Just thought you guys who visited the Kariong hieroglyphs and Aboriginal rock art that they are now under possible threat from housing developement in the area. Go to http://www.expressadvocate.com.au to get the full story.

I read the article and this just sux. With all the room in Australia to build housing developments, why put a national treasure at risk?

Australians in this article who are committing this outrage sound like Americans! And here I thought it was just us.

I was there again a couple of Months ago and saw all the new Lots marked out. The location will never be the same again.

I’m a bit unfamiliar with the story behind these “hieroglyphics”. Do they have any significance beyond nostalgia or are they just someone’s bush art?

Yeah

id like to know what is the earliest record of these markings ??

If theres a carving of Anubis on there, they might just be of Egyptian origin. Egyptians were well traveled when they were around.

Here's a bit more info on hieroglyphs in general.

Ive seen the lots marked out too but dont think the actual site is sold or up for sale. I think its too rocky and steep. Could end up someones back yard though i guess. There is no definite thing with those carvings. They mightnt be what they seem. Maybe not that old. I did see though that someone had wrecked that underground thing if i was looking in the right place
