GEOLOGIST or aboriginal creation??
Geologist
Around 550 million years ago the Peterman Ranges which are to the west of Kata Tjuta were much taller than they are currently. Rainwater flowing down the mountain eroded sand and rocks which were then dropped in a fan shape on the surrounding plain. With in the next 50 million years the plains and fans were covered with a sea creating a new sea bed which covered the fans compressing then making them into rock.Over the last 300 million years the softer rocks have eroded away leaving parts of the original fan exposed. To this day Uluru is still being eroded.
Aboriginal
According to Uluru dream time, the earth was a featureless place, until the ancestors of the Agangu emerged and traveled across the land creating features.
