    As an Aboriginal Australian I'd just like to say thank you for the respect you payed to us and our Dreaming in your intro. It is surprising how many people in this day and age just skip over the importance of this aspect.
    Love your work man keep it up and I'd be interested to see your take on our Creation stories too. Laterz

      Thank you so much! I really am happy that you appreciated how I dealt with that topic. It seems a lot of people view dreamtime stories with negative connotations. I may look into delving into those beings as well but I think it would take more than two parts. There are quite a few of them...but they at quite interesting. As a native have you ever heard of the carkit? I read something about it being a form of grim reaper but i'm not sure the information was legit.

    • @Ibdabadman
      @Ibdabadman 7 лет назад +5

      Originally before English colonization there were 300+ tribes over an area larger than Europe. Each one with their own Dreaming - there own stories of creation and their connection to their land. So I can't say that I am personally familiar with the Carkit story but I shall ask around and look into it for you if you could site the Area that it's stories originated. Whist some stories are shared. A lot are specific to a people, an area and hence it's own dreaming.
      My two suggestions for you with regard to dealing with Indigenous Australian dreaming is to please not refer to the "Dreamtime' as a Myth or legend. It is something very really to us.It ties us in with our country(specifically our tribes area), our language, our culture and our family systems. In a culture that lasted 60k years at least without a written language, words are very important. Finally - a lot or people try to touch upon Indigenous subjects from a colonial paradigm which of coarse can not understand something that needs to be understood as much with the heart as with ones head. Laterz mate and good luck.

      G'day , just read through your comments and am interested to know about the descriptive nature of Aboriginal language from your perspective?
      I've heard that the English language has been altered to the detriment of understanding the concise nature of what is being communicated.
      From my understanding both Hebrew and Native American language can offer in depth less disputable word based cultural historical teachings due to the unadulterated langue that apparently remains pure and superior in descriptive content to the English language .
      I believe what is handed down from one generation to another within the same blood line is far superior to any doctrine that may be susceptible to external modification. I know the best information I've received in my time has all been via word of mouth.

    The "Drop Bear" is based on the Thylacoleo carnifex or "marsupial lion" that would climb trees & drop down onto prey. Some people believe that it isn't as extinct as we've been told, there have even been sightings of a creature that closely resembles the "marsupial lion".

    The "drop bear" does sound strangely like the Thylacoleonidae ,the marsupial lion. It was probably an ambush predator ;some think it layed in trees like a puma. It also appears to have been depicted in Aboriginal rock art.

    Drop Bears was a story told by Australians as a practical joke to US Servicemen that were stationed in Australia during the Second World War. This was to get them to do silly things like put vegemite behind their ears and silly things on their heads or helmets. Two of my aunts married US Servicemen and moved to the US.

    there are articles on the internet mama says, that explain that ghost children push your car off the tracks because in the 30-40's they were killed NY a train on the tracks, and that it says it happened around San Antonio, but also there are other articles that say its a legend. I also spoke to her about Saratoga, and she says there's a light that goes up and down Bragg Rd. I'm curious to know about that also. I'm tellin' you, tho, I've heard the children and bus thing was in the same area also. I've been privileged enough to have been able to communicate with and see signs of spirits also, as have several of my family. there was a hospital, now torn down that I was working on that had a spirit who would manifest itself to me and others several times in the form of an oblong light about 2-3 feet off the floor. I would talk to and acknowledge it, and it would come greet me and whoever was with me quite often after awhile. thank you for listening, and I hope Mr. Miller pursues some of this. thanks Michaiilala

  • @TheMichaelStott
    @TheMichaelStott 6 лет назад +1

    Drop bears can be easily explained. Koalas habit of sleeping for most of their time unfortunately they can fall off their perch and there have been rare occasions where an unlucky hiker has been in the wrong spot at the wrong time when one has dropped on them. Imagine falling while you're asleep and landing abruptly on something or someone waking you up. Koalas have large claws and can be aggressive so a frightened koala can do some damage. Their average weight is around 15 kg (approximately 30 pounds) having a heavy furry creature land on you abruptly from a great height would not be a happy experience. People often exaggerate things when they are in a heightened state of emotion especially fear. combine that with a poor old koala falling on them the story becomes a huge, aggressive, deadly monster trying to eat them. Attacks like this are very rare because it is an unfortunate coincidence. The point of Non Australians being attacked, think tourists do a lot more hiking and adventuring so the risk of a koala drop becomes higher. Attacks like this have resulted in minor to large scratches and bites but none have been fatal. The Australian Sense of humour along with a rare coincidental accident gave birth to the Drop bear :) Australian Tourism even made a joke with the title "Look up and Live" and stuck a photoshopped koala attacking a person. this is actually a real hiking tip when walking in forests as branches do snap off tress so looking up every once an awhile is a good safety tip along with actually seeing our Fuzzy animal.

    Being an Australian, much of what you are talking about seems a little unlikely. I think a lot has been lost in translation. Much of the mega fauna was present in Australia when the first Aboriginal people arrived 60,000 years ago. Some of these creature were giant reptiles, flightless birds and 9' tall kangaroos. Much of the mythology of the indigenous people comes down through time from those ancient encounters. Are any of those things present now? Doubtful. But for fun with respect to Drp Bears, look Thylacolea Carnifex. It is one of those creatures which resembles the many reported sighting of a large black cat like creature in various parts of Australia, but mainly in tropical north east. It has these monstrous claws for climbing trees, which some have suggested allows them to wait for an unsuspecting prey animal to come past before they drop down on them.

I sometimes bring up the topic of Yowies (Aussie Sasquatch) but people just look at me dumbly and say nothing. They are clueless about their existence. You would have been better to spend time on the Yowies, than the ridiculous drop bear.

    DInosaurs with feathers is not a theory my good Cryptoozoologist, and no that paper with the T.rex skin if you actually read it did not say T.rex was actually scaly but instead certain areas had scales as other areas had feathers and skin, SO you will have to live with it.
    Also mind you Tyrannosaurs are native to Asia and North America and did live in Australia and If it does exist it would more likely be an Australovenator

    About your whole T. rex. not having feathers thing. That's simply not true that is just showing that the t Rex didn't have feathers in Certain parts of it's body. It was just over sensationalized by the media. In reality it only confirmed what was already theorized about the placement of T. rex feathers.

    • @BenmillerIceWolfVideos
      @BenmillerIceWolfVideos  7 лет назад +1

      The problem with it being true or false is sort of moot since neither side of the coin has proof; just theories as far as I know. I see a lot of people firmly say they did while others say they didn't and each side can't be proven. One of the places that I saw claiming T-Rex wasn't feathered was the Smithsonian Institute.
