    UPDATE ON THE URU.

    Rex Gilroy.Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

    The ruins of this mighty Australian lost Stone-Age civilisation continue to give up their secrets.When I first discovered the type specimen of this civilisation back in 1965 - an altar carved in

    sandstone in the form of a serpent atop a 15m tall mound - at a dense scrub covered Blue Mountains site,quickly followed by the finding of other crumbling structures nearby, I was mystified as to the origin of thesemegalithic ruins.

    The serpent altar, standing on a north-south axis, measured 1.7m long by 70cm wide and 1.2m high.Carved in a curved aspect, it bore a mouth groove at its north end facing east.At the time its import escaped me but today the serpent image is known to depict Nim, the Sun-God

    of His worshippers. Yet who were His worshippers? In between the discoveries of many other mysteriousmegalithic sites across the Blue Mountains and elsewhere, I began finding examples of the written rock scriptof this people. However, it took until 1974 for me to make a breakthrough in its translation. The script,consisting of pictographic symbols, also included ogham and a number of other letter symbols familiar to theOld World scripts of Sumer, other Near and Middle-East and European lands, and which also appeared inancient rock scripts of the South-East Asian and West Pacific regions.

    I soon realised that the Australian written language was the mother script from which all others had,over a vast period of time, evolved.

    In the course of my years of translation efforts I had repeatedly come across a word Uru and cameto realise that this was the name of this people. Readers wishing to know more can read URU The LostCivilisation of Australia [2005] by Rex and Heather Gilroy.

    As our book reveals in greater detail, the Uru gradually migrated beyond Australia into Asia, the Nearand Middle-East and Europe introducing their megalithic culture in the course of their movements. Just howlong ago this event occurred is debateable, but it took place before the rise of the Old World civilisations.

    The earliest Uruan script evolved alongside the crude megalithic architecture of this people. If it is indeed theearliest written language it must pre-date the earliest Mediterranean script of 3500 BCE and if so, then wemust accept that people knew how to read and write before the onset of the Copper Age [ie long before theadvent of the Bronze-Age, 2000-1400 BCE].

    The age of the Australian mother civilisation can be roughly deduced from a comparison of datings

    of the major Old World megalithic culture sites. For example, the age of Englands Stonehenge and FrancesCarnac sites date around 3000 BCE. The stone arrangements and megalithic tombs and temples of Malta andparts of Eastern Europe are dated to 4500 BCE, while the datings for those of Central Asia, India andsouthern China, Japan and island South-East Asia vary between 5000 and 8000 BCE. Some monuments inPapua New Guinea are at least 10,000 years old, whereas geological evidence alone suggests many of the

    earliest and more primitive Australian structures date back far earlier than 50,000 years BP [Before Present],the earliest perhaps about 100,000 years BP. These datings surely demonstrate that the earliest stonearrangements of mankind were erected in Australia.

    As our book reveals, the Australian megalithic arrangmenets, which included lengthy alignments ofstanding stones and circles, were erected for astronomical/agricultural purposes. Yet who were the Uru?Fossil evidence recovered by the author, consisting of skulls, shows them to have been populations of theearliest anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens, who developed from Australian Homo erectus by

    around 400,000-300,000 years BP. Thus, the earliest modern humans, Homo sapiens, evolved in Australiabefore the earleist African examples [ie around 150,000 years BP]. The Uru also preceded the arrival of theearliest Aboriginal people from South-East Asia [around 50,000 years BP].

    *****The Uru were never metallurgists in Australia, this development came about among their migrating

    populations beyond our shores later in their history. In Australia they remained a stone, bone and woodculture, but one which, as their megalithic monuments indicate, was raised to a high standard.

    According to the accounts of our Aboriginal people, the Uru were a pale-skinned [ie white] race ofculture-heroes who gave them elements of their culture. Indeed, throughout the Old World wherever themegaliths stand, the name Uru was synonymous with a white-skinned race. These traditions are found fromold Mesopotamia down through South-East Asia. Such traditions continue on into the Pacific, where later

    migrations of the Uru spread to New Zealand and the West Pacific Islands [including Easter Island where thename Uru is commonplace] to the Americas, where the name is synonymous with a mighty white race ofastronomer-priests and builders. These traditions are found also widely from Mexico to Peru in the legendaryaccounts of the Mayans, Aztecs, Chimu, Incans and other cultures of pre-Columbian times.

    It seems obvious then, how the later civilisations of the Old and New Worlds possessed traditions ofa lost paradise of mankind that lay in the southernmost region of the world where Australia is situated, agreat red rock standing at its centre marking the centre of the world!

    That Ayres Rock [aka Uluru] was somehow known to the ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, Celts,Tibetans, Chinese and others of the Old World, as well as remote Pacific Islanders and the great Amerindiancultures of Mexico to Peru show that the race-memories of this land, given them by the Uru, led the Bronze-

    Age civilisations of the Old World and the later Amerindian peoples to undertake cross-ocean voyages which

    resulted in their discovery of their Land of Origin.As our readers are aware of all the accounts of Old World pyramids, rock inscriptions, ancient open-

    cut mining operations and other remains found in Australia [see Pyramids in the Pacific The UnwrittenHistory of Australia [2000] and Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings [2009] reported by the Gilroys] there is no need to go into detail here.

    *****The main purpose of this update on the Uru is to report recent discoveries of an exciting nature that

    will now become part of a book now in preparation concerning Uruan influence upon the pre-culturedAmerindians and their later cross-Pacific voyages to their motherland of origin!

    From the early days of my research into what were to become known as Uruan culture sites on theBlue Mountains, I pondered a vague Amerindian appearance in the style of the altars and other carved

    images. Back then I did not realise that I was looking at their earliest artistic style.In our March 2012 Mysterious Australia newsletter my article The Uru and Amerindia I reported

    the Wednesday 22nd April 2009 discovery of a weathered stone head of a temple priest nearby the remains ofan ancient Uruan Nim Sun-worship temple, on a Coonabarabran Central Western NSW property. Theinteresting feature of this image was that it showed a long-eared individual. This relic revealed the practice ofear-lengthening, so well known to the former Easter Islanders and was practiced by the Uruan priestly caste[and monarchy] untold thousands of years before its spread across the Pacific. I have little doubt that it wasthe Uru who introduced the practice to pre-Polynesian New Zealand, other Pacific islands including EasterIsland, the Hawaiians and the shores of Mexico and Peru in pre-Amerindian culture times, the practice beingcarried on as these peoples developed their own [Uru-inspired] cultures.

    Since the Coonabarabran find, others have come to light strengthening my theory; such as the

    Wednesday 22nd

    February 2012 discovery of the long-eared] Sun-priest Gamo stone head found inKatoomba bushland; the Thursday 15th March 2012 find of the large long-eared stone head carving of theSun-priest Gi, the 15cm tall by 52cm wide head carving of the Sun-priest Yala, discovered by the author in arock shelter and the Mt Victoria clifftop Nim temple find of the 43cm tall by 25cm wide head carving of theSun-priest Moko.

    The latest significant discovery is the weathered inscribed head of King Cos, priest-King of the Sun-God discovered as part of a lengthy granite stone alignment at a major solar temple, situated within the lostcity of Kanangra where Heather and I have worked for years together with our field assistant Greg Foster,measuring, recording and photographing ruins of temples, pyramids and other structures, including aninscription several years ago giving the name City of I-ula. A big find for me after an 18 year search for aninscription bearing the citys name.

    The massive head of King Cos has missing parts on its left side but still shows two eyes, a long nose

    and mouth. There is a 1.1m tall by 40cm wide long-ear on the right side of the head. There is a head-dressbearing the inscription King Cos of the Sunand the image stands 2m tall by 2.2m wide at the base and 2.3mdeep. A nearby boulder forming part of the alignment contains the inscriptions Cos of the Sun, the builder of I-ula. At this temple of the light at Nims rising cry out in wonder.

    Interesting is the fact that Uruan monarchs, all priest-kings and queens, claimed descent from theSun-God Nim. The claim of descent from the Sun-God echoes from e old Pharonic Egypt to Mesopotamiato Asia and the former kingdoms of the Americas a ghostly influence of old Uru?

    There have been other significant Uruan finds not involving images of long-eared priests, such as therediscovery of an eagle altar [I-na, the Eagle of the Sun who carried Nim across the heavens each day] lost formany years. Standing upon a weathered three-terraced pyramidal sandstone mound at a Blue Mountains site,it measures 4m tall by the same in width, the eagle I-na cut in relief measures 1.35m long by 95cm wide.

    On Sunday 11th

    March 2012 I found a 1.32m tall by 1.7m wide, 84cm deep sandstone rock in thesame area which bears the crude face of Nim with a forehead inscription, and another atop the head. Theforehead message reads: Behold I-na who watches Nim. Behold Nim and Ara [ie the Uruan Moon goddessand Nims sister] who Ay-Is Eye [ie Supreme Being of Uru] and benevolent rays enfolds in love. All dance atthe quarter Moon. Women dance in praise of the Goddess and pour libations from the Moon Cup. Theinscription continues onto the forehead Nim God of Uru and Ara Goddess we praise you both. All dance

    with joy. At Nims command we praise the arrival of Eee, Goddess of Spring, and at her altar here at herhidden temple we give offerings of praise to her, watched by Nim on high, led by Sui-ko of the Sun.

    As this article is being prepared other significant Uruan remains have begun turning up in a secludedBlue Mountains gully. I am fortunate indeed to be the discoverer of a lost civilisation for it places mealongside Heinrich Schliemann, discoverer of the lost city of Troy [1873], Sir Arthur Evans who unearthed

    the lost Cretan civilisation [1901] and a handful of others, all of whom like myself were told by universitydesk-professors that they were wasting their time and money searching for a myth.

    Thanks to such far-sighted field-working researchers mythical civilisations now stand revealed andthe work of the Gilroys has likewise revealed the Australian lost mother civilisation of Uru. What an excitinglife we lead!

    THE BLACKTOWN,NSWURU SITE.Rex Gilroy.

    Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

    While on a visit to see our leading field assistant, Greg Foster at his Blacktown home on Tuesday 27th March,2012 he took me to a bushy location in the Blacktown area to show me a large sandstone head he hadrecently uncovered. When I saw the relic there was no mistaking the inscription on the head: Nim the Sun.Here was Nim in smiling aspect, a commonplace feature of images of the God at sites beyond Sydney such as

    on the Blue Mountains, indeed elsewhere across Australia.The head measures 72cm tall by 53cm wide across the head and is 20cm deep. Gregs find shows

    there was an Uru presence in the Blacktown district going back as recently as 10,000 years ago and earlier. Wewonder just how many more remains of Australias lost civilisation lie hidden in out-of-the-way places notyet destroyed by land development. Here is a subject for a future Mysterious Australia article!

    NEW CHIMU SITE ON THE HAWKESBURYRIVER.Rex Gilroy.

    Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

    On Wednesday 12th January 2011 while exploring a rainforest at Narooma, on the NSW far south coast, Iunearthed an ancient clay pottery head in two large fragments [see Mysterious Australia newsletter August

    2011 issue]. Subsequent research soon afterwards identified the relic as a pottery head of the Chimu Moon-God SinAn. Our Narooma friends and assistants Alan and Antji Westrip were thrilled at our find and Antjicontinued her interest in our Chimu discoveries until cancer claimed this remarkable woman last September.

    This find set off a search for more evidence supporting the presence hereabouts, of Chimu colonistswho had crossed the Pacific Ocean following drift currents on large balsa wood sailed rafts to reachAustralias east coast in pre-Spanish conquest times.

    The Chimu culture arose on Perus north-west coast around 1000AD building a capital city at ChanChan where it is estimated that anything up to 1,000 people lived prior to the civilisations spread into the

    Andes under the ruler Nancen Pinco after 1370 only to be conquered by the Incas around 1470.The Incas were the last and largest pre-Columbian civilisation in South America. It created a vast

    Andean empire between 1438-1532, which was subsequently destroyed by the Conquistadores of Francisco

    Pizarro in the 1530s.Further searching in the Narooma region proved fruitful with the discovery of remains of an ancient

    settlement situated along the edge of a rainforest creek, followed by the remains of two earthen and stonestepped pyramids further inland in gum forest country where the earth-moving equipment of loggers some 30years ago had unknowingly destroyed much of the structures.

    The Narooma colony would pre-date the Inca conquest back in Peru. Our attention has lately turnedto locating ancient farming sites where the Chimu would have grown maize and/or corn brought with them,traces of such farming having been uncovered on some pacific Islands.

    On our second visit to the rainforest creekside settlement remains on Tuesday 22nd February 2011 werecovered a number of portrait stones and other carvings. One portrait stone was a slab 34.5cm tall by19.5cm wide and 1.6cm deep displaying the image of a squatting human figure, a male with an ear plug and

    clutching a staff. Glyphs beneath this left profile figure identified him as Cahepu the High Priest.*****

    While our work continues in the Narooma district a second Chimu colony discovery seems about tobe revealed, with finds of Chimu-style weathered stone images having just turned up at a site overlooking theHawkesbury River.

    This latest discovery was made on Tuesday 3rd April when Heather , our leading field assistant GregFoster and myself visited a high plateau overlooking the Hawkesbury River intending to search for Uru rockinscriptions and other traces of this people. It was while searching along a 3 metre tall sandstone cliff that Icame across a wind-blown rock shelter. Greg joined me and we suddenly found ancient weathered sandstoneimages. I picked up the image of a squatting man with a cap measuring 23cm tall by 12cm wide and 11.5cmdeep. I then came across a typical Chimu style head with a solid pipe-like projection atop the head. It

    resembles more elaborate images depicting chieftains. This relic was measured at 18.5cm tall by 10.5cm wideacross the centre and 5.5cm deep.

    Greg found a 27.5cm tall stylised bird image which was 9cm wide and 8cm deep.*****

    Heather and I made a return visit to this site on Saturday 14th April 2012 so I could make a search forpossible nearby settlement remains. Dense, dry scrub however defeated me. I did notice a stone passagewayextending through the scrub up the rise to the rock shelter, obviously used by worshippers attending the cultsite at this rock shelter. It was in rubble atop the passageway that I recovered a 17.5cm tall parrot image,being 19.3cm wide and 6cm deep.

    My next find, half-buried in dirt, was the image of a male head with a cap and signs of a beard. Thisweathered relic measured 25cm tall by 13.3cm wide across a wide base, and 7.5cm deep.

    By now excited I searched about for more. It was not long before I recovered a large ironstone head,some of the right face was missing with other missing sections in the chin and left face area. The open-mouthed image also once had a head-dress of some kind with a groove down the centre, ending above theeyes. Measuring 28.5cm tall by 10.5cm wide across the top of the head, it was 7.5cm in depth.

    One more find awaited me, a 29.5cm tall ironstone slab image o a squatting naked Earth-Mother, herright hand holding her left breast. The figure was 10.5cm wide at the centre and 8cm wide across the head by7cm deep.

    While I intend to continue the search hereabouts I am certain that these colonists would haveexplored upriver into the Nepean River and found the good farmland of the Penrith region down to Mulgoaand beyond. If so then the future discovery of Chimu relics in that area would not surprise me.
