Watch my latest history documentary here:- kzhead.info/sun/lpeBoZqNmHiHpKM/bejne.html New upload time and completely new subject for the channel. Bit of a controversial issue this one with a huge amount of pseudo-history and wild claims out there. Some of which I address directly in the film. This doc is based on the latest historical and archaeological evidence. I’ve been working on it for a couple of years and visited many of the places involved in person. Credible comments are welcome, by those with a genuine interest in history, not fantasy like giants and ancient aliens. Topics with no credible evidence have no place on this channel. I’m a one man team so please like, subscribe etc if you enjoyed the vid and let me know in the comments what you’d like to see covered in the future.
I'm glad you posted an actual history video this time. Last time, you posted a video claiming that Jericho is 12,000 years old. Of course, this is not true because the entire Earth is only about 6,000 years old according to the Bible. A city cannot be older than the Earth.

Oh come on. We all know the Chinese were the first to get there, along with Australia.
@@tylerb9877 The bible does not have dates. The "date" was a calculation made in 1652, but the guy who did it failed to take into acount that ancient humans lived for tens of thousands of years, and only started having children when they were at least twenty five thousand years old. They were not physically capable of it before that age. That is why human populations were so small back then, most people were eaten by bears long before they could start making babies. An easy mistake to make, especially considering that people in 1652 knew less than what we know today.
You forgot Niue Island on your map,a place Cook failed to land on,due to the people getting word of his impending arrival. They made human like figures and sat them in Vaka (Canoes) and smeared their mouths with the red dye of the Pandan leaf,Cook thought they were Cannibal savages,and then Named it Savage Island,Niue is my homeland.
That is so interesting! I am going to ask my Niuean work mate if she knows this.
Maori are the best

I use this trick on door to door salesmen. Never fails
Cook never failed at anything nuff nuff
Always with New Zealand History, we start with the first contact between Maori and European. We never cover the long History of pre European Maori, their daily lives, their conflicts, the dominant and aggressive tribes. Their trials and tribulations, how the Pa system originated, how they used their weapons in warfare etc and who was top tribe then. It's always ignored as unimportant, or uninteresting, but I for one would like to know more about those days.
GUNS changed the dynamic of Maori warfare in NZ. Nga Puhi was the first to acquire the advantage of firearms.
Truth is moari wanted english rule to save them from themselves.
Scythian
@@ngatibroffessor1840 there are no treaty rights, moari signed over sovereignty for english rule to stop tribal warfare. Why else would all those chiefs sign? Thats why when they rebelled and starting murdering settlers they had land confisgated as per english rules. Life was tougher then than now. Thats the way the cookie crumbles ie reality.
@@jasonshaw7590 says here are no treaty rights, moari signed over sovereignty for english rule to stop tribal warfare. Why else would all those chiefs sign? REPLY: You clearly havent read the Treaty moron! The Government apologized for breeeches and has settled claims in the bllions to date and ongoinh...thanks :0
As a child in the 1960's I had a pen-pal in New Zealand. I was perhaps 10 years old and my pen-pal was quite a bit older at about 17. She wrote back to me and told me that I might be more satisfied with someone my own age, so it began that I started corresponding with her younger sister who was my age. She lived on a farm on the north island. I remember her 'post' or address read 'Te Amwanutu' or something like that. I remember a picture she sent me of her and her dog. She also sent this small silver trinket in the shape of a little dog; it looked like a little Scottish dog I think. Anyway, we had fun writing back and forth, until I got 'shipped' off too Europe to live with my father. I do remember writing from there, but after that I completely lost touch. Wouldn't it be funny, if someone over there read this comment on U-Tube some 55 years later, and had some long-ago memory of 'two kids as pen-pals' from so very long ago. Funny how I remember that. I was in 6th grade I think. It was fun writing to someone so far away, over half a century ago.
Cute

bro that's a cool story lol it'd be great if you were to find them again
Teawamutu yep farming community central north island
That’s such a cool story to remember! I’m Māori born in the 80’s & I had a pen-pal from America, San Fransisco! I was in primary & thought America & what she would tell me about her home & school was just amazing! I stopped writing when I started high school, I think that’s what started my fascination with America! & the world!
The large flightless birds, the unique biology and botanical diversity is amazing. The temperate rainforests and geological layout, mineralization, fishing a plenty. The place is a wonderland that connects you raw to nature, wild and free.

Maori were not the first people in New Zeeland. Tall, blond Aryans were already living there. The ancient Aryans of New Zealand were there long before the Maori. They were almost all exterminated and erased, but some survived and are still there today. Watch the documentary Skeletons in the Cupboard. They were originally from Persia, but arrived in New Zealand from South America. In ancient times, there were advanced, sea-faring people who travelled the whole world. They built cities everywhere. They were Aryans. The lost tribes.

Maori cannibalism was widespread throughout New Zealand until the mid 1800s but has largely been ignored in history books, says the author of a new book released this week. ... He said the widespread practice of cannibalism was not a food issue but people were eaten often as part of a post-battle rage.
It is not uncommon for the underdogs in any situation to have become food in the more recent settlement era, that snice moas & seals etc became scarce and Christianity/European civilisation values were introduced. It's simply part of history, Europeans cooked witches (without eating them) and gutted & dismembered hung scoundrels for crowd entertainment. Something that could perhaps be usefully introduced to NZ for it's meth and violence problems that some blame on the evils of colonisation (since unable to legally eat pacifists now)
open- ''What is the name off this new book- ?????. Met a gent whose name was Jones and he had his index finger eaten off by a Negro male in U.S.A.
Maori cannibalism IS generally acknowledged in history books where it’s relevant. How is it not a food issue given the distinct lack of large land mammals? As for supposed “post battle rage” it’s far more likely to be “post battle practicality” , that’s a lot of food sitting around going to waste otherwise after all.
It depends on the tribe
Cannibalism is never mentioned by radicals in 2024 nor is the genocide of the Mori Ori people
Epic as usual!
Thanks pal !
I always enjoy these videos. Keep it up man.
Thanks for watching
I have enjoyed all of his videos, except for the last video he posted where he claimed that the city of Jericho is older than the entire Earth.
Thanks for this video, it was very well done and informative. Cheers... 😊😊👍
it was a Micronesian grandmaster navigator who led Hókùle'a to Tahiti in 1976. He revived interest in preserving ancient navigation methods in Hawaii. Clearly the Micronesian use the same methods like stars, wind, waves, currents, clouds, seabirds, sun. They created their own chants to memorized all these.

This is a great video. Thank you very much for taking time to research my culture more. You are very much appreciated for those of us estranged from our ancestral lines.
At first, I'm only interested in HAKA , the war traditional dance of Maori people. However, day by day, I became interested in the Maori origin. The book about Maori in Japanese are not so many. I'm grateful for this informative video. Thank you so much!
Pre Europe Maori history is much better and they pronounce all the Maori names incorrectly, kupe was a real person (in fact there were 2 famous kupes) and his canoe landed on the beach where I live

HMS Endeavour was a converted collier.

What an absolute load of crap. You need to do your homework, the Maori were not the first people to live in NZ there were people here a thousand years before they arrived. Check your History even the Maori will tell you that people were here when they arrived. Suggest you google pre Maori ancient New Zealand, or Ancient ruins in NZ. The Maori academics over the years have done there utmost to hide the early History of this country.

@@paulmcewen This doc is chocked full of speculation and outright fabricaton.
@@paulmcewen your a muppet you do know Maoris were not given that identity until white people arrived and said your race is Maori did the same to the Samoans Tongans Tahitians almost anywhere white people went. Before that Maori people knew they had links to these people around the world long before white people set sail to the sea and the Maori you know today are apart of the ancestors of Nz. The Maori you think came over on ships are the same Maori you think we're here upon arrival. Prove me wrong 🤷
I guess you're talking about the Moriori but they were just another Maori tribe that distanced themselves from the rest and lived in the Chatham islands
Amazing content as always!
I was actually hoping for this before reading your comment at the start of the video, damn someone has to make that docco ASAP. I want a pre europian only documentary.
As a British man my self I love the modern and historical Māori and their traditions and there is a popular British story as I am from Portsmouth which is the worlds most famous naval port of the Royal Navy and the story goes that in world war 2 the New Zealand and British troops was surrounded by the nazis in a battle and amo was running very low for both NZ and Brit soldiers and the NZ soldiers performed the haka in front of the Germans and the NZ troops built instant respect from the brits and vice versa as the brit soldiers joined them in the haka obviously not knowing what they was saying but just gave as much aggressive noice as possible and just charged in and apparently both brits and NZ forces pushed back the advancing nazi forces on that specific day .. knowing that story and seeing the haka in England v NZ in 2003 or 2004 made me gain a small obsession of the history of NZ
That was a place called 42nd street in the olive groves during the battle for Crete 1942
My mum tells me of this story I think its the 28th maori battlion!@@txs
Awesome! Super interesting!

A fascinating journey. I learned so much about the history and culture of the Maori and Polynesians. Thanks
Just watch the colonialist comments, it really twists the history. For example how many maori or other races killed by the invader? Only white deaths mentioned.

You will find hearing the narrative of the Maori indigenous peoples of Aotearoa from the Maori perspective more insightful. Having a narrator of Maori whakapapa, ancestry will offer correct pronunciation of Maori Reo, language Kupu, words. They will also make known how James cook came to circumnavigate the pacific islands and make it to Aotearoa.

HM Bark Endeavour (not HMS) was a second-hand coal cart (neither new nor state of the art). While serving aboard the Endeavour, Cook was a Lieutenant (not a captain).
Gisborne man here: It irks me that everyone believed that he was the captain, it wasn't even him that spotted Aotearoa.
He made Captain eventually. On the first voyage he was the commander. It’s customary to refer to people by their highest rank attained, irrespective of when it was achieved.

Polynesians are part of a much larger family of Austronesians. While Austronesian from the Polynesian group sailed and populated the Pacific, other Austronesians, from Borneo, sailed westward across the Indian Ocean and populated Madagascar who later mixed with Africans to make the modern day Malagasy peoples.
well done this was very true and well pronounced
Nice video bro really enjoyed it. As a person who was taught the Mori Ori were the first people and a person deeply interested in the history of his country, can you link any references you have on this topic? Sorry for the book mate
The Penguin History of New Zealand by Michael King is a great place to start.
As a Maori we even tell of how we were greeted by white people who were native to this land. There's still some descendants called the waka blondes. The mori ori are just Maori who were there but settled in chat an islands.
Maori were not the first people in New Zeeland. Tall, blond Aryans were already living there. The ancient Aryans of New Zealand were there long before the Maori.

That's the excuse the Europeans had when it came time to try take the country from the Maori, as a way of justifying the attempts of doing the same like everywhere else the European went.

Fascinating history. We should never underestimate what humans can accomplish. Thanks again for these videos.
Amazing documentary, thanks!
Can you do the videos related to the Tang dynasty?
Absolutely. I've been researching Tang China for the past year. Something on the cards as soon as possible.
Wu tang for life
Tamara French ... I said the same thing. It’s disgusting how the blue eyed humans . Divided and enslaved these peaceful and loving people. When is this colonizing of the original peoples and land is going to end.

That video is made up nonsense from kooks and amateurs
Fascinating stuff ty ty ty
This was beautiful, thanks.
Francis Squire thanks for watching
To think it's already been almost a year since the day this documentary was released and my first time watching it. Time really flies by!
Time stops for no man.
Great documentary
Maoris are Austronesian Polynesians, their language is part of the Austronesian family. I speak Indonesian, I can identify words between Maori and Indonesian which are still similar. Examples: What = Aha (Maori), Apa (Indonesian) I, me = Ahau (Maori), Aku (Indonesian) Fire = Ahi (Maori), Api (Indonesian) Sky = Rangi (Maori), Langit (Indonesian) Room / House = Ruma (Maori), Ruang / Rumah (Indonesian) Wind = Hau (Maori), Hawa (Indonesian) He / She = Ia (Maori, Indonesian) Root = Aka (Maori), Akar (Indonesian) Eye = Mata (Maori, Indonesian) Nose = Ihu (Maori), Idung / Hidung (Indonesian) Ear = Taringa (Maori), Telinga (Indonesian) Sea = Moana (Maori), Muara (Indonesian, for Estuary) Fur / Hair = Huru-Huru (Maori), Bulu-Bulu / Bulu (Indonesian) Fish = Ika (Maori), Ikan (Indonesian) Coconut tree = Niu (Maori), Nyiur (Indonesian) Armpit = Keke (Maori), Ketek (Indonesian) Continent / Land = Whenua (Maori), Benua (Indonesian) Rain = Ua (Maori), Ujan / Hujan (Indonesian) Dead = Mate (Maori), Mati (Indonesian) Leaf, Trunk = Rau, Katua (Maori), Daun, Kayu (Indonesian) Fruit = Hua (Maori), Buah (Indonesian) Numbers: Two, Five, Six, Seven, Eight = Rua, Rima, Ono, Whitu, Waru (Maori) ; Dua, Lima, Enam, Pitu (Javanese), Wolu (Javanese) - (Indonesian)
Interesting, do you know if they share mythologies? Eg earth mother/sky father? There is a big range of ethnic influences in Indonesia, which are the most similar to Polynesian people?
@@eeeaten Yes, Indonesia is populated by many Austronesian ethnic groups across the archipelago and the Melanesian peoples of the western-half of the Papua island, also other peoples such as Chinese, Arabs, Indians, etc. Most of the dominant ethnic groups have been influenced for many centuries by Hinduism, Buddhism, and later Islam and Christianity. There are peoples, usually in isolated Islands such as the Mentawai people off the west coast of Sumatra, the Nias people in Nias island, and the Dayak people living in Borneo, especially the interior, still retain for the most part Austronesian original culture, evident in their traditional clothing, houses, traditional tattoos, and also their sea boats (Dayak's bangkong) which look very similar to the Maori boats (waka). The root word itself is of the same origin, bangkong, bangka, wangga, wagga; waka. From what I've researched quickly, their beliefs about creation of their peoples vary, some involve stories of migrations to their islands due to conflicts from previous ones, some Dayak and Metawai people have creation tradition involving sky people giving birth to earthly humans, animals, and so forth. I'm not sure if it's in line with Maori traditional accounts.
Im a New Zealander..this is a very well researched and created timepiece about my home country, and for that...mad props👊its the land of the long white weed cloud by the way..
@@des4719 ah East. Coast. Above the bay
Weed. Bro were a meth country lol.
Maori were not the first people in New Zeeland. Tall, blond Aryans were already living there. The ancient Aryans of New Zealand were there long before the Maori. They were almost all exterminated and erased, but some survived and are still there today. Watch the documentary Skeletons in the Cupboard. They were originally from Persia, but arrived in New Zealand from South America. In ancient times, there were advanced, sea-faring people who travelled the whole world. They built cities everywhere. They were Aryans. The lost tribes.
@@koninginvictoria Interesting, I will watch that
Maori historically didn't use drugs they were spirituality inclined
Excellent documentary, the ending could have been more hopeful I feel, but really well done
Cook named tonga the friendly island when the chiefs were planing to kill him😂I guess we just 2 face
Theres a story from my old people that some of our ancestors had killed some pakeha and chopped them up in to small pieces and pickled them put in barrels and sold them back to some of the arrivals on the boats ...the term long pork
cool story bro
So confident this will be fantastic like usual, I hit the like button before the video even started 😂
Ryan Smith Good man!
Pakeha = par-kee-ha Hawaiki = Ha-why-key
What a well put together well research docomentry...10/10. Maybe do a more detailed look at the New Zealand Wars.
kzhead.info/sun/ppqKmLttimp9nmw/bejne.html check out this for a good Englishman's video on trench warfare
@@chairmandrew2894 No thanks. I've seen it. The content was OK however his spelling of PA and pronounciation was off-putting. Gate PA was not the first of the New Maori trenching system using firearms That honor goes to Kawiti in the northern wars.
Thanks very much! I will do one on the Musket and New Zealand Wars eventually for sure! It will require another trip to New Zealand so realistically it’s a few years down the line.
@@HistoryTime you dont need to come to NZ for that. All the data you need is online...
@@PresGrove Jame's Belich is probably the best source material for the NZ Wars. Monty focuses mainly on WW1-2 Maori historical participation.
As soon as I think I'm learning something I'm bombarded by another ad..
Muy interesante....muchas gracias por este excelente documental...(Chile)
Don't know if you're into rugby but congratulations on making the world cup next year cheers from a Maori
Amazing Maori people, cheers from Indonesian Dayak tribe. Kia ora! 🇳🇿🇮🇩
@Josh Mkensie how can a race of people determine the individual? Every person has a different story, a different upbringing especially in this day and age. I don't know anything about you, I can't understand you merely based on one comment, you have your own perspective based on experience. So I hope you can heal whatever you have experienced from other individuals, no matter their race (as that does not determine the individual) so that you are able to heal and learn to love unconditionally and without prejudice. Peace be with you
FUCK INDONESIA! FREE WEST PAPUA
@Josh Mkensie LMAO if we wanted to we could have easily fucked your ancestors up and kept our land but we didn't because our people had more integrity than your ancestors ever did. Loser.
@Josh Mkensie you really are grosse. What an ugly mentality to have. I pray you find some kind of morality towards other humans apart from your own race. The differences between us shows loud and clear with you lady.
@Josh Mkensie as for inbred you do realise the royals and all their ancestors before them were encouraged to breed with their families? 😂 you're born of inbreds lol
this comment section is so toxic its nothing but "you pronounced 'ikabokahimakong' so wrong bro lmao nice try, trust me im a native." not enough people pointing out the fact that this video and every other video this man makes is high quality and amazing
If another race made a video pronouncing London as something like 'Low-in-doo-nee', guaranteed you'd understand comments on the innacurate pronounciation. They arent the same words lol. Of course it will be mentioned.
@@Sambo98199 I understand politely pointing it out, and giving the correct information. it’s not necessary however to be rude and overlook the clear hours of effort and quality content we are looking at
@@LOTLore given the patronising tone of the video its completely understandable.
@@sharonhobbs4144 agree to disagree I guess. It’s a great video with obviously a lot of effort put into it. Don’t hear that tone at all
@@LOTLore Its completely wrong to begin with, totally incorrect.
Very nice. Can you please make video every day for sunrise please
Experts in their fields of archaeology has an interesting finds. As they tend to lean towards fossils, pottery and hand tools. No reference what so ever about the language, that alone is a huge step into the right direction.
What. Linguistic links with the pacific islands is part of how we trace ancestral ties. Maori and cook islanders, and tahitians can understand each other. The same words are used by many pacific cultures.
What a beautiful History, so much pride & culture. Hoping to visit the land of the long white cloud soon, respect from Ph
Well that's the romantic view but along with a type of beauty came utter barbarism. Like the North American Indians, some tribes of Maori did nothing but terrorize the smaller tribes killing women and children, taking slaves, and eating the vanquished.....this didn't just happen once, this was part of their culture right through from landing to colonization, and it was brutal. Unfortunately, most of the killing seemed to be not for land or produce but for pride. Their "mana" or strength was all tied up in this as was a lot of their dances, songs and art displayed. As far as being at one with their natural surroundings goes, many species of bird became extinct because their colorful feathers were valued and the amazing Moa was eaten into extinction.
@@blockhousebay2 You’re so pathetic
@@blockhousebay2 The same could be said about Europeans who terrorized each other for centuries resulting in the deaths of tens of millions of people e.g Napoleonic wars, Crimean wars, WW1 & WW2, Yugoslavia wars, and now the Ukraine war which is on the brink of becoming a third world war. Crawl back under your rock you ignorant blabbermouth
@@blockhousebay2Oh...sounds similar to the behaviour of the Europeans when they graped/pillaged entire nations ALL around the world 😒

MAUI Discovered NZ. He was born in 615 AD. The Maui Migration Settled in NZ. He named NZ, 'The Pearl of the Ocean.' Today, the descendants are known as the Maori Nation along with other Pacific Peoples from the 1350 AD Fleet etc... The Nation has been here over 1300 Years+. NZ is known as the 'FISH of MAUI.' Another way of saying 'MAUI Discovered NZ' (The Pearl of the Ocean.') Also known as 'Aotearoa' 'The Land of the Long White Cloud.' MAUI also went to the South Island, he told his brothers not to cut the FISH up. (Meaning the Whole of the Country of NZ). His Double-Hulled Waka (Canoe) is on Mount Hikurangi Summit, turned to stone.
This is obviously mythology, not reality.
NZ had been called New Zealand since 1642 and Aotearoa came about in 1855. This is 13 years after the signing of the crown.
by whom? parts of new zealand had many names for hundreds of hears before tasman arrived. it's most likely that a large part of it has been called aotearoa for hundreds of years by its inhabitants, so that is the most appropriate name for it now.
Biographies. The dutch explorer Abel Tasman is officially recognised as the first European to 'discover' New Zealand in 1642. His men were the first Europeans to have a confirmed encounter with Māori. the name new zealand derives from the dutch province Zeeland.
yes that was a weird omission from the beginning. tasman's arrival is discussed from 38:50
It was named New Zeeland back then
The french beat him to it. Landed in a place called orokawa bay. The local Maori killed some of the sailors so the french set their cannons on the pa and blew the shit out it for like three days and then fucked off.
@@tonymorgan9240 According to Tasman's own Journal "We gave this land the name Stadten Land....". The name Nova Zeeland was used by a Cartographer , years later. Cook called it New Zealand after he had surveyed/mapped it.
Doesn't it mean little Holland or something like that?
I know that voice. And, I thought I'd left you in the icy waters of the North Atlantic with the Vikings. Nice work Pete! Thanks again.
Fantastic
All I could think of is the Drunk History episode about Captain Cook....hahaha
