Australia has some of the world's richest and most diverse rock art. While rock art is found all around the globe, Murujuga rock art in Australia is relatively unique because there are still cultural connections between rock art and the people who' created it. Murujuga rock art in Australia meets three standards for outstanding, universal value: the creative talent and skill of the artwork; the extraordinarily old and continuous engraving (雕刻)tradition; and the combined cultural landscapes of the area, including quarries, living sites, and shell middens. These show significant changes in human history, including major ones in sea level and surrounding environment.
When people first started using this landscape 50,000 years ago, it was located around 100 km from the coast. It was wetter and warmer than it is now
— and the archaeological (考古的) record of the coastal plain at this time shows an entire group of animals no longer found in
this part of Australia now. Murujuga's artists engraved some of these animals, such as crocodiles. Then, during the last ice age (between 30,000 and 18,000 years ago), the coastline was even further away (160 km). People were living in the Murujuga Ranges at this time. There are a number of engravings of animals that are now extinct, such as a fat-tailed species of kangaroo, which prove the changing environment.
Around 8,000 years ago, people began to construct houses. Art production at this time was also in full swing. The most recent rock art includes turtles, fish as well as the small rock wallabies, a small kangaroo, which now live on the islands.
As well as houses there are many stone arrangements, standing stones and terraces. This is a monumental hunter-gatherer-fisherperson landscape, which is equal to the period in Europe when people were constructing stone monuments such as Stonehenge (巨石阵) (except in
Europe this occurred thousands of years later). The artworks in Murujuga were made on the rocks using stone tools. Together they show how people have been living in the region for thousands of years. 28．What is unique about the Murujuga artwork? A．It meets our latest standards for beauty. B．It is the oldest engraving tradition. C．It was created by a rock art expert.
D．It combines culture with human creativity perfectly.
29．What can we learn about animals living 50,000 years ago? A．They lived together in harmony with people then. B．Large quantities of them were killed by people. C．Many of them were recorded on the rock. D．They changed the course of art rock history.
