Or all the stories from the tribes around rotorua and taupo saying that they wernt here first...or the fact that the koru pa at taranaki was built at a time when there was clear evidence that not enough people were in NZ let alone taranaki to build it...and man it effectively....it was printed that it was built a long time before the maori were said to arrive? Or the spanish armour found at pouto,or the aboriginal boomerang found in dargaville,or the tamil bell found in wellington harbour,or the 7-8ft tall skeletons found in the raglan caves...with long platted red hair,and samples of a woven tartan cloth found with them.There is alot of evidence hidden and its sad,because its our history,european or maori,we have the right to know.Some sites are worthy of Unesco preservation,but DOC shoves it all under the carpet. One tribe had its MDNA traced back to iran,as mentioned in the tribes stories,they always knew where and when they came from........ |
