| Western
experts suggest the Aborigines migrated from the northern countries
(i.e.. Asia) during an Ice Age when the seas iced over. This
caused the continental boundaries to expand while reducing ocean
barriers and consequently made it easier for animals and early
humans to travel from continent to continent. During the last
ice age it has been estimated that the water levels were 150
metres lower than they are now. |
When the
ice melted, seas began covering much of the land, flooding
valleys and hunting grounds. This corresponds with the Aboriginal
Dreaming which has been passed on through many generations.
The Dreaming
also records changes in the environment and sea levels which
scientific evidence can now collaborate.
