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.

Im a moari bro this sounds about rite...plumm is abit out outthhere 4 my taste...watched alot of ur vids. Sound lodgic
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
@@rachaelbean4130 Ive heard this account also...
I use this trick on door to door salesmen. Never fails
Cook never failed at anything nuff nuff
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
jackieR.- ''Te Awamutu town below hamilton
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.
you are totally right but this documentary is false as it’s not truthful to history as i am a NZ Maori i have been brought up with the stories and historic events of this beautiful land
@@thorporter8319 You say so, yet does not substantiate so.
nature at its best along with volcanoes
So glad this video and your channel is as successful has it has been.
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
Here in Hawaii they still refer to him as Capt. Cooked and Eaten.

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
Good job.... to the scientist and the film makers good JOB ...am now become a subscriber with this net work for life... I love it

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.

Great documentary. U make it really easy to follow along. I learned so much from this.
Fascinating documentary! Beautifully presented & enjoyed the voice of the presenter.......really easy to listen to!

Loved this
Absolutely love the artwork! Youre right, it is very similar in some regards to scandinavian, thats interesting.
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.
Fascinating stuff ty ty ty

Hello Mary I felt same way i had to watched it over and over again😊 cause i barely know much about NZ,
How're you feeling hope you're fine and staying safe, I'm Harry from FL and you?
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

Are you forgetting the Moriori . The people who were there when the Maori arrived ? The people who were all killed by the newcomer Maori .
nope. they were part of the maori that come to nz and split off at a later date
I was thinking the same thing. If someone is doing a history documentary at lease get the history right
@@mouse7669 You know that is really interesting . I was born in NZ in 1948 and can tell you that things have changed a lot since then . What we were taught at school has in many cases been proven to be incorrect .With the deeper investigations and greater knowledge gleaned from many sources, those “facts” have in some cases been added to , and sometimes disproven .Thank you .
They left out the white people who were there first.
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.
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
The Pom pronunciation doesn't come close
You'll find a ton of information from fellow Māori on tiktok, or if you're into metal, check out Alien Weaponry
Ki ora bro
@devious1 yes on separate migrations
Amazing content as always!
Quality! Hope you'll make more videos. Such as precolumbian north america.
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
Beautiful knowledgeable comments here , thanks

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.
I love your docs man, especially these ones in multiple parts. You're one of the best if not THE BEST.
Thanks very much!
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.
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.

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.

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
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.
Wrong...it was not *originally* called Aotearoa. The Maori, though they had a name for each of the islands, actually had no name for the entire"country" we now all know as New Zealand. The name Aotearoa was applied only to the North Island, and was not actually used as a name for the whole country until the post colonial era when it was the *English* Governor Grey who used the name for the entire country in a book he wrote in 1855 after doing research into local lore and legend.
Lol ok if you say so
im pretty sure he said that Aotearoa mostly reffered to the NI :/
They literally said that in the video.. "They used the name for the North island alone at first".
@@mangamaddness1 fact!!! Te Ika-a-Māui. North Island and Te Waipounamu is the South Island!
The word ‘maori’ (human, normal) was not used as a name for the indigenous population until the 1850s either.
Very interesting, thanks.
Suggest checking some punctuation eg. pakeha, Ngapuhi, kumera, tahunga, et al. Thanks.
Polynesians were like the Vikings of the southern hemisphere, warrior-navigators who explored and settled the most remote parts of the planet.
Assuming the Vikings lost the knowledge of metallurgy, use of the bow and arrow, writing and became cannibalistic then I suppose your right.
@Jeri Brown Oh yes they did - very, very much so. They did so back in their origins e.g. Hawaiki. That's why many of them had to leave their origins. Further the evidence is all over the North and South Islands of New Zealand where raiding and warfare was regular. For the worst example look at the history of the Chatham Islands where in one genocide occurred and by the late 1890s out of all the original population of 2-3000 only 35 survived.
@@hariseldon3786 So.....whole tribes and people groups were wiped out in Europe, the America's, Asia and Africa. Humans have done that from the beginning!
@@zabaleta66 Yes. The story of 'colonialism' is ubiquitous to most civilizations. Doesn't make it right (of course) but as well to blame "colonialism" for many of the issues of the world is often a cop-out for "we don't want to take responsibility for our own actions, before (e.g. enslaving other tribes), during (e.g. same as before but also choosing to ally with the recent arrivals) and subsequent - still sometimes allied, still sometimes dominant, but now with the addition of being able to claim 'victim-hood'. History of the Chatham Island being a very good example in the case of NZ (the Maori usurpers over the Maoriori have Treaty of Waitangi rights (e.g. land and benefits) over the few remnants of the genocide).
@@hariseldon3786 By all means let the remaining Moriori claim justice over the TWO small tribes, Ngāti Tama and Ngāti Mutunga. I don't like how you're saying 'Maori' as if they all agreed to invade the chathams. You're just a victim of British propaganda. There were, and still are 100's of tribes, barely any of them were allies. So how can the entire Māori population be blamed for the cruelty of TWO tribes? That's like saying all Europeans are racist, jew-hating assholes like the Nazi's. Do your research friend, Moriori were never on the North and South island. They were only on the Chathams.
The place we come from was named “Hawaiki”

Some think that was Easter islands original name...I believe its what's others refer to as "Mu"
In legends it says 'the great land of Hawaiki', so all these small ass islands are not where we originate from because the great land sunk.
Nah its hayawaka he rekons 😂 whata dikhead
I like the way you brushed over the reasons for Cooks death
Thanks
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.
@@AdamNZ Wasn't it Young Nick who spotted land first? I.e. Young Nick's Head.
@@thequietkiwi Lucky you, his name was not Dick!
@Only whites get skin cancer A captain is a captain, a cook is a cook. Only whites get Cook and cook confused, I guess. No respect for Cookie?

@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
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.
sorry to inform you but this is not actually factual history.... try this. czcams.com/video/FKd6ru71ktY/video.html or czcams.com/video/rf_inGOubEg/video.html
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.
@@NgatiSoulMusicEwshhproductions How are you pushing this... you know full well that maori are not indigenous

HMS Endeavour was a converted collier. "She was launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, with the Navy purchasing her in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land"." She was chosen for her carrying capacity.

Thank you for taking the time to do a history class on us.
Indeed
@Ariadne /Lady Lettie I wonder if he "forgot to mention" or simply did not have the resources or time to properly research NZ's history - pre colonisation. If done right - that's like a 10 ep series in itself imho. Not to worry though! NZ's true history coming to a school near you. This is where we will raise our own informed lil story tellers 🥰
Fantastic

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
Altearoa is pretty much alive, because it is the heart of the Pacific Islands & no matter what, times begins in the Pacific Islands. Nothing can change that on the face of the Earth

It's a shame saying that James Cook was the 1st european to discover or at least the 1st determand to set foot upon New Zealand. The country is named after a province of the Netherlands, Zeeland. The 1st european there was Abel Tasman some 120 years before, yes certainly 120 years before Cookie
Bet someone from what is now Indonesia got there before Tasman..
Cook gets the glory for Australia too, but he wasn't even close. Abel Tasman and Dirk Hartogg beat him by a century.
That's the Brits for you though.

@@adventussaxonum448 saw it through? That's a quaint term for "stole it", whether that was the land, the title, the glory or the wealth - as you say, that's the Brits for you.
Meanwhile, 600 years ago the Chinese and Indonesians were trading with indigenous Australians (you know, the people who really actually saw it through for 60000 years).

@@brycedavies1437 Skeletons in the cupboard ?
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. 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.
@@koninginvictoriawhere's the proof of that lmao Māoris were on the land first and white people of course came and ruined it with the diseases and greed don't try to reverse it
That's wonderful
What a lovely programme. I loved that picture of the Maori couple with their 10 children.
the natives would murder their baby girls by pressing the crown of their head in after birth because they wanted boys at the time, their customs and traditions were put to a stop thank God and now they have a new culture of LAW & ORDER!
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?
What a well put together well research docomentry...10/10. Maybe do a more detailed look at the New Zealand Wars.

@@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.

The moriori are the first people of New Zealand.The volcano Taupo made the north island inhabitable and most of the south island was frozen due to ash cloud.Taupo could be seen from Rome and China erupting 5000 years ago.
Well at least someones got a brain and knows the true history i think this doco is for the new generation.dumb generation.
none of that is true.
@@eeeaten how do you know?
@@daho422 science and history. the taupo eruption was about 1800 years ago, carbon dated to 232AD. there are no records of it from rome and china that match the date. it didn't freeze the south island. there's no evidence for people in nz until around 1250AD.
@@eeeaten oh my mistake, I was meaning the first part of what he wrote. The other part not interested.
The Moriori were the first to colonise NZ. They may have been related to the moari - perhaps an earlier wave or fishers and traders who got caught by the changing currents but they were here for hundreds of years before the moari turned up.
Yes very true. They just were not on the main two islands (north and south). They settled the Chatham Islands.
Apom Taylor - I just did some reading which is always a good idea when commenting on things one doesn’t really know about. It looks like I am operating on old information and it isn’t correct. I always understood that the moriori were early hunters that got trapped by changing currents in New Zealand, who were then forced out the the Chatham Islands when the various waves of wakanui arrived and then later still were wiped out when the Taranaki invaded. But it looks like a much more complicated and nuanced history than that.
They inhabited the chattams thats all.
@@gnomesb Thanks for you honest and open mind here Naomi- far to many people in NZ dont display this thespinoff.co.nz/atea/03-08-2018/the-moriori-myth-and-why-its-still-with-us/
@@user-uy6uc5ey5q Thanks D, somehow I missed your response and I see 9 months have passed but the article is really interesting and useful for pointing out how such a myth is used to bolster a pakeha justification of their actions. I am shocked to learn that the Moriori myth was completely disassembled and debunked in the 1970's but the beginnings of it long before that. My education was after this time (1980s mainly). I am not sure if it is something I picked up reading or at school but obviously it was obsolete as a theory long before I learned it. My apologies for perpetuating the myth and thank you for educating me. I'm going to try to get hold of David Simmons' book.
