Aotearoa's Patu-paiarehe people (the pre-Maori stonebuilders).

historians and scientists are forever updating their views on what happened when, so when popular thought says something is impossible, it could just mean not everyone believes it yet.

Like Ancient Europeans living in NZ and Australia? check the links.

Phoenicians in Australia who left evidence of a port, statues, altars to Ba'al, a quarry and a pyramid which has been mostly destroyed.

Celts In Aotearoa who made a stone circle in alignment with North Island volcanoes.

the red-haired Patu-paiarehe people (the pre-Maori stonebuilders) who left geographical marker-stones around Auckland and NZ, and stories of whom exist in Maori folklore.

I took this photo out in Wiri off Roscommon Road last year but forgot about it up until now finding those articles.. It looks a lot like a pyramid, no?

Its currently being quarried to death. Check out this sattelite image, you can see the quarry but you can also so how square this "hill" is. I can't find anything about it online.


i've upped the contrast so you can see it better, the photo looks like its taken at a slight angle but its pretty unmistakable. People told me its a natural hill that was probably terraced for cultivation or mining. the land around it is all flat. I want to go the quarry and have a look what its made of!

Samoan Pyramid?!

no shit!

Ok, i know there's pyramids in Egypt, Central and South America... and even in China... and comparabile mounds throughout Europe.

But Polynesia? I didn't know any Polynesian peoples made structures of stone (except Easter Islanders). I guess this is interesting to me because Pyramids are pretty much everywhere, built round the same time by cultures that apparently weren't in contact with each other and didn't have large earth moving technology.

Convential archeology says that they are burial mounds or tombs. or astrological observation platforms. could be right... the star-gazing Polynesians had the most advanced knowledge of navigation of any ancient people. real talk.

I know so many people that have been to Samoa but never heard any one mention a Pyramid.

well this ain't a theory, its a fact, check it out:
on wikipedia

or there's a great article here

the white man brought huge change to the islanders, and i think its tragic how their traditional religions and their knowledge of the world is unrecorded and now all but gone forever. Like the Central and South American Cultures. The biggest Pyramid in the world is in Mexico and 90% of it is unexcavated... because the murderous Conquistadores built a Catholic Church on it which is now considered a national monument that can't be moved. I have almost finished reading the whole Bible and i still can't understand how Christian ideology led to centuries of oppression, genocide, supression of science and culture.. don't get me started!
