History
It is believed that Mount Zeil was named during or following Ernest Giles's 1872 expedition, probably after Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil (1841–1890), who had recently distinguished himself with geographic explorations in Spitzbergen; a footnote in Giles' published journal implies that the naming was instigated by his benefactor, Baron Ferdinand von Mueller.[1]
Indigenous etymology
The name for Mount Zeil in the Western Arrernte language is Urlatherrke, referring to the Yeperenye caterpillars.[3]
UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)
On episode #2314 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Harold E. Puthoff referred to a CIA program called Stargate Project, that identified Mount Zeil as the location of a Secret alien base.
It can also be noted that Mount Zeil is also in the same region as Pine Gap, a Joint Defence Space Research Facility. The station is jointly run by the Australian Defence Force (Australian Signals Directorate), the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), US National Security Agency (NSA), and US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).[4]
Wycliff Well is also in this region.
