Uluru is also a sacred site because of a birthing-cave in the rock. It is a place where women went in childbirth in the belief that they would have a painless delivery there. There are more than 200,00 tourists climb Uluru every year so I personally think it would be disrespectful to the Aboriginals.
Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
the Anangu people have lived and managed this country for many millennia. Archaeological evidence shows that Aboriginal people have inhabited Central Australia for more than 30,000 years.
In 1872, a party led by the explorer Ernest Giles spotted Kata Tjuta during their travels through Central Australia.
The following year, explorer William Gosse became the first European to see Uluru.
