Aboriginies had a civilisation? That's a first. Roll Eyes


Before the Angles and the Saxons had their’s forced on them by the Italians?

Who knows? Anything’s possible.


The civilisation you are referring to wasn't Italian. Rome became a civilisation due to the elites who moved out of Greece and Macedonia.

Both the Angles and the Saxons were originally Germanic. It was Germanic Celts that once sacked Rome. All the Romans did was employ more people in their armies in order to completely overwhelm the Germanics. Unlike the Abos who had their butts kicked without us having to do much at all.


They also built an empire, whose industry and trade was not matched until after the industrial revolution started. But let's not get lost in the details eh?


Not details, FD. Freeedom.

The Abos couldn't even invent a wheel!


But given the conditions in Australia, and their cultural level, there wouldn't have been any point to inventing the wheel...It's not like carts or wagons were usable in the terrain.

We’ve seen it all now, FD. Now we’ve got spineless apologists for boongs.

Ask FD about development, Gizmo. FD knows that if Brittainia didn’t rule the waves, someone else would have.

Correlation not causation, innit. If the Pakistanis didn’t invent the cultivation of wheat, the boongs wouldn’t have invented the stick, Mother wouldn’t have invented details, and China wouldn’t be buying our coking coal.

It is a jolly world, no?

No not an apologist, just know that hunter gatherers generally don't use or invent the wheel. That doesn't usually happen until the agrarian stage.

Did you hear that, Taipan? Agrarian.

Gizmo, the Abos did invent the stick, didn’t they? Taipan’s a bit hush-hush on that.

FD thinks they should have invented an empire, but couldn’t we just say they borrowed one from us?

That's the point of 'cultural isolation' that I am making.
The Anglo-Saxons wiped out the original 'indigenous' Britons at 99% success rate. The motivation to build 'Boats' came to being able to see the distant Briton coastline and its just a short trip across the Channel.
The Aboriginals 'walked' across into Australia and even when the water's rose, the tribes (Carpentarian) around the north still used small water-craft.

The Anglo-Saxons had the 'stimulation', first in regards to who they wiped out and then with influx from Danish (Scandinavians) from the north, more Germanics and even small pockets of Gauls. Half of the Irish came from 'via Spain/Portugal' (Iberia) and before that : Cathage, Lebanon and down from the Balkans.  Throw in the Romans who were already well stimulated 'culturally' and you can see how the Anglo-Saxons (West Germans?  Tongue) learned more than what they originally had. Even still, at the time of the first Roman 'habituation' (Invasion came later) - the Anglo-Saxons were nothing more than a primitive 'forest' people with Druidic 'naturalism/animism' beliefs. Stonehenge and Barrows were as good as it got.

Being 'Nomadic' had its cultural advantages - they got to visit many other cultures and share ideas, but the Aboriginals got cut off and forgotten. A sanctuary from the world's problems or a Prison for 40,000 lifetimes? Sad

Its kinda sad seeing people who are totally dependent upon 'City' living and couldn't cope with life on the 'outside' - institutionalised. Roll Eyes
