If you want more of a genuine Australian history and narrative make it your duty to listen to this. I feel privilege de to have been in this regions mentioned in the book and to live and work on indigenous land. No other book has managed to convey the mystery and intricacy of Indigenous antiquity in quite the same way. Deeply researched, creatively conceived and beautifully written, it charts the expansion of archaeological knowledge in Australia for the first time. There were many brave souls that ventured to the far corners of the country to piece all this together, as well as those kind enough to allow westerners to share it. Billy Griffiths' Deep Time Dreaming is one such book. Deep Time Dreaming Uncovering Ancient Australia By: Billy Griffiths Narrated by: Tom Griffiths Length: 11 hrs and 27 mins 4.7 (17 ratings) Try for 0. I never found anything in this book dry or unapproachable and it did shine a light on many of the epic stories that had to happen to bring this information to us, the “ east coast” readers. Whilst it’s not told from the perspective of indigenous peoples and is intentionally done so, it truly advocates a thorough rethinking of what our country’s history really says, through western methods of archaeology and of anthropological narrative. As someone that lives in an Aboriginal community in central Australia I felt an urge to delve deeper into this, the hidden story of our country.
