Yahoo! News - "Boomerang is British" claim



A best-selling author says he has evidence the boomerang was invented by Yorkshire dwellers rather than Australian aborigines, but the claim may not fly.

Historian Terry Deary, writer of the "Horrible Histories" series including "Terrible Tudors", was quoted as saying an ancient rock carving on Ilkley Moor, West Yorkshire, showed a four-armed boomerang.

Archaeologists, however, believe the design shows a swastika, a common motif in Greek and Roman mythology.

"The evidence I stumbled across is quite literally rock solid," Deary told the Yorkshire Post. "I compared photographic images of the stone with today's four-bladed boomerangs - and the similarity was obvious. The boomerang is British."
