Kartan stone tools add to evidence of ancient phonetician mining activity in South Australia 3200 y a caused Bronze Age Collapse
kangarooistan
The Bronze age collapse of 1300 BC was almost certainly caused by the
ending of tin and gold mining that ceased at the same time in South
Australia IMHO
Robert Drews describes the collapse as "the worst disaster in ancient
history, even more calamitous than the collapse of the Western Roman
Empire".[4] A number of people have spoken of the cultural memories of
the disaster as stories of a "lost golden age". Hesiod for example
spoke of Ages of Gold, Silver and Bronze, separated from the modern
harsh cruel world of the Age of Iron by the Age of Heroes.
[edit] Nature and causes of destruction
As part of the Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age Dark Ages, it was a
period associated with the collapse of central authorities, a general
depopulation, particularly of highly urban areas, the loss of literacy
in Anatolia and the Aegean, and its restriction elsewhere, the
disappearance of established patterns of long-distance international
trade, increasingly vicious intra-elite struggles for power, and
reduced options for the elite if not for the general mass of
population.
There are various theories put forward to explain the situation of
collapse, many of them compatible with each other.
seems some local war against the Phoenetians in 1300 BC , cut of
trade , including with South Australian vast tin and gold mines
Even though the Egyptian Turin Papyrus gold mine map showed the layout
of the South Australian mine , clearly those who knew where the mines
were must have all been killed and mining ceased once regular buyers
stopped calling 3200 years ago , creating the need for the iron age
once all available Bronze and gold reserved were plundered the ancient
world imploded for centuries
Clearly the Phoenician miners / traders who left old iron tool
andred / purple leather , behind were using local native peoples to
pound the rocks to extract the gold and tin from the vast mining areas
in South Australia around the Lower Lakes and nearby areas

the evidence of vast Phoenician mining activity in South Australia is
so over whelming its really quite amazing to see experts still
demanding more evidence , while happily accepting a tooth evidence of
an entire breed of animal or human presence , or a single reference in
the bible or ancient poem as evidence of entire civilizations

KANGAROO ISLAND - AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL MYSTERY
When Europeans first saw Kangaroo Island it was uninhabited. Mainland
Aborigines called it 'Karta' - Land of the Dead. We now know that
Aborigines had lived on the island until at least 4,000 years ago -
long after the island was isolated from the mainland by rising sea
levels.
Who were the Aborigines of Kangaroo Island?
Who else are called Kartan people or Martu people or Per Amun People
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kartan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peramangk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaurna
Three types of large stone tools found on the island: a hammerstone,
'horsehoof' core, and pebble chopper. After their discovery in the
1930s these large tools became known as 'Kartan implements' - based on
the Ramindjeri word 'Karta' for Kangaroo Island. Collectors H. Cooper,
N.B. Tindale, 1930s, (A2244, A20420, A30163).
The Continuing Mystery
Archaeologists are continuing to uncover new evidence. For example,
examination of pollen spores from ancient bushfires suggests that
Aborigines may have been living on the island until only 2,000 years
ago.
The fate of the Kangaroo Island Aborigines is still a mystery. If
they left the Island, why and how did they leave?
If they remained, what became of them?
