- Information taken from a number of sources ranging from the interviews with Maya Lynch (so grateful for her work on this) to canoe building and an experiment on how magnets can bend light... I am of Samoan descent and had never had even a HINT about this extremely important clue to our pre-colonised ancient past...

being a very passionate Samoan living in New Zealand and travelled to some counties overseas, always proud of our people. All knowledge are embraced. it is always nice to see these about our island and its history. I also respect other Samoans views in regards to foundings. it's a history lesson for us, and for our future generations. We must always keep research ourselves, our people for the truth and not reliant on other ethnicity to research about us and the truth. Thank you and this was interesting, but as I said I also respect the input from Savaii people. As long as the future generation continue to find and record our beautul island and our history...the correct and truthful findings. Manuia.
Agreed, I completely respect the input from our people and would like MORE of it to add to the story that has come from the geographical and archaelogical evidence, it doesn't have to be either or, but both complementing and corroborating the other... the findings of the land are irrefutable, the stories from the people can be time-bound and restricted in scope and view according to the source... it is all layers and all useful... keeping knowledge alive is most important. Manuia.
I'm creating a commissioned art piece featuring the Pulemelei star mound pyramid. Just diving into this unknown story to me and it's fascinating. I just watched Maya's interview and a few things lined up with my concept as I was sketching and listening. My color scheme for the sky was going to be orange and purple - coincidentally the same color lights she mentioned flashing in her eyes. The star mound aligning to the southern cross - I drew that in my sketch and in a few moments after she shared that the star mound aligns with the constellation at the summer solstice! Damn... Something's definitely being channeled thru the airwaves. That ancestoral vibration to connect across time. Crazy. Fa'afetai tele lava for sharing your info...
Thanks for the feedback, glad this was of use. If you listened to Maya then you will know that the foundation of what I put together is from her generous sharing of her experience, alas, I was too late to this to actually purchase her (now removed from print) book.... I would love to SEE your finished work IF that is at all possible on here, when done. :) x
This was wonderful, Li. ❤️❤️🌺🌺
It’s amazing you’ve actually been called by the ancestors to bring this to light. If you have anymore information please share sis. Thank you much much alofas😁🙏❤️
There is more info offered by others here but I wanted to pop in to let you know about a book that may interest you... it is called 'The Bowl of Light' by Hank Wesselman, and contains ancient kahuna wisdom, the closest I feel I can get to what is likely to have been the original spiritual tradition of Samoa before the Christian missionaries came and drove it firmly underground... alofa atu.
@@iamheartslight thank you sis. I will have a look into it 😁🙏❤️
Faafetai Tele Lava My Sister in Light ✨🌺 for this amazing video! I remember this place and the lands are calling for us to rise up and be strong! Keep healing and keep uncovering the truths within 💪🏾✨🔥
Faafetai, for seeing me Sistar, I see you too. Alofa tele atu. }:{ Li
Love ur sharing....regard from ur ancestor land (Malaysia) actually there is no weird cause in malaysia itself have many hill that after researching process found that is not natural hill but a human made pyramid..Coz the temperature and humid in Malaysia lead the pyramid to cover by wild plants. Same goes to indonesia ..there is lot of pyramid building covered by wild plants... Keep ur mana to find the truth... Malay race is the greatest... Nice video btw..... congrats
This is fascinating learning more about Pulemelei. Thank you for sharing🙏🏽
They say Samoans were natural healers or polynesians and that they had Deities that would aid them with certain things
Tahitians built these aswell but they were abit bigger. Same thing over in Hawaii.
I'm not sure what the term for heiau or temple is in Gagana Fa'a Sāmoa, but my guess would be a temple that would house a God and its worship and care was facilitated by priests. The unfortunate but at the same time fortunate thing that happened was the complete conversion to Christianity, so much of the old ways have been erased and a relatively new Fa'a Samoa is observed. If someone has knowledge of the old religion I think it would add a lot of detail. The mana that would well up from the fantasy, would permeate the main housing or the main hall of the temple. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a structure on the top housing an idol. I also wouldn't be surprised if there is a perimeter wall or remnants if one nearby, and other posts for idols. I'm not sure how close the ancient Samoan religion was to Hawaiian or Māori, but if it is, then definitely there would be a type of idol, in a structure. Or it could be a human sacrificial location, the 'usually needs to be researched for human remains. Either that or offerings for the Gods, or food for tge priestly class would be cooked on it. Also I'm not sure if Samoan people use ti root fir dyes, but it can be crushed and mixed into dark mud or clay to dye kapa(siapo) to blacken it. I'm not sure what black kapa is used for but I do know that in ancient Hawaii white black kapa was used as an idol representing certain God's such as Lono. It would be great when we solve the mystery.
Umm Maoris and Hawaiians were non- existent at the time of the construction of Pulemele'i. Paao and Pili were from this exact island before erecting the first Heiau on HAVAI'I (Waipio Valley).. After landing on UPOLU point. Also King Kalakaua said himself that the Kahuna religion was brought from Samoa. Most likely... SAVAI'I.
Maoris and Hawaiians would've just held remnants of the old Samoa religion, but yes. It would supply many clues.
You need to speak to a man named ALMA MALATI he is in Brisbane cheers
Wow
Pulemelei Siaheulupe was built by Tu'itonga Momo Talafata around 800AD similar to Talitumu fortress in Uvea built by Kau'ulufonua 1100AD before Tu'itatui story 'Uno o Sangone😊
Is 'Pulemelei Siaheulupe' the full name and please do you have a source for this information that attributes its construction to Tu'itonga Momo Talafata? Thank You :)...
This is the Tongan Tu'i Tonga era which I don't believe is older than the Samoan pyramid but if it can be carbon dated then I can believe JM Jm.

@@josemacbeth1641 Maui Fusifonua found and named Manuka Ofu Ta'u Pangai in Ha'amoa! Tonga remains the only Monarchy Country that never be colonised to this day!
@@iamheartslight Thats the thing about us tongans, we be out here embarrassing our country and spreading false information, coz in our oral tradition it doesn't even say tu'itonga momo talafata built it, i don't know abt JM JM but this person goes on all samoan videos and commenting this same comment but can't provide a link or page that states their facts 🤣🤣🤣 We needa stop budging into other culture history when non of our tongan culture influenced the samoan culture!

The Pulemelei case indicated that a previously utilised site was
chosen to build a large mound around the 12th-13th century. The
slabs on edge making up a sort of outline frame of the structure were detected
at the bottom layer. This could indicate that this is the work of Tongans,
and thus equivalent to the stone work making up the langi structures.
However, at Pulemelei the slabs on edge were of basalt stone and the
langi stones are mainly of beach rock. The platform/mound at the
bottom at Pulemelei which was detected by the use of geophysical
analysis, should not be ruled out as containing a potential burial vault.
This could tie Pulemelei to the langi tradition but so far no direct
evidence confirms this (Clark and Biran 2007). Excavation at the so
called “Tongan wall” a kilometre up-hill from Pulemelei by us in 2004
(Martinsson-Wallin et al. 2007: 57) indicates that this feature is
contemporary with or even slightly older than the initial Pulemelei
platform. This could point to a Tongan connection but alternative
interpretations could also explain the name of the wall.
The current research shows that there are two main types of large
mound; the irregular pigeon snaring mounds (tia seu lupe) usually at
inland locations, and probably dating within the last 300-500 years; and
large scale truncated mounds making up high raised platforms with
slanting sides with dates going back 700-900 years. The former, with
slight differences in outline and shape but similar use, exists on various
islands in West Polynesia, especially in Tonga, Independent Samoa and
American Samoa and are tied to the chiefly sport of pigeon hunting.
Large truncated mounds exist as chiefly burial mounds, langi, in Tonga
and a few other large scale mounds found on other West Polynesian
islands usually related to chiefly power. The largest two are found in
Independent Samoa and are almost non-existent in American Samoa.
Archaeological investigations to date place initial building of larger
mounds to 700-900 years ago and it is not unlikely that this coincides
with the expansion of Tongan rule and population increases at certain
productive or in other ways important sites in Samoa. A population
increase usually influences the emergence of hierarchies and a more
complex society
Actually, it was built by Tagaloa and his people for time-travel.

Care to expand on that or point me in the direction of information on this... I am very keen to learn more... 😊✨
@@VikxDaNephite sorry, Tagaloa is not a sun god. Nowhere in Samoan traditions is he associated with sun-worship. Quit misleading people.
@@VikxDaNephite you chose sun god because it sounds cooler? That is misleading. Calling him a sun god is associating him with sun-worship. Do you not see the word sun in both compound words? Also, sun god is worshipped by some, thus it’s called sun worship. Can you not see the obvious connection? The elders never said he is a sun god. It may be a myth, but nowhere in the myth does it say he was a sun god; hence, that is misleading.
@@VikxDaNephite because the time-travel thing is just a joke. Yup, so brave.😆😝 Also, there are many Tagaloas, with different titles. Some with many titles, but sun god is not one of them. What would make me happy is that you just stick with what the elders say.
@@VikxDaNephite crybaby. 😆😆😆🤣🤣😂🤪🤪
Check Santos Bonacci - Astrotheology etc I believe you're on the right track.
THANK YOU so much for this Mack... I have only just got 43mins into his 'The Ancient Theology, Astrotheology Part 1' video and already SO MUCH is cogniting for me.... }:{ Li
"PULE- MELE'I" There is no such word in our Samoan language, such as "pulemele'i", that is why there is so much confusion over this issue. I heard this land (where pulemele'i is located) was bought by the Nelsons, and with the arrival of the non polynesians. The native (Samoans) heard them talking about the word PIRA-MID and I believe that is where the word pulemele'i came from: PULE= PIRA and MID=MELEI we do it all the time if you come to our islands with your name JACK we will change it to SIAKI, JOHN will be IOAGE and MOSES will be MOSE. I myself hunted wild boars, and wild cattle, in the 60s and 70s from Palauli/Satupa'itea Hights to Sili, Gataivai toTaga and Sala'ilua also Mt Silisili. And during those hunting time in the island of Savaii, we will always come across these mound of rocks, but the base size is smaller than confusion pulemele'i, but about the same hight (as I was told by some of the elders, the purpose of the hight of the mound is to get near the treetops, so the "tagata seulupe" (pigeon catcher) will be closer to the birds we call these mounds "KIASEU" (or tiaseu) Smaller ones looks like they were built for 2 or may be 5 people. There are words and proverbs can be trace back to these KIASEU: "kiaseu o kamali'i" "sopo le maguvale i kiaseu" "aua le seukafili le ga'a" "la'u lupe fa'alele" "lupe o le foaga" "lupe o malumaugu" "vae efu" Le seuga a Lefaoseu o Upolu ma Ulumu o Savai'i na afua ai le "gakia i vao ae puaiga i le ala" and so much more proverbs and words As a Samoan it is an insult to have an ousider come in dig up dirt and tell me where I come from, and explain me about my culture and my ancestors NO NO we are rich in proverbs, songs, and words we can trace our own past kusa lava pe kala lasi Samoa leave it alone aua pe fananau mai isi tupulaga a'oa'oina i Iugivesike, e koe fo'i lava i Savai'i kalage o koeaiiga makukua mo faamaklaga sa'o E leai gi alagaupu, leai gi pese, po'o gi upu o faamakala ai se PIRA-PULE MID-MELE"I E le valea uma fo'i kamaiki Savai'i
Interesting.
Why would the ancients have constructed a flat-top pyramid, aligned to the cardinal points and with stellar alignment, that effectively ‘floats’, to merely ‘catch pigeons’?
The elders’ version, words and proverbs about tiaseu mounds used to facilitate pigeon catching are certainly not disputed, however I would ask You to re-watch the video and to consider the question I have asked here.
Thank you for the perspective about the name ‘Pulemelei’ being a Samoanised (the Samoan equivalent of Anglicised) version of the word ‘pyramid’. I am definitely familiar with the concept (e.g. aisa kulimi / ice cream).
With respect, no one is trying to tell you and explain about your (and my) culture and ancestors, the geographical evidence and the land (the land is our ancestor too, not just people) speaks for itself.
I would also ask that if you want to make a point about leaving it alone and stupidity, please do so in English so your words are out in the open.
Fa’afetai tele lava
@@iamheartslight clearly, pigeons are no reason to build a huge thing like this. But maybe they built it for pankeki. haha. :D
some samoans tell me, this was built by samoans, others say, pyramid was alrdy here, when samoans came...
one thing I can tell you, at least 90 percent of samoans never heard of a pyramid in samoa. I found out. surprised me.
Melei is Malay, like Meleisea is Malaysia.
🙏🙏🙏
Where did the basalt come from? On island?
It is right next to a volcano...
But it's where u go during floods not a pyramid
