OK. For a minute I thought that the dying off of cultures and civilizations was the result of supernatural causes, and thus could be thought of as immoral.

    Wait a minute. What the fuck are you trying to say?
