  • who wrote this script

  • PRoof of human sacrifice at 0:35 - butchery pattern on human body.

  • I can't believe she said 'primitive'!

    'primitive' history book... OMG

  • it could have been worse.

    She could have called the Aboriginal people "savages"

  • haha who gave this a negative comment? jesssssus

  • HAHAHAh i thought she said "cacadodo park"

    hahahhaa

  • they didnt want to be advanced as u say like the europeans they had plenty of chances to but they likes the way their lives were pace ful no gadgests u are part of the nature and plus no guns wat a world they had

  • Ok perhaps they have less achievements as a people than westerners but individually they are way smarter than us. Do you know how to build a car or a computer? Or microwave? Or even a stone knife? Everything that make you "superior" is invented and made by someone else. Its like if you were flown to Everest in a helicopter and claiming you are a better mountaineer that someone who climbed Ben Nevis.

  • Dude, making a stone knife is a little less mathmatically difficult than making a computer, k. I know that you are trying to give respect to ancient tribes but c'mon

  • these guys were smarter than us, did you know that? the only reason they didnt advance in techology was because they were smart.

    Hell, your telling these guys that they were stupid? HAHA, please, thats funny. They were smart, even maybe smarter than us all together.

    Technology and control kills the mind, makes us think things we needn't. Such as living simply. Who wants to live complicated?

  • Id have to agree technology leaves us to do less thinking for ourselves loosing more instinct in every step of the evolution path as many believe

    we are devolving

    technology i think complicates and destroys the true essence of human life or is it the that the next step in evolution not human at all but technology

    So if it where me i would choose to live the simple way these natives do i life of bliss

  • agreed

  • wow thought the chinese and the greeks had history.

    these people lived here for 100,000 yrs.

    lets study their philosophy

  • Your definition of advancement is subjective at best. Another, equally subjective, point of view might suggest that we ("advanced" civilizations) are slowly killing ourselves with the very technology we pride ourselves on.

  • agreed, these people are ignorant

  • I've got some rock art videos. Only not quite as impressive.

  • Meh, not everyone can be NatGeo :)

  • That so cool. They have limited colours and they can still paint such pieces of art. Its sad that their hardwork are being neglected and left to rot...

  • I thought human history was like 10 000 years old, tops

  • Well, 8,000 B.C. was when Cro-Magnons, the modern human began. Before that, (which is what this is talking about, I think) there were Neanderthals which were more primitive. But you are right, actual drawings and written history began with the Cro-Magnons.

  • Believe it or not Human History actually began back as early as 200,000 years. Neanderthals started like in the 400,000 years. Thats what my Anthropology professor said.

    I just realized that Australian Aboriginals look kind of like Neanderthals.

    Interesting thing is that there are only 4 true races. Black, White, Asian and Austrailian Aboriginal. Cool how Austrialian aboriginal get there own race.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah but they have different DNA than africans

  • Comment removed

  • technichally yes,

    there skin are darker then most africans.

  • Seriously... lol

  • its all continuous, humans never really "started"

  • indeed, also I think aboriginals were simply just the one of the first human groups to leave africa. I thin kthats why they have art they were very creative ,I mean you have to be creative to reach austrailia 100.000 years ago ,that means they knew how to make little rafts or even kano's or little boats.........wow

  • written human history you mean

  • cool

  • I want some of that for my wall!!!

  • I want to see that before I die.

  • its such a shame that white people have completely ass fucked some of the world's most beautiful cultures.

  • no one did anything to these u dumb ass

  • he wasn't talking about only this.

  • white people arent the only ones whose fucked over cultures. moron

  • yeah, but white people are the best culture fuck-overs though.

  • yeap

  • Could you sound any more prejudice?

    ALL races have good and bad...your statement makes a mockery out of viewing people as individuals. There are a LOT of "white" people who do appreciate culture. I"m one. Open your mind & heart.

  • I like the way the narrator completely glosses over it...

  • that was good

  • omg you know that kagaroo it's in my social studies book in school

  • i found that to be very interesting indeed.

  • that is really cool, i remember seeing native american paintings when i was in Minnesota with the boy scouts

  • very interesting!

  • very interesting : )

  • wow all that art is stunning. its awesome to see people carrying on even today.

  • i live in this great country i must go there soon , australia is great . the lucky country we are called.

  • Wow, Im going to get the first comment! haha! Well, I must say that this art is very beautiful and it's a shame that it's a dying art.
