What Scientists Found at Australia's 6,600-Year-Old Stone City Has Shocked the Entire World

In this video, we uncover the true story of Budj Bim, Australia's 12,000-year-old stone city built by the Gunditjmara people. Learn how this ancient aquaculture system – older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids – was engineered to farm eels across a volcanic landscape.

Key topics covered:
- The geology of Budj Bim and how volcanic lava flows provided the building material
- The Gunditjmara's sophisticated network of stone channels, weirs, ponds, and smoking houses
- The nuclear dating techniques that revealed the system is 6,600 years old
- How the 2019-2020 bushfires uncovered hidden sections of the aquaculture network
- Why this discovery challenges the colonial narrative of Aboriginal Australia

Based on extensive archaeological research and collaboration with Gunditjmara traditional owners, this video presents the evidence that rewrites Australian history. You'll gain a deeper understanding of one of the world's oldest and most extensive engineered landscapes – and why it remained hidden in plain sight for so long.
