At more than 40,800 years old, "this is currently Europe's oldest dated art by at least 4,000 years," said the study's lead author Alistair Pike, an archaeologist at the University of Bristol in the U.K.

What are these 'signs' you are talking about? Yes I know about the usage of signage in public places that promoted segregation, but I'm sure there aren't places like that now. Are you referring to the 'no trespassing signs' on the edges of certain sacred land spots that are now legally owned by Aboriginals? Well, how would you like someone coming onto your property uninvited, trashing up your sacred place?? I'm pretty sure trespassing is illegal no matter who you are. You can get permission from elders to go onto the land, to appreciate it's history and culture if you would like to. Otherwise, it's trespassing, plain and simple.

Consider these verses from the ancient Mahabharata: “…a single projectile Charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame As bright as the thousand suns Rose in all its splendor… a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds …the cloud of smoke rising after its first explosion formed into expanding round circles like the opening of giant parasols …it was an unknown weapon, An iron thunderbolt, A gigantic messenger of death, Which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas. …The corpses were so burned As to be unrecognisable. The hair and nails fell out; Pottery broke without apparent cause, And the birds turned white. After a few hours all foodstuffs were infected …to escape from this fire the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment.”
Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mecrcury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.
he Hakatha (Laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously:
"The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from 'those from upon high'. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives."

hindu pictures and vedas scriptures are harder to explain away than these aboriginal paintings.
vimanas. sci-fi weapons. atomic wars. pictures of flying machines. descriptions of propulsion systems for the vimanas.

actually; i think only a person living in a skinner box their entire life would think that's plagiarism. firstly its of fair use length. secondly it's in quote boxes to differentiate it from my own text. thirdly my own text typically has missing capitalization, grammatical errors and punctuation omissions that the quoted texts always lack. anyone who would mistake it for carefully edited text in citations is a few cans short of a six pack. your accusation of plagiarism is specious. to atone you may bust up your modem with a hammer and eat it. and this reply contains two lines that in fact really are plagiarism.
