Frederic Slater (c1880- 10 March 1947) was an Australian journalist, researcher and "authority on aboriginal folk lore". In the 1930s, Slater was President of the Australian Archaeological and Education Research Society, also known as the Australian Archaeological Society. He married Katherine Elizabeth Slater who survived him and was executor of his will. Slater studied Aboriginal place names and archaeological sites and provided information on Aboriginal languages including, for example, the meaning of Canberra〔 〕 and Queanbeyan.〔(Ian Warden, 'Going with the flow of history' ), ''Canberra Times'' December 28, 2012〕 However, his best known contribution, which has been described as pseudoarchaeology,〔(What is the Kariong Hieroglyphs site? The Secret Visitors Project )〕 is the claim that Australian Aborigianes came from Egypt, based on carvings at Devil's Rock, Wollombi, in the Royal National Park, Brunswick Heads, and other locations. In an address at Sydney, to the Anthropological Society of New South Wales. he claimed the carvings were especially significant ''...totems, symbols and ideographs, which show that the ancestors of original Australians migrated from Egypt in the late paleolithic and the neolithic ages''.〔(Ogden Standard-Examiner » 1937 » May » 9 May 1937, Sun » Page 2 )〕 Slater's observations and theories have been revived in recent years by other pseudoarchaeologists such as Steven Strong.〔(Steven Strong, Australia’s Stonehenge: the History of an Ancient Stone Arrangement, September 16, 2013 )〕〔(Australia’s Stonehenge: Frederic Slater’s Legacy By Steven & Evan Strong )〕 ==Published works== * (Slater, F. 1937, ''Interpretation of the Drawings of Barragurra and Yango'' ), ANZUS, Auckland 1937. * Frederic Slater, ‘Geographical nomenclature: Larmer's native names of points at Port Jackson’, ''Mankind'', Volume 1, Issue 9, pages 213–218, May 1934, (or June 1934) Australian Anthropological Society 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederic Slater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
