Ready to rip your templates to shreds again? Then fasten your seat belts and hold on tight - here we go!

There is a country where everything is upside down …

What do we know about Australia? Until 1606 - until it was "discovered" by William Janszon, a Dutch loyal subject - practically nothing. Aborigines lived there for themselves, according to official data - 40-60 thousand years, did not touch anyone, lived in harmony with nature and honored their ancestors who created this world. How did they get there? It's very simple - they arrived by sea from Asia, at a time when New Guinea and Tasmania were still part of the mainland. But excuse me, 40-60 thousand years ago - this is the period of the Late Paleolithic, the Stone Age, before the "appearance" of agriculture for at least another 30 thousand years, what kind of shipbuilding and navigation can we talk about? If we take only official representations, without any alternative points of view, how do you imagine overcoming thousands of kilometers on a wooden raft, or, at worst, a boat, even taking into account the "respite" on separate small islands that will be encountered on the way? If you have a cozy cave, where a caring wife, kids and a mammoth stew "in Asian style" are always waiting for you, then why should you set off on an unknown voyage, no one knows where and why, what are the chances that you will not die in the first storm with your family, or will you not be carried by the current to the steep banks, where you will meet your doom? But, as often happens, one phrase decides the fate of entire nations, saying that "they somehow did it." And to challenge this is more expensive for yourself.

As you can see at the beginning of the post, the natives are different. It is especially striking for the uchon that there are a lot of golden-haired aborigines in Australia and on the neighboring islands, who, as we have already seen among the Ainu, have lush facial hair:

This "Rodnover" is also an Australian aborigine

To the north of Australia, on a group of islands called Melanesia, there are indigenous blond people. This is strange, considering that in such latitudes it is difficult to meet people with fair skin, and even more so with fair hair. But up to 10% of the indigenous people are blonde. Where do these blondes come from in Melanesia? Maybe from Europe? Geneticists immediately denied this version. A study of the genome of European and Melanesian people showed that different genes are responsible for their hair color - in Melanesians, the TRP1 gene is responsible for blondeness, and in Europeans, the MC1R gene. According to the conclusion of scientists, the mutation in the Melanisians occurred from 5 to 30 thousand years ago. However, it is not clear how the mutation acquired such a massive character.

Australia's connection with Egypt:

And until 1606, everyone paints Australia as an unknown southern continent, "terra incognita", and signs Antarctica with this name, for example here:

And he named the mainland that we now know as Australia, Captain Matthew Flinders in his "Voyage to Terra Australis" in 1814.

If I allowed myself any innovation, it would be the conversion of the name of the continent to "Australia", as it is more pleasing to the ear and is combined with the names of other great parts of the world.

Williem Janszon called this land New Holland, and this name was assigned to it until 1814. But Australia acquires full outlines on maps only after 1788, the first image of the west coast appears only in 1657, half a century after its "discovery":

The map is clickable

She is depicted in the same manner until the 80s of the 18th century, the southeast has not been explored, except for the island of Tasmania, which is called "Van-Diemens Land".

1690:

1705:

1760:

And then suddenly the great colonialists, after 180 years of inactivity, suddenly "opened" the southeast, and began to found the first cities and settlements there. Doesn't it seem strange to you? And what is 1788? After all, this is the culmination of the 15 - year struggle for power in the world in 1773 - 1788, which is reflected in Russia by the suppression of the Pugachev rebellion of 1773 - 1775, and in America - as the war for the independence of the United States of 1775 - 1783, the same thing, we saw one to one in the USA, the same is true throughout Russia - the abrupt founding of cities, the abrupt subjugation of numerous territories … Australia becomes a colony of Great Britain, and new central cities of Australia are founded:

Adelaide

Sydney

Melbourne

Well, you know what I'm getting at.

Cities

This time I post everything that is, all the trump cards with minor comments.

Melbourne. It was founded in 1803 on a river with a typical English name YARRA. It was built in record time, and so on, and so on, as we already know - the lack of materials, the heat is terrible, the lack of funding, but still managed, ate a lot of porridge blah blah blah.

Enjoy.

Oh, confused, sorry. Here it is:

Pay attention to the salty protrusions (or efflorescence) on the pillars. Similar efflorescence on the temple of Hephaestus in Athens:

And a bas-relief on it, where we see Mercury with a caduceus and an unknown goddess (I could not find a better image):

And this one too

Sydney

After the American Revolutionary War broke out in 1776, the Americans refused to accept the convicts sent to them from Great Britain, and British prisons began to overflow. It was decided by Parliament and the Colonial Secretary Sydney (who was a friend of the botanist Banks) to send prisoner settlers to Botany Bay in order to establish a new British colony there.

Do you understand who was sent to deal with people? The Kolyma resident is right to say, by whose hands all the "grandiose" events of the world history with thousands of those killed and tortured were made.

The first fleet, organized by the British Navy, of 11 ships and vessels (2 warships - the flagship HMS Sirius, a ten-gun armed merchant ship, 511 tons, and an armed tender HMS Supply 175 tons for a messenger service, 6 transports with prisoners, from 278 up to 452 tons, and 3 supply vessels, from 272 to 378 tons), led by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788. On closer inspection of the shores of Botany Bay, this place was found to be insufficiently suitable for the establishment of a new colony, primarily due to the lack of fresh water, salt and exposure to winds.

Why such an ammunition load, if they are taking criminals to prison? Have you seen a convoy guarding convicts with a light machine gun or cannons?

On January 26, 1788, the entire First Fleet moved from Botany to Port Jackson, and anchored in this small circular cove, later called Sydney cove, located in the middle of the long 20-kilometer Sydney Harbor.) the ramified bay of Port Jackson. Captain Arthur Phillip announced the annexation of New South Wales to Great Britain, the establishment of the first settlement here, and that he was henceforth the first governor of New South Wales. Now this day is Australia's national holiday. Initially, it was supposed to name the new settlement, but at the last moment Arthur Phillip decided to name it in honor of Lord Sydney, who was at that time the British Secretary of Colonial Affairs.

The first fleet was soon followed by a second, and then a third. In essence, they were no different from the first, since the main purpose of these expeditions was, as in the first case, the transportation of prisoners from British prisons to the newly formed colony.

My last question is, what are the Australians celebrating? We look at Sydney, and at the same time at Adelaide:

Sydney train station

To make the contrast clear, here are some photographs showing life in Sydney during the bubonic plague of 1900 (this fact in itself suggests that there was a terrible unsanitary condition in the city):

And then bam!

It reminds of Hubert's paintings, when people adapted ancient buildings to their needs, making a stable in the temple, and a laundry in the palace.

And now Adelaide:

And as usual

conclusions

My assumption of a 15 - year war for control of the world, made on the basis of comparing the dates of conflicts throughout the planet, was confirmed in Australia, where everything rests on the estimated date of the final seizure of power by the Romanovs - Holstein: 1788. About those bloody events in which prisoners, prisoners or convicts certainly appear, it is known only from scraps of loud phrases containing the words "discovered", "founded", etc. Whatever city built after 1788, it was built by prisoners who did not know how to build THIS, or the main array of buildings was built in the second half of the 19th - the very beginning of the 20th century in the style of "neoclassicism", at a time when Art Nouveau dominated. The standard of living and everyday life of very many cities in the 19th - early 20th centuries, which were "founded" relatively recently, shows a sharp contrast between the city and its inhabitants, one gets the impression that all this was inherited by the "civilized Europeans", and they do not know what to do about it. As if they gave the monkey an iPhone. The reason that for 180 years the southeast of Australia was not explored is that there were still subjects of Tartary, and held the defense, but they could not master the decisive push of the Romanovs, and were forced to leave their home, or all died. to one during a real world war, not the first, but not the last, when a lot of blood was shed. More and more facts are surfacing on these forgotten pages of history.

All health and a sober mind.
