| Season 1 - Before The Egyptians Polynesia - Show #10  Archaeologists have discovered
that in the northern Moluccas, between Sulawesi and New Guinea, humans were visiting the coastal caves of Golo and Wetef on Gebe Island 33,000 years ago. Caves and open sites on coastal
Sulawesi, northern coastal New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the northern Solomons (southeast of New Guinea) have also produced similar dates.
Excavations on Easter Island (by Thor Heyerdahl) proved there were three separate epochs in the history of the island, which are simply named Early, Middle and Late Periods. In the Early Period there was no production of giant statues, only altar-like elevations of very large and very precisely cut and joined stones, which were erected with their facades towards the ocean. They were astronomically oriented and obviously constructed by highly specialized stone masons. As well, Easter Island script was incised on wooden rongo-rongo tablets, and the only other place that this type of script has been found is among the early Indians who lived around Lake Titicaca high in the Andes. There is no evidence the Polynesian people ever had the ability to write a script |
