Aboriginal people arrived to Australia from Asia 45.000 or 50.000 years ago. Instead, Europeans arrived to Australia in 1788. When Europeans arrived, they first wanted to settle in “Botany Bay” but finally they settled at Sydney when the conditions for an stable settlement were better.

A didgeridoo is a wooden made wind instrument developed and used by Aboriginal Australians.

The aboriginal art includes rock painting and engraving (usually humans and animals), dot painting (made up of small dots representing animals, lakes and the Dreamtime), bark painting, carvings and sculptures, stone arrangements, etc…

The Iberians were the people who lived in the Iberian Peninsula before the Romans. Its art consisted mainly in on sculpture (in stone and bronze) and pottery
