If Ayers Rock had thick, lush vegetation all over it, it would likely look quite the same.

Ayers Rock is revered by the indigenous people of Australia, and no doubt this outcropping was considered a holy place or a place of power by South America's indigenous people.

Fascinating. What stories will be revealed after careful study? What a find!
