    MUNGO MAN...SHOULD WE GIVING THIS MORE PRIORITY?

    The oldest known culture on earth.....though I heard a 60,000yo skull may have been unearthed recently in Turkey......represented by Mungo Man has apparently been given little priority by our government.

    A relatively expensive monument to Captain Cook is being built.

    An expensive extension to the National War Museum has been granted.

    Yet Mungo Man remains forgotten. Historically, this should be given more , much more national and international credence. People from all over the world should be able to see at least a monument to the same scale or more than Capt Cook.
    Mungo Man is home, but where should he rest? Calls for a memorial for the oldest Australian ever discovered - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Hi
    There is already quite extensive information and displays in the visitors' centre at Mungo National Park.
    The skeletal remains were handed back to local indigenous people who would probably be decedents .
    I feel it is their decision.
    Cheers

    Yes - definitely. Why wouldn’t we - not only is it archeologically and culturally significant for the human race but Mungo Man is one of the most significant finds in Australian History.

    Very definitely the respecting and learning about the first inhabitants and from their descendants bring both cultural and practical benefits to all people.

    What possible benefits (tangible or otherwise) can yet another memorial to Cook bring?

    What do the traditional owners of the land where he was found think?
