Tonight, on Ancient Mysteries

They are among the most mysterious and least studied peoples in all of archaeology: an ancient race who wandered Australia many centuries ago, leaving behind few traces except for stunningly realistic images of their twin gods painted into cave walls. Perfectly preserved for eons, they pose the question: who were the Wombat Worshipers of Wagga Wagga?

Look at the detail; those guys could really paint.

          Great idea! Maybe Mike could put it in the next calendar. Or sell it as a poster!

        Something like this, perhaps?
