I dunno what to tell you, this is what I leaned straight from the First Australians whose families have lived here for 65,000 years, at least according to archaeological evidence. These are educated people, experts in the field. They say there’s no record of warfare in this part of the continent before colonisation.
Try naming a war from European oral history. It’s easy. The Trojan war. King Arthur’s conquests. All that stuff Cú Chulainn was up to. Most of those aren’t even factual! But in the oral histories where I’m from, there are no records of any wars, historical or fictional.
Did they hide their past wars? Did the colonisers suppress the war stories? Did the knowledge holders happen to be wiped out by colonisation while a lot of other knowledge survived? I doubt all of these explanations. I think there was just a well designed communist government for a very, very long time. If there were wars around where I live, they’re older than the last ice age. Because we have stories from the ice age, but no war stories.
Well you spoke about other first nations but what your saying is only austrailian fist nations. Can you name a european oral history that used stone weapons?
that was quite the loss of life with the level of caualties and all. Its like 25% of the human population was killed in that conflict. That was before folks were to worried about genetic diversity though.
