A place in Australia has been burning for six thousand years!

The Dhaka Times Desk A long six thousand years of fire has been found in a place of the world! This is a place in Australia.

A fire has been burning for six thousand years in one place in Australia. It seems very surprising to hear. But the story is true. Another place that has been burning for a long time is Pennsylvania in the United States. There is an underground coal mine in the abandoned town of Centralia. A video game called 'Silent Hill' has also been made based on it. Later a film was also produced.

The gas fire of that coal mine in Central USA has been burning for the past 53 years. Which seems quite relative. A similar fire has been burning in Australia for six thousand years! This fire is burning before Europeans discovered the continent!

This place is located in the interior of the Burning Mountain (also called the Burning Mountain) in Mount Wingen, New South Wales, Australia. However, it remains unknown how the fire started in the first place. This mystery has not been revealed till date.

Aboriginal people have been using fire for thousands of years for warmth, cooking or making tools, according to the people of Wanaruah, a historic community in the region. But the exact cause of the origin of this fire is still unknown.
