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?

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?

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.
October 25, 20196 yr Ironic but bad weather has closed the climb today ,the last day it was permitted ! Guess the ancestors have the final say !
