Australia's 50,000-Year-Old Superhighways

The video explores the first human settlement in Australia, focusing on the discovery of ancient superhighways that early humans used to navigate the continent. These routes, mapped using supercomputers, align with known archaeological sites and Aboriginal trade routes. The research highlights the cultural and spiritual significance of the landscape in Aboriginal societies, linking these superhighways to Dreaming Tracks. Key archaeological findings, such as those at Lake Mungo, provide evidence of early human presence and migration patterns in Australia.
