       A map of early Polynesian/ Melanesian migration voyages across the Pacific — in open sailing canoes, without navigational instruments of any description.

       @ccohanlon there is cultural evidence that the “people of the land of mist and frogs” which were “across the sea to the east” from Hawaii, were the Mayans in Guatemala. There is also the question of how they got sweet potatoes, which are indigenous to the Americas. Probably the greatest explorers in history.

       @atyh That's no longer given much consideration by  ethnologists. My wife is 50% Polynesian and her DNA cointains traces of her SE Asian antecedents. There is substantial evidence of very early migrations west through the Pacific from Indonesia and further north.

       @ccohanlon Congratulations on your promotion. Speaking for all establishment ethnologists is a serious responsibility! Im sure youll do well. Also, the Polynesians went to central America.  🛶 😃
