What Scientists Keep Finding Beneath Uluru Has Shocked the Entire World

Uluru is the most photographed rock on Earth and one of the least understood. Beneath the surface, scientists have confirmed it extends up to six kilometres underground, meaning what tourists see is only a fraction of the total structure. Around its base, archaeological evidence confirms at least 30,000 years of continuous Aboriginal occupation. Geologists only worked out how it formed in the last thirty years, and the story involves a tectonic collision powerful enough to tilt entire mountain ranges. This is what scientists have found at the most iconic landmark in Australia, and most of it has never made it into the tourist brochure.
