Indigenous issues aren't always interesting to a lot of people. But the numbers alone are so staggering. Some theories say Australian Aborigines may have been on the continent more than 150,000 years. By contrast 'ancient' Egypt or Greece, or any number of other supposedly ancient civilizations, don't even make 5000 years. And what's even more staggering is that those cultures and civilizations largely collapsed, whereas the Australians just kept on existing, and still do today.
