ABORIGINES AND LEMURIAN ART

This stamp features as a centerpiece a painting I created in 1973.

It is painted with earth pigments gathered in nature by the artist.

This includes charcoal, ground in a mortar, wood ash mixed

with casein (milk) glue, and decomposed granite and other

minerals. It is painted on rough plywood.

I used sticks as paint brushes, much like the Australian

aborigines.

Blavatsky, a major 19th century theorist about  Lemuria,

speculated that Australian tribespeople are remnants of a sudden

continent, (which was originally named Lemuria by a conventional

paleontologist).

In some of my Lemurian stamp series I depicted tribal

figures such as Bear Man and the Old Soup Maker,

each based on some of my paintings proliferating with

striated pictographic marks not dissimilar to Aboriginal art.

The rock art in the Modoc Lava Beds north of Mt. Shasta

is the oldest in California. However it is dated by archaeologists

to be only 10,000 years old, which would put it in the late

Atlantean period. Many have speculated that some symbolic

forms in Native American rock art may be elements from

an Atlantean alphabet.

The Aborigines are said to have lived in Australia for 50,000

years. This is the time frame set for Lemurian tribal culture.

Atlantis is said to have sunk 10,000 years ago.

Epigraphers such as Berry Fell of Australia are well known

for attributing the Phoenicians, ancient Irish, Libyans and

others for leaving elements of their writing in the Americas.
