The Henbury meteorite field in Australia wasn’t found until 1899 and wasn’t recognized as impact sites until 1931. At least, by white colonialists. The Aboriginals near the site had a long oral tradition about the area, and warned others about the “fire devil“ who struck there over 4,700 years ago.
Aboriginal oral traditions are notably accurate. They are passed down each generation, in a special way where grandparents correct stories as parents tell them to their children. This means Aboriginal oral tradition is unusually accurate, even recording where islands used to be before sea level rise at the end of the last ice age! Increased attention is now being paid to their tradition by modern scientists and archaeologists, are more and more examples are found of their phenomenal ancient accuracy.
