I was asking a specific poster as to why I should respect the rock being sacred as he claims.

I have a pretty good idea why Aborigines think it is.

I think the rock belongs to the world, not just a few people.

 

BTW, it's not a living person, so it's not disrespectful to walk on it. Birds probably <deleted> on it all the time.

So it is ok to climb this in Thailand since it is just made from rocks?

Been there twice, but just walked the 9km path around it both times. Plenty of other things to climb in Aus. Aboriginals got a raw deal, so maybe show some respect for ancient beliefs. 

My Irish ancestors got a raw deal from the English. Am I due some respect based on that?

It would help if you used the correct information. The Stupas and wall are made from bricks and the Buddha is coated with cement plaster.

Yes, people climb on them all the time. That's why the stupas have stairs.

Ironic but bad weather has closed the climb today ,the last day it was permitted ! Guess the ancestors have the final say !
