The Sinking of Hiva
The story of the sinking of Hiva is a myth deeply rooted in Polynesian oral traditions, particularly in the narratives of the Marquesas Islands and surrounding archipelagos.
Hiva was described as a prosperous and fertile land where the ancestors of the Polynesian people thrived.
The Polynesian myths of Hiva
The myth of Hiva is rooted in Polynesian culture and oral traditions.
Hiva is often referenced in connection with the legendary ancestral homelands of various Polynesian peoples.
Hiva is considered one of the ancient homelands or spiritual places of origin for Polynesians.
Different Polynesian cultures have variations of myths involving Hiva, but they share the common theme of it being an ancestral homeland that holds spiritual and cultural importance.
In some versions of Polynesian mythology, Hiva is portrayed as a paradise where the gods and ancestors dwell.
The Destruction of Atlantis described in the deluge legends
"Let us observe, however, that probably the diluvian tradition is not primitive, but imported in America; that it undoubtedly wears the aspect of an importation among the rare populations of the yellow race where it is found; and lastly, that it is doubtful among the Polynesians of Oceania.
Easter Island and Göbekli Tepe
Symmetry of Two Figures: There appear to be two symmetric animals or figures, which could represent the duality often found in Polynesian art, symbolizing balance, fertility, or power.
The Two Fish From Tahiti
Centuries ago it was one of the points visited by the Vikings of the Pacific, the Polynesian sea-rovers, among whom certain chiefs of the Hawaiian Islands were not the least noted.
Turtle
Hawaiian Legend: Kumukahi is a mythical turtle said to have guided the first Polynesians to Hawaii.
Polynesian DNA
Researchers, including Stanford University's Alexander Ioannidis and Andrés Moreno Estrada from Mexico’s National Laboratory of Genetics for Biodiversity, analyzed DNA from 430 modern Polynesians.
Through this approach, the team traced the journey of Polynesian navigators starting from Samoa around 800 C.E.
Additionally, the research uncovered genetic traces of Native American ancestry in some Polynesian populations, suggesting contact with the Americas around 1100 C.E.
The detailed genetic analysis highlighted that while Polynesian settlements were largely isolated following each new landfall, there was also evidence of continued inter-island contact and intermarriage, as indicated by the presence of shared genetic markers.
Ultimately, this genetic mapping not only provided a clearer picture of the Polynesian expansion but also offered potential benefits for contemporary medical research.
Understanding the genetic diversity and specific patterns of Polynesian populations could help address medical conditions prevalent among these communities, which might be overlooked in broader genetic studies based predominantly on European and Asian populations.
Polynesians as Descendants of Lemurians
Channeling the spiritual and ancestral connections of Polynesians, particularly their relationship to Lemuria.
Polynesians as Descendants of Lemurians:
The discussion begins by confirming that Polynesians, along with other indigenous groups like Native Americans and South Americans, are descendants of ancient Lemurians.
Polynesians, in particular, have a more concentrated connection to Lemurian ancestry.
The speaker highlights a unique aspect of Polynesian DNA, which contains a "Lemurian indicator."
For Polynesians, connecting to the Earth, especially within the Pacific region, is vital for activating their spiritual and ancestral knowledge.
Polynesians are described as "people of the land," deeply connected to their environment and natural elements.
Polynesians and others with this unique DNA structure might struggle with living in urban, high-rise environments for extended periods because it disconnects them from the land.
The Pleiadian Influence
In Polynesian cultures, the Pleiades are known as "Matariki" in Maori and are associated with the Maori New Year.
From the Greeks and the Aboriginal Australians to the Native Americans, Japanese, Hindus, Chinese, Norse, and Polynesians, the Pleiades have been a source of inspiration, guiding agricultural practices, marking seasonal changes, and symbolizing various spiritual and mythological themes.
The Lost Continent of Mu
He also claimed that Polynesian megalithic art originated from Mu, though his assertions about the materials and origins of artifacts like the moai statues on Easter Island were later disproven.
Mū Civilisation
A study in 2021 concluded that a distinctive Basal-East Asian lineage (sometimes termed as 'East- and Southeast Asian lineage' (ESEA)), which is ancestral to modern East and Southeast Asians, Polynesians, and Siberians, originated in Mainland Southeast Asia at ~50,000BC, and expanded through multiple migration waves southwards and northwards respectively.
