C'est incroyable ce qu'il dit, la technicité que les polynésiens peuvent avoir, combien de voyage il a fallu entre Tahiti et Hawaii pour savoir ça à l'époque de la conquête des îles ?

Southern Cross = Mau Na.Kea

Asians trying to steal Polynesian navigation lol

[@cczook4419]

Maybe you need to do some research on where Polynesians came from.

[@qusmc4058]

Yet these guys were taught by Micronesians such as the great Mau piailug. We the Chamorros in the Marianas were the first to settle remote oceania 5000 years ago

[@raulmenedez2427]

@Q USMC keep dreaming buddy 🤣🤣 POLYNESIANS navigated the BIGGEST ocean in the entire world, and here you are, just on the outskirts trying to steal their culture, identity and history 😂
