Aboriginal Oral Traditions of Australian Meteorite Craters

https://www.academia.edu/3661271/Aborigi...te_Craters

Quote:In this paper we explore Aboriginal traditions relating to Australian impact craters and seek to find out if these traditions describe craters as originating from a cosmic impact. Data used in this paper were collected from ethnographic field-work, published ethnographies, historical and ethno-historical documents, linguistic source and Aboriginal artworks. This paper represents a synthesis of Aboriginal traditions regarding confirmed Australian impact craters and includes new information that has not been reported previously in the literature.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

- Bertrand Russell
