59-20 (V) The Tragedy of Atlantis (Continued) - The Epilogue

(Gated) Mother was the last ruler of Atlantis. Her perspective at that time, & more, is covered here. What is the difference between Aboriginals and Aborigines? This is in part because 'Aborigine' is a noun, while 'Aboriginal' is an adjective sometimes employed as a noun. The distinction is important as the term 'Aboriginal' recognizes that there are hundreds of diverse Aboriginal groups and languages throughout the nation, not just one mob. The word aborigine traces back to the Latin ab origine, meaning "from the beginning," and as you might guess, this noun refers to something that has been there from the start. Aborigine is most often used to refer to a native group that has a longstanding historic or cultural tie to an area or country, unlike other groups that may have entered later to colonize the region. If the word is capitalized, it refers to someone belonging to the group of people that first inhabited Australia.
