FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Tens of thousands of Aboriginal rock art treasures in Western Australia’s remote Pilbara region will be researched, catalogued and promoted under an agreement between the University of WA and mining giant Rio Tinto.
The six-year, $1.08 million agreement will focus on one of the world’s richest collections of indigenous rock art in the National Heritage-listed Dampier Archipelago, about 1500km north of Perth.
The rock art is known to be thousands of years old and includes pictures of Tasmanian tigers, which became extinct on the Australian mainland about 3500 years ago.
Archaeologists will use modern technology to more accurately date its origins.
UWA and and Rio Tinto announced the agreement on Monday with the appointment of Professor Jo McDonald as chairwoman of Rock Art Studies.
The Dampier Archipelago has the largest concentration of rock art in the world, with an estimated one million petroglyphs (carvings), and is the only Australian site on the World Monuments Fund’s list of 100 most endangered heritage places on Earth.
