![]() ![]() There were people here before the Polynesian migrations. Before this belief continues any longer, we owe it to ourselves, and to the original ancestors of this land, to look at the facts. Whole new generations grow up with a picture of this land as pristine and pure, uninhabited until Polynesian footprints placed upon our shores. We’ve all seen the documentaries and visual imagery is compelling. "The new ‘revised’ history of New Zealand "It should not be about politics, history is history! and should not be denied, despite personal views! Its away to piece together humanities history!? Below is an insert of one of the very few stories outlining the pre Maori colonization. I once did some work for the tourist office here and someone came in one day inquiring about the carvings, there were 2 maori in the office at the time that overheard his inquiry and immediately turned round to give be a stare of disgust, i had to politely mentioned i knew of no such carvings, luckily enough i manage to catch up with him at a local cafe to explain the directions and the reason for having to lie to him. The symbols have been chalk outlined so they can be seen, since this picture was taken they have been defaced. We have stone carvings here where recently acid has been poured on them to hide there inscriptions as they were of Celtic origin and not Maori, however i have managed to find 5 pictures which are open to interpretation that are local here. The Auckland museum refuses to acknowledge anything pre Maori. The British museum recently returned a mummified head back to the state here that was of a red hair of European origin again only to be hidden away. There is much politics here about our past, and any sites that have been found have either been destroyed, fenced off or hidden away or reclaimed by the Maori to be burried/hidden away for ever. ![]() Shortstack you are correct, New Zealand does hold a lot of history, However archeology here in New Zealand is very secret, as anything that dates pre Maori, is generally destroyed. (was going to be a response to another thread but thought this could be better as a new topic, You also wont come across much research done in NZ as its hush hush!!! this could be a first on here if not very rare!).
