What Scientists Keep Finding in Kakadu Has Shocked the Entire World

Kakadu National Park contains approximately 5,000 confirmed Aboriginal rock art sites. Archaeologists believe the real number is closer to 15,000. A rock shelter inside its boundaries produced the oldest confirmed evidence of human occupation in Australia at 65,000 years, 18,000 years older than what science had accepted. The X-ray art at Ubirr is described by researchers as a unique artistic achievement found nowhere else on Earth. And most of the park's sandstone escarpment has never been formally surveyed. Scientists keep finding things in Kakadu that make headlines in journals around the world. This is what they have found so far.
