GIANT HOMININS OF THE HORTONVALLEY,NSW.by Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

uring May 2009 the Gilroys carried out searches for evidence of fossil hominins in the Central Westdistrict of Coonabarabran and in the Horton Valley outside Barraba.

At the Coonabarabran site, situated on a property where a creek cut through old Pleistocene beds,besides my discovery of numbers of Homo erectus-type crude stone tools, our field assistant on thisoccasion, Peter Rajic, chanced to pick up an endocast of a large skull which, at the time I thought to be thatofan archaic of Homo erectus, but now believe it to be a form of Australopithecine.

Found also was the badly distorted mineralised massive lower jaw of an obvious large hominin, thesmall fragment of a lower hominin jaw containing three teeth and the endocast of a small, juvenile Homo

erectus-type skull minus the lower jaw.These and other finds made at this site convince me that, around 1 million years ago and earlier, a

race of robust Australopithecines occupied this district, alongside his offshoot, archaic Homo erectus. Thediscovery of a giant hominin fossil foot impression on the property also suggested that a race of giant Homoerectus beings of around 3.66 metres height also shared the landscape.

Following these remarkable discoveries we visited the Barraba district north of Tamworth, where sixmineralised skull endocasts of Homo erectus-type were uncovered between two sites along the Horton River.

Yet the most remarkable find, but one that I was unable to remove due to its great weight, was a gianthominin skull endocast of basalt mineralisation, which I found at one spot on the edge of the river, wedged inthe ground amid large gravels.

The specimen was measured and photographed. In its situation, wedged flat in hard, cement-like

gravelly sediments, despite having removed the surrounding larger rocks from it so as to take better photos, Icould not fully expose it. In its flat state I measured it to be 44cm in height from base of lower jaw [which

was mineralised to the palate] to top of cranium by 28cm width across the forehead and 25cm wide across thelower jaw, the left side of which and some of the facial area on that side was missing. What was visible aboveground was 20.5cm in depth.

The owner of the skull would have been a giant form of Homo erectus over 3.66 metres in height andof powerful muscular build.

This discovery and the next one to be described today make me theorise on a possible migratorymovement between the Coonabarabran and Barraba districts. The fact is that the May 2009 giant homininskull endocast from the Horton Valley was at least 1 million years old, suggesting to me at the time of itsdiscovery that this valley once harboured a population of giant Homo erectus beings.

Back then in the mid-Pleistocene period, this vast valley area seemed to be isolated from thesurrounding countryside with lush forests and swamplands teaming with marsupial, bird and reptile life.Megafauna such as Diprotodon optatum, the largest marsupial known, shared this environment with giantkangaroos and other creatures, all of which provided a good food supply for the hominins, both giant andsmaller-sized that shared this valley.

We had but scratched the surface of the fossil hominin history of this valley at the time of our firstinvestigation. More finds awaited us when we returned here during August 2012 while searching other areasof the New England countryside.

*****The latest finds were made at two locations along the Horton River, where old Pleistocene beds had

been eroded away by floodwaters. These beds consisted of up to 3 metre tall banks containing three series ofstratified soil and gravel deposits, the base deposit at one site having recently released the endocast of a large,

brachiocephalic [ie roundish] cranium which I chanced to find lying exposed beside the bank base. A luckyfind indeed, for the next flood would have washed it away.

The cranium, or what remains of it, shows a receding high forehead which begins above the missingeye sockets area. It measures 24.5cm long by 15.6cm wide and 14.5cm deep.

The skull-type is that of an archaic Homo sapien of non-Australoid origin. In some way the relic issimilar to the Solo [Java] skulls, the oldest of which dates back 100,000 years. However, taking the rate ofmineralisation into account and the age of the base strata from which the Horton River Homo skull came, itseems certain that the Horton River Man lived around 300,000 years BP [Before Present]. He now bearsthe provisional title of Homo hortonii gilroy.

An even older fossil came to light in a dry creek bed at a remote northern Horton Valley location, inthe form of a juvenile limestone mineralised skull endocast of apparent Australopithecine features! I found

this little fossil lying exposed from the base of a 3 metre gravel bed. Worn with age and partly incomplete,besides two eye sockets the cranium displays a raised sagittal crest with a slightly distorted left side of thecranium. Could it belong to the robust Australopithecines now identified from Australia by me [ie

Australopithecus australis]?The endocast is composed of mineralised limestone containing tiny crushed particles of crinoids that

lived some 200 million years ago in Silurian times which means the endocast is composed of sand containingthe crinoidal fragments which having originally filled the skull, had mineralised to preserve the fragments.

This little fossil reminds me of a Homo erectus skull from Western Australia that I found to contain theimpression of a leaf beneath the braincase!

The small endocast had obviously originated further upstream and been deposited in the strata fromwhich it had recently been exposed by water action. It would have to date back no later than 1 million years

BP [Before Present] coming from a time when the Australopithecines were giving way to rising Homoerectus.

*****Let us now return to the Horton River, to the second location, lying south of the Homo hortonii skull

endocast find. At this second location I stumbled upon a massive lump of grey basalt. Its strange shapecaught my eye and I could see it had been exposed by a past flood which had swept away overlying deposits,the rock now safely wedged amid large stones and gravels in a hollow beneath the old Pleistocene bed from

which it had been exposed for some time.A casual inspection startled me, when I discovered to my surprised that I was looking at the huge

endocast of a giant hominin skull, lying on its left side with two large eye sockets clearly visible. Measuring thefind involved squatting, even lying down. To show up the eye sockets required outlining them in chalk. The

specimen possessed a sloping forehead extending back to a raised sagittal crest. I was unable to lift the fossilinto an upright position so sketched it as being upright to describe the measurements in my currentpalaeoanthropology exercise book. Thus, in its endocast state, the massive skull measures 50cm long fromfacial area to rear of braincase, by 36cm wide across the face and 35cm long from above the eye sockets torear of braincase with a depth of 40cm.

Here was a monstrous hominin of over the average 3.66 metres height range of giant Homo erectusbeings, suggesting the giant stood between 3.66 and 4 metres in height, being of massive muscular strength. Iestimate, based upon the rate of basalt mineralisation and the immediate strata that it had been released from,that the fossil dated back no less than around 1 million years.

Nearby I afterwards discovered two basalt megatools which may or may not have belonged to thisindividual and had been washed from the same strata as the endocast. These tools consisted of a large

hammer stone and a club.The hammer stone measured 32cm long by 16cm deep at the working end and 9cm wide. It weighed

several kilograms. The club on the other hand measured 62cm long by 28cm deep at the working end andwas 14cm wide, weighing around 20 or so kilograms; tools which only beings of immense stature andstrength would have been able to use.

The search will now be on for further evidence of the Horton River giant hominins, a race of giantHomo erectus beings, which today live on in local Aboriginal traditions, for they are said to have survived

well into Aboriginal times of around 50,000years ago, not only in the New England and Central Westerndistricts, but elsewhere across Australia.

We are reminded of the Wadbilliga skull endocasts of far south coastal New South Wales, andcountless giant hominin feet impressions embedded in solid rock throughout this continent, all of whichproves that giant hominins of the past are a scientific reality.

The latest finds on the Horton River are a clear indication that this area was once a Valley of theGiants.

MYSTERY OF THE SPHINX-PYRAMIDOF NEW ENGLAND.

by Rex Gilroy.Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

uring the 1990s Heather and I uncovered extensive evidence, pointing to Bronze-Age [2000-1400BCE]settlement of the New England district in northern New South Wales by Egyptian, Phoenician, Libyan

and also Celtic mineral and gemstone-seeking colonists.Every major town in New England produced ancient rock inscriptions and these finds extended to

the southern Queensland border country where in 1994 we uncovered extensive evidence of a Celto-Phoenician presence in the Toowoomba, Ipswich and Plainlands districts.

A lengthy account of our discoveries, particularly those of New England with a large number ofphotos is found in our book Pyramids of Destiny Lost Pacific Colonies of the Bronze-Age God-Kings[URU Publications 2009].

Yet how did these ancient cultures, having had prior knowledge of Australias existence since earlyEgyptian dynastic times find their way deep into our continents interior? As we have already pointed out inprevious publications, it was cross-Indian Ocean trading voyages to India by the ancient Middle-Eastmariners, which in turn led to expeditions further south, to Malaya and Java that eventually saw these peoplesarrive on our shores.

Today it may seem incredible that ancient rock inscriptions, remains of stone dwellings, pyramids andother megalithic remains of the lost history, are turning up, often in remote and isolated regions of

Australias interior at places such as within view of Ayers Rock, the Flinders Ranges, Central Queensland, andremote, widely-scattered parts of New South Wales, particularly in the Central West and New Englanddistricts.

Wherever these remains are coming to light, it is found that the area concerned is a mineral andgemstone-bearing area. As our book shows, large settlements, even cities were established where today tracesof ancient gold, copper, tin, silver and gemstone mining are to be found.

Pyramids of Destiny shows how kingdoms independent of Egypt arose here, with locally-appointedPharaohs ruling over thousands of people, their power extending into the West Pacific Islands, particularlyNew Zealand.

To explore the interior for minerals such as copper and tin [needed in the production of bronze]single-humped Arabian camels and horses were imported from South-East Asian lands with which theEgypto-Phoenicians traded as well as oxen which were also introduced here to draw cartloads of ores fromthe open-cut mines to the smelters as some ancient rock art and inscriptions found across Australia are nowrevealing.

Around 1600 BCE the Celts of Spain joined their Phoenician trading partners on mining expeditionsin large fleets of ships to Australia and beyond.

The great colonies established here intermixed creating more than one form of mixed written script,as revealed in many of the well over 1,000 rock inscriptions recovered and preserved by Heather and I.

Translations of these inscriptions and hundreds of others found upon cliffsides and boulders acrossAustralia are revealing much about the daily lives of these peoples.

*****A feature of every ancient settlement or city-size complex is that they occur along the shores of long-

vanished rivers, lakes and formerly navigable creeks that have dried up with a shift in the water table longcenturies in the past.

Water was an essential requirement for the establishment of well-populated mining centres. Indeedancient, long-vanished river systems were the key to exploration of this continents interior. For example, theformer inland sea of the Gulf country would have carried triremes deep into Central Australia, withconnecting river systems enabling ships to penetrate even deeper in the quest for minerals and good farminglands.

By this means pyramidal structures, even a large hill carved in the form of a sphinx, stand weatheredand crumbling in Central Australia, always in the vicinity of gold or other mineral-bearing localities. In fact,my almost 50 years of research into the unwritten history ofAustralia, has from all the available evidence,convinced me that this continent was once criss-crossed by the ancients in their quest for riches to tradebeyond our shores and for new lands to settle.

This brings me to the latest important discovery pointing to the Bronze-Age colonisation of Australia,and the New England district of New South Wales, dating back over 4,000 years.

Phoenician mariners, having found their way down our east coast, and on through Bass Strait,discovered the Adelaide district, as evidenced by the mass of ancient open-cut gold and other miningoperations found thereabouts by Heather and I at which exist rock scripts and megalithic monuments.

Once a coastal base at the mouth of the Murray River was established expeditions sailed up theMurray and also explored the Murrumbidgee River country as well. The explorers would have found long-

since vanished offshoot waterways, including the today still-extant Macquarie, Namoi-Peel and Gwydir Riversystems. Venturing into the Macquarie River brought them to the Dubbo and Bathurst mineral-bearingregions, as evidenced by hundreds of rock inscriptions found in these areas by me.

Penetrating the Namoi-Peel Rivers the explorers would have discovered rich gemstone, gold, silver,copper and tin deposits as far as the Tamworth district and in the Nundle region to the southeast, withoverland expeditions entering the mineral-gemstone rich mountains that overshadow the modern-day town.

From the Tamworth area, expeditions moving northwards up into the Moonbi Range likewise foundgreat wealth awaiting them as countless rock inscriptions in Egypto-Phoenician, Egypto-Libyan and Celto-Phoenician and pure Celtic script reveals, at many localities from Bendemeer northwards to Armidale. At

various bushland-covered locations during the 1990s Heather and I uncovered megalithic temples, stonecircles, rock inscriptions and other remains, suggesting the former presence of many hundred even thousands

of Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean peoples once lived here. The same can be said for the Moree district, avast area of gemstone deposits, whereabouts we uncovered a crumbled granite-built temple to the EgyptianGoddess Isis. Thus it can be seen that it was the aforementioned, then navigable rivers that, over centuries,carried men and women deep into these regions, to establish mining colonies whose populations would growto great numbers.

The full story is far too involved for this article but can be found in our book already mentioned.*****

The latest evidence of Bronze-Age Egypto-Phoenician presence in the New England district of NewSouth Wales was discovered by Heather and I in the course of exploring bushland in a mineral-bearingregion.

In a clearing we came upon a strange basalt rubble mound, sparsely covered in trees. The formation

did not look natural, and the more we studied it from a distance, we realised that it stood on an east-west axiswith humps at each end. We measured it at 100 metres in length by 66 metres width at the west end, and 64metres width at the east end, the centre width being about the same.

The east end of the formation rose in a hump 15 metres in height. We soon found that the westhump was divided into three terraces, the whole rising 33.3 metres in height to form a [three] terracedpyramid 66 metres squared! It was obvious that the lengthy mound had once been shaped by human hands,the pyramid being coated in basalt rubble, the sides of the terracing still showing rubble walls in places wheredeterioration had not yet done its work.

The measurements took into account ages of deterioration in which the rubble had piled up along thebase of the structure in places, rubble movement being aided by tree growth over the centuries. And despitethe structural deterioration, I began to see there was more to this pyramid than we at first had realised.

Beginning at the base of the east hump, and about its centre, there was what at first appeared to be a1.2 metre tall by about the same in width terrace, which continuing on around the north side of the lengthystructure like a tail and faded away into formless rubble before reaching the west end of the hump.

The afternoon sun began casting shadows, and at one point I could detect, by following the westernside slope downwards from a distant viewpoint, that there remained the deteriorated outline of a leg about 4metres in depth. This formation also had deteriorated away just beyond the end of the tail. I then realisedthat the flattish summit of the mound that lay between the humps had formed the body of an animal whosehead was the taller pyramid! A deteriorated, almost unrecognisable back leg could still we seen on the southside of the east hump, this hump now seen as the rear end of the animals body. We finally came to theconclusion that the body was obviously that of a lion with a pyramid for its head.

The date was Tuesday 28th August 2012 and as the Sun, Ra, began to descend toward the western

horizon we now saw that this massive structure was no mere solar-worship symbol lit by the rays of thesetting Sun, but that it held some other, deeper mystical secret meaning.

The structure was of great age and we were reminded of another massive Sphinx that we found at aCentral Australian location during our July-August 2006 field investigation in the Northern Territory. Yet thatmassive, deteriorated and crumbling mass of stone still possessed the remnants of a head. Dating back 4,000

years ago, it probably represented the God Hor-em-khu or Horus, as does the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egyptconstructed during the 4th dynasty.

The New England Sphinx-Pyramid probably built in early Bronze-Age times, perhaps around 3,500BCE is certainly another depiction of Horus, but what is the symbolism of the Pyramid-head?

The sloping three-terraced pyramid measured 66 metres on its north, west and south sides, whereasthe east side was about 33.3 metres in slope due to this side of the pyramid risin g from the head end of thesphinx body.

Time ran out for us on this latest New England investigation and another search hereabouts will benecessary for the purpose of finding rock inscriptions, even stone ruins of the ancient colonists dwellings

who constructed this massive image.After a last investigation of this enigmatic ruin on Wednesday 29th August we had to leave for home.

It was late in the afternoon as we departed the site, the light of the setting Sun-God Ra highlighting the faceof Hor-em-khu as his pyramid face looked west, as he has done so since the days of the AustralianPharaohs, and will continue to do so if undisturbed by treasure-hunting vandals and others. Our secrecyregarding the location of this important structure we believe, will guarantee this.

SYDNEYSANCIENT URUAN PAST.by Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2012.

ince the 1788 establishment of the settlement in Sydney Cove by Captain Arthur Phillip, the City ofSydney has grown from that initial convict settlement to devour vast tracts of bushland to the north,

south and west. This land development has seen bulldozer tear down not only bushland, but unknowingly theremains of an advanced Stone-Age civilisation, being that of the people who called themselves the Uru.

Untold thousands of years ago this ancient Aryan people, descendants of the first modern humanswho evolved from Australian populations of Homo erectus by around 400,000-300,000 years BP [BeforePresent], having gradually developed their megalithic culture in the course of their spread Australia-wide andbegun developing the first written language on earth, created great culture centres that are still coming tolight. To cover them all is not possible in this article, although some significant sites which come to mind

include the Moonbi Range, New England megalithic sites; a recently discovered extensive complex west ofBathurst; the Kanangra Boyd National Parklost city; the sprawling Blue Mountains culture centre, and lastlythe lost culture centre of Sydney with which this article is concerned.

Thanks to the Blue Mountains being one great National Park and being World Heritage listed, theremains of old Uru that lie beyond the settled areas will remain safe from land development. There are

countless temples, astronomical sites, ancient settlement areas etc. hidden by forestland and lost megalithictemples hidden deep within forested gullies evoking images from some Indiana Jones film. Thanks to theefforts of the Gilroys and Greg Foster many of these hidden treasures of our past have been found and more

will follow.The pyramid-temples of old Uru, modified from hills in the Sydney area, now mostly built over, still

survive on the Blue Mountains and in the depths of the vast Kanangra-Burragorang wilds. These examplesare constructed from sandstone/ironstone mounts and have begun revealing information from rockinscriptions found at these sites. Yet apart from these more fortunate remains, does anything of value stillsurvive anywhere in the Sydney region?

Remarkably the answer is YES. Certain hills now turned to parks were once modified structures nowworn down by time, but were gathering places for ceremonial purposes, or former astronomical observatorysites of the Uru. And along the courses of various creeks and forest-filled rocky gullies, the Gilroys, GregFoster and our latest field assistant, Nigel Kerr, are uncovering a surprising number of structural remains androck scripts, thousands of years old.

One recent big discovery, made by Nigel in a western Sydney gully, has been a major Uruanceremonial centre where much still awaits to be done, in the search for rock inscriptions and any structuresthat have so far gone unnoticed.

At present following detailed translations of the available inscriptions, it is certain the site was animportant Nim Sun-worship temple. The available remains are in a forested gully and above this, wherehouses now stand, there were obviously further structures which are now lost to us.

On a mid-August day Heather drove Nigel and I to his big find. Nigel led me down over rocks ontowhat I felt was an ancient pathway linking a series of rock inscriptions and structural features that extendeddown the gully slope. The inscriptions Nigel subsequently showed me were somewhat different from otheruncovered elsewhere around the Sydney area. One Uruan ogham message on a rock face was later translatedto read: Here make sacred music and singing. All listen.

Nigel then showed me an amazing relic in the form of a massive phallic image, lying on a north tosouth axis, and obviously once by one means or another cut from a lengthy sandstone/ironstone formation.

Time did not permit a search for any glyphs on it but this will be attended to on our next investigation at thissite. The massive stone measured 15.7 metres long by 2.7 metres wide and deep.

Now cracked with age in a couple of places and partly buried in the rubble and soil, it was the singularmost important find for Nigel who had only recently discovered this site.However, he had also already discovered a nearby ogham rock inscription. This I drew and photographed andback home after much effort, I was able to translate the following remarkable message:

Tada, guardian of the hidden secrets of theTemple of the Sun, Nim, who observes the spiral of allseasonal life from above, here on ceremonial occasions givesthanks at Nims altar.At the Temple of Nim the Serpent-Sun he gives thanks for all seasonal growth.

For the Temple our ruler, Modana declares that the great stone,the phallus of the God of light, be erected on the high ground before

all at his temple, to be observed by all assembled here.Give voice in praise and sing the song of our God above,

as you move the stone into place.

The sun on high, the sun on high,to the Son of our father Ay-I we dance as Nim crosses the sky.

Considerable effort by numbers of workmen would have been required to remove this lengthymonolith and haul it up the slope for upright erection above the gully before the entrance of the temple.

Another rock inscription found by Nigel obviously refers to the great phallic image:For our God we sing as we raise him aloft. Here at the sacred place

of gathering here we observe His erect image

Another inscription nearby read:Sharga declares all perform sacred music and dancing here in praise of the God.

Below these inscriptions we explored along a creek that would have once provided water for theinhabitants of the ancient settlement that had to have existed somewhere in the vicinity. Along the creek edgeI found remains of stone structures suggesting more of this kind of evidence of Uruan occupation yet awaitsus hereabouts.

*****Many important discoveries have also been made by Greg Foster and I over recent years in the busy

creeks and gullies of the Sydney suburbs. It is amazing what still lies hidden in these out-of-the-way places

within noisy suburbia!The Uru were aware of their cultural superiority over other people who shared their domain, which

grew to include New Zealand, the Melanesian islands and those of the Central Pacific thousands of yearsbefore the coming of the Polynesians.

It will be shown in a future Uru book that this people not only spread out to encompass the OldWorld, but also introduced culture to the pre-culture Amerindians of the Americas. To the Uru the planetEarth was regarded as Uru, which was also their name for Australia itself.

During 2002 Greg made some remarkable finds. One of these was a Nim Sun-worship temple sitethat incorporated a sacred pool, which was fed by a creek in a forested gully in Sydneys west. A feature of thepool was the face of Nim, cut into a large sandstone rock on the waters edge. Also, overlooking the gullytemple site was an engraved stone head of the god with glyphs statingTemple of Nim.

In 2004 Greg uncovered another remarkable Nim temple site at a northwest Sydney location in theHawkesbury River country. We spent considerable time recording and photographing the numerous rockinscriptions and stoneworks, which were still in a remarkably good condition. One feature amid the remainsof an ancient stone wall and other structures was a reptilian head image on a rock formation depicting Nim inserpent form. Images of Ay-I the supreme Being stand on both sides of the gully in which these finds arelocated, meaning that the Supreme Being of old Uru guarded the occupants who settled the gully andsurrounding area.

Lately Greg and I have been uncovering remarkable finds in the northern Sydney suburbs such as agreat Stone-Age university or school where the sciences or mysteries were taught. Hereabouts are to befound temple sites dedicated to Nims sister, Ara the Moon-Goddess and many other remarkable remainssuggesting that here was one of the most important Uruan culture centres in the Sydney and surrounding

districts.As this article is being written more Uru field investigations are about to get under way, to reveal

more secrets of lost Uru, hidden in nooks and crannies of gullies, surrounded by the far less fascinatingstructures of our modern civilisation, which lacks the mystery and romanticism of a bygone civilisation which7,000, 10,000, 15,000 and more years ago, was spread throughout the entire Sydney basin.
