There are two main beliefs surrounding the monoliths formation, the Indigenous Tjukurpa stories and the geological explanation. The Anangu people have been living on, and held a strong connection to, land around Uluru for over 30, years. Anangu Tjukurpa religious philosophy and stories teach that Uluru is a living being and is the resting place for their ancestral beings.
Tjukurpa stories teach the community where to find food and water, act as maps providing directions across the vast desert land, teach lessons about how to live on the land and appropriate social behaviour, as well as hold traditions and cultural customs.

Uluru started underwater and began with two fans, one made of sand, the other of conglomerate rock. The movement of tectonic plates and the pressure of the sea water over it resulted in these two fans condensing into rock.
As Australia dried up and the sea floor became arid desert, Uluru was exposed to what we know it as today. The rock gets its bright red colour from iron minerals within the rock rusting as they are exposed to the outside air.
The large holes are due to erosion on the rock, with continuous rainfall filling up the shallow holes until they become deeper and deeper.
