Have you ever wondered which is the oldest place on Earth? Welcome Back to Early Morning Memories and we will discuss the Oldest place on Planet Earth.
Dating to around 3.6 billion years ago, the Pilbara region of Western Australia is home to the fossilised evidence of the Earth’s oldest lifeforms.
In recent years, science has confirmed what Aboriginal Australians, the world’s oldest continuous living culture, always knew: the Pilbara region of Western Australia is among the oldest places on Earth.
Its vast landscape of deep pindan reds and endless panoramas, which stretches from the west coast to the Northern Territory border, is an ancient, forbidding place. For those travelling to the region for the first time, the initial sense of space and solitude can be daunting: it’s roughly double the size of Great Britain, but with a population of just 61,000, it is one of the most sparsely populated regions on Earth.
Scientists have determined that the Pilbara’s vast formations of iron-rich rock, formed prior to the existence of oxygen and life itself, is the best-preserved example of the world’s most ancient crust.
