Megalithomaniac Hugh Newman investigates the massive, megalithic pyramid platforms called 'Langi' on Tonga in the South Pacific. They are located near the famous Haʻamonga ʻa Maui Trilithon. There are about twenty eight 'Langi' that are of megalithic construction, some with strange notches like those found at Stonehenge and in Peru. The ancient capital city and port was called Mu'a, that some researchers say may be connected with the lost continent of 'Mu' or Lemuria.

    Langi in Tongan means 1.Sky 2.Royal burial mounts(Tu'i Tonga's rule from)
    The toa tree that Aho'eitu climbed to his father was a metaphor. Toa tree-actual name=Hala ki Langi, Langi is where Tangaloa ruled from. find Hala ki Langi in Tonga then you have decode the Tongan metaphor of Aho'eitu climbing the toa tree to Tangaloa.

    Well the story goes that the kings blood line traces back to people that came from the sky/langi and they were considered giants and a clear indication of that is Queen Sālote Tupou III she was 6ft 3in tall. Even in the Holy Bible there are mentions of Giants.

Your empire was barely heard of in eastern Polynesia. Tongans did not build the moai of rapanui no material of the stone came from tonga if so where are the moai statues in tonga you only have steps and the haamounga a maui. Your empire never ruled any part of the Americas don't know who the fk told ypu that lol😂😂😂 get out of your coconut head Mata lemu.

    The word 'Langi' is samoan for sky. Not sure if that is true in the Tongan language but they are both very similar.

    • @jaqenhghar2970
      @jaqenhghar2970 Před 6 lety +6

      interesting assumption. The "pā" in Tongan is a variant of the old Tongan "fā" which means "to appear" or "break", as in the "break of dawn". When the ancestors saw the first white men arriving to their islands, it was said that they were appearing [pā] from the heavens [langi]. I personally think it's sad that we use such a word to describe the white man. The word pālangi is supposed to be sacred, but was misconstrued by the early Christian missionaries. Another interesting thing is that the word for foreigner in Persian is ''phreng', pronounced fereng[i]. It sorta sounds or looks similar to the Polynesian 'palangi'.

    • @manuhamoa
      @manuhamoa Před 6 lety +4

      +waskly wabbit, the full word is papalagi but has been shortened to palagi. According to some Tongan historian the word papalagi is made up of 2 words, papa meaning earth and lagi meaning sky. When whitemen arrived in the Pacific, our peoples believed they came from a far away place and from a distance they appear to emerge between papa and lagi, hence the word papalagi/papalangi.

    • @ravaloanui365
      @ravaloanui365 Před 6 lety +12

      +Jaqen H'ghar. In Iran, there is actually a city called Palangi. The word فرنگی (farangī) does mean foreigner in Persian. Also in ancient Sumeria (present-day Iraq), one of the gods is named Ahki (pronounced Ay-kee) which is also similar to the Tongan word for god ('Eiki). More interesting is that Ahki is the patron god of the sea.

      TamaMao'i en route to polynesia our ancestors either settled for a short amount of time in Indonesia and left or stayed for x amount of time and left onwards to polynesia. Hawaii mythology has strong ties to Indonesian surroundings and also mythology from the aliferu(indigenous) people of the Maluku islands.

    oh come on, they were not for burials or any crap like that, this is what everyone always says when they can't explain something. They were used for whatever all the other sites were using them for, whatever that is. Sites like this are just the high spots of much greater landmasses that were flooded. The leftovers if you will. Same for Easter Island, same for Nan Madol, just were the highest peaks.
