The Kaingaroa Rock Carvings - A Little Known Secret - Ancient New Zealand

The Kaingaroa Rock Carvings are on the walls of a hidden rock shelter in the Kaingaroa Forest. The trail leading to the rock carvings is unmarked and known only to a few, mostly locals.
The Kaingaroa Forest is on the Kaingaroa Plains between Rotorua and Murupara.
The artist(s) that carved the walls are unknown. When the site was discovered by the NZ State Forest Service in 1925, the Ngati Manawa people living in the area knew nothing of the rock shelter. They had been there for 12 generations, so it is possible that an earlier people carved them. Ngati Manawa had defeated Te Marangaranga, the previous inhabitants of the area, whom perhaps made the rock carvings, but there is no way to be sure it was them.
Some speculate that these rock carvings are evidence of New Zealand inhabitants that pre-date Maori. You can learn more about these theories by watching the following multipart documentaries on KZbin:

The circle of life motif is represented in many cultures. But the closest I’ve seen to those on one waka is on the Newgrange Celtic burial site in Ireland, which is 5000 years old.

I know these carvings are contentious to some Maori who believe they are tangata whenua. I've always thought it highly unlikely that this lush little country was uninhabited pre 1300 AD.

Sonar cameras detected a flat bed of rock below this wall that experts said was probably man made it was so straight and square. Intriguing eh?

Do you know of these? I've been there, it's incredibly difficult to get up to the glyphs - the only reason they were found recently is because a farmer's dog ran away and then started barking. The farmer followed the barks to a hole into a rock face and when he crawled in (me too and it requires a lot of energy and gymnastics! to get into the path behind) and climbed up the rockface he finally came upon this. There has been people discrediting it of course (1 theory a group of university students went in there in the 50s and made them - yeah right! how did they know where to go and where are the ladders they used to get up - the glyphs go up really high and what tools did they use??). Similar carvings to these NZ ones? The local aboriginals know where there are a lot more and which go further across the area. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onfbZmejequhapY

They won't be here or at the stone wall, because it clashes with Maori claims to be here first. Even though their own stories tell of two other groups of people here when they arrived. The Moriori are Polynesian, but the Patupaiarehe are the ones they don't want to acknowledge because, red or blond hair, blue or grey eyes and fair skin isn't the description of Polynesians.

The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC, 80 years before the Antikythera mechanism, and was called the _Vaticanus Graecus;_ Son of the Divine Serpent, a reference to Fomalhaut in Aquarius, the sign associated with John the Baptist, who was a Setian, the root word of Satan. Just as israel is the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra. In the Second Century AD Astrologer Vettori Valentinus used the _Vaticanus Graecus_ to construct a lunar zodiac of 13 months, this correlates to the 18.6/ 19 year Metonic Calendar, found in the earliest known ancient temples, the Bible, Antikythera mechanism, New Grange and the Bru na Boinne, the Chaldeans, Egyptians, Assyrians, Celts, Phoenicians, and inscribed into the Golden Enoch Horns of the Magi, the Galatian (Celtics of Galicia in iberia) Eunuch Druid Priests of Cybel, or Kythera, the "Great Mother", (who has 216 names) found in Germany and France. A Druid took 19 years to train, and the Phoenix was associated with 19 flames. These number sets and astrological associations are the same for Megalithic sites found all over the world, from Egypt to the Baltic, India, Ireland, America, and the Pacific, there is only one culture that could have accomplished such a feat, and like the celts it was obliterated from history in 146BC when Carthage was sacked _"not one stone upon the other"_ to the fall of Tyre in 70AD, after a 13 yr seige. Sound familiar? 146 plus 70 is 216. One Megalithic hour is 240 minutes, or 14,400 seconds (1/4) There are 6 Megalithic hours to the day, each made up of 6 minutes, each of which is 6 seconds long. If the Megalithic hour was divided into 60 minutes, each would be 1,440 of our seconds, times 100 is 144,000. One Megalithic second is 400 of our modern seconds, divided by 60 (to get minutes) is 6.6666666.... 360 ÷ 6.66 is 54 54 x 2 is 108 108 x 2 is 216 To effect this the hands on a clock count out 10 (units of 6) x 10 (units of 6) × 4 (=400 units of 6). Therefore the relationship of the Megalithic second to our current form is mathematically proportional to the ratio between the Sun and Moon. A Megalithic second is 6.66 minutes (400 seconds). A Megalithic Minute is 40 minutes, or 2,400 seconds. 6 x 6 x 6 x 400 = 86,400, the number of seconds in a day. This would mean a clock with 216 seconds would go around 40 times in a day (2160 x 400). This means 1 Megalithic second is 6.66 of our modern minutes, meaning their metric system is based on the Full Moon, of which 360 fit into to the night sky, and 720 will encircle the globe, divided by half gives us the 360 degree circle, and the basis for our present hexadecimal system of time. Which is why 1 degree of Arc on the Moon = 100 Megalithic Yards (2700ft). This means the Beast, the hidden hand of the Masonic fraternity, is the Moon; and Time. The white limestone covering of the Pyramids denotes the Pale Moon in Megalithic Ireland, like at New Grange, where Enoch describes a Crystal Palace illuminated by the Full Moon every 19 years. The Byblos Baal, or Book of Baal is the Phoenician Almanac, a coded book of Astrological cycles used by the Priest Class of Egypt; the Phoenicians, to navigate the oceans. Phoenicians, Celts, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians and Jews all started the new day at Dusk, and celebrated their New Year in September, the 7th month, the Sunsign of Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, associated with the healing Gods, and marked by the first New Moon in the 7th month after the start of the Zodiac in Easter, when Ophiuchus is the East Star at dawn. In September the East star at Dusk is Helel in Orion, (Helel means Shining One, associated with Lucifer) aka Osiris, aka Set, Lord of the Dead. Hence the Aleph, and the Zayim, Alpha and Omega. It's also the Birthday of Jesus, and when he said he would return, at the end of the Age during Rosh Hashanah. It's reversed to keep the code secret, and written in metaphor so no one could know what was contained therein. The Essenes studied the Mysteries of Pythagoras. His name means Heart (Bel) of the Serpent. The star Alphard is at the heart of Hydra, and is known as the Vermillion Phoenix in China. The cycle of the Phoenix encodes the astrological calendar by which they removed 3 days every 630 years. This was expressed in a Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 216 by 630 by 666. This star appeared on the Eastern Horizon on the Winter Soltice.. 6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter, the solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of the Hebrew God, Just as Solomon has 36 or 72 scrolls, and Muhammed speaks of 72 sects. The Dionysian Masonic Architects of Solomon's Temple also used hexadactyl poetry, perhaps expressing the 12 mathematical constants also found within the Great Pyramid, themselves, and memorized as allegories. Dionysus worship arose at the same time as Arkenaten's cult of Atum. Arkenaten was born Amunhotep IV, his father's name translates to Hermes Trismegistus, or Amunhotep III, as Amunhotep means "Happy is the Moon" a reference to the New Moon. Enoch and Hermes Trismegistus are the same character, placing his Emerald Tablets/ Scrolls in the Ark of Amun, and burying them under Pillars of Emerald and Gold, the only Temple that matches this is the Temple of Melqart in Tyre, which means Rock, and sat just offshore from Urshu Shalom, City of Peace, or City of the New Moon, root of the name Jerusalem. Methuselah lives 969 years; the number of days between Black Moons. These Magi were known as the Horoscopoi, Watchers of the Hour, Hour being related to Horus, the Son of the Dragon, or Dawn/Dusk. A rising star is Masculine, and a setting one feminine, Atum, and Evening, being androgynous at the Zenith, and responsible for what happens on Earth at the time. So the Sun and Moon and their Metonic Calendar bring Order out of Chaos, the Ancients also saw stars as eyes, hence Ezekiel's vision is a representation of the Zodiac, or Mazzaroth in Hebrew, and the strange descriptions of Angels... Daemons being the stars of winter, or the Underworld ie; Invernos. In fact the Sun and Moon were seen as the Left and Right Eyes of Horus. Hebrew and Iber as in Iberia also have the same root, meaning over, as in over seas. Anglo comes from Ankh, meaning Angle, or to bend, perhaps denoting around the corner, as Plato describes Atlantis being beyond the Pillars of Hercules, being the same Pillars of Solomon, or Melqart, the Gates of Gibralter, or Gabriel's Alter, due West from Tyre, the direction of the rising New Moon. The Christian Cross derives from the Cross of Baal, the Phoenician Sun God, their Almanac, and secret to navigating by the stars was preserved in the Byblos Baal, the book we now call the Bible. All mythology is based on the transit of stars through the seasons, and even today in India and New Zealand, at opposite ends of the earth, they celebrate the Summer and Winter Soltices based on the appearance of Pleaides, seen as a bird, sitting at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The famous Hummingbird of Nasca is a representation of Pleaides, used by navigators to find land in the Pacific, also the Phoenician Princess Europa rode the Bull of Taurus just as Pleaides, Paris too is derived from Par Bull and Isii isis, being founded by Celts around 500BC. Pleaides sits at 33 degrees on the Zodiac, Ophiuchus is at 216 degrees So the Arc of the Covenant, the Garden of Eden, Troy, are metaphors for the Square of Pegasus, Typhon, aka Ladon, aka Tphens or Jorgumandr, are Gaia, or Hydra, the 100 headed, which takes up 100 degrees of the Zodiac. Hence the Son of the Dragon Adonis denotes both the first star at night, and Fomalhaut in Aquarius, shaped like an eye, the Sign of John the Baptist, a Setian, the root word of Saturn, or Satan, appearing on the Eastern Horizon on the Summer Solstice, the Day of the Pharoah, Osiris' Crowley and Trump's birthday, which was on a Super Wolf Blood Moon. The Pheonician God of Healing was Eschmun, his Egyptian Sarcophagus found in Sidon (means fish :the Phoenician Symbol for which is *X* hence Xmas) is inscribed with a short poem, the longest unbroken piece of Phoenician language we have, in which Eschmun, whose Temples were built over hot water springs, was known as the *_Scion of the Widow_* (Isis). His symbol is the Caduceus, the Serpent Staff of Asclepius, which can be found in the hands of Hercules, at 210 degrees. Around the staff is Cerberus, the 3 headed Serpent and guardian of the entry to the underworld. The same symbol you see on the side of medical vehicles; the Winged Serpent. Sidon is also where Jezebel daughter of Hiram and wife of Solomon came from, as well as Pythagoras. This points a lot of fingers at Rameses II being King Ahaz, King of Tyre, Regent of israel, aka Solomon, who built the Temple of Melqart to mark his alliance with Hiram Abiff, King of Assyria, creating the Neo Assyrian Empire in 911BC

I don't understand why some Moari people try to stick to there stories they were the first here 800 to 900 years ago when it's very clear people were here earlier. And these people's would have mingled with the pacific people's so there blood will be in the Moari and there claims to the land is way older than they are claiming, I feel buy denying a part of your ancestors you are denying your self .so cultic people's may are got ship recked or lost in New Zealand and passed on knowledge, had families and became part of the country, my gest there was not many a few ships here and there but there skills and knowledge live on with there bloodlines. Most of the white people's were more likely to have came from Easter island as is recorded in accent Moari song and these people's arrival was around 2000 years ago .There is evidence 5hese people lived throughout the pacific and finally disappeared once European arrived and they couldn't handle European diseases as they were 1000s of years removed. The HMS DOLPHIN recorded 10 to 15 percent white people's in Tahiti two years later when captain Cook arrived in Tahiti most were gone .died not long after the Dolphin left .the rest were probably bread out or married white setlers and the information of who there grandma's were was lost with time ,5his happened in my family and I only found out from my grandmother on her death bed .

🤣🤣😅👎Zero evidence but good yarn

Calling bullshit on this. Old glow-worm caves that were defaced by artists, it's graffiti. Maori are known for their amazing art, but not petroglyphs. If they were that important ( real ), archaeology would have been all over them, local iwi would have claimed them and treat them as taonga. Peel some of that moss away, it wouldn't take an archaeologist with dating techniques to see that they are recent-as in decades old at the most..Not gonna downvote though, because they are interesting, but I know glow-worm sites when I see them. DOC put up the barriers to protect glow-worms-not the " carvings " All the conspiracy theories below, all the uneducated guesses below-with their various theories, doesn't change the fact that these " carvings " are not old at all.

Hi Jason, thanks for you’re comment. They’re more than decades old because they were discovered almost a century ago. The barrier was put up to prevent the more recent graffiti that was being added to it. The sign that is there behind the barrier covers a lot of detail about their discovery but makes no mention of glow-worms. You’re correct that local iwi have not claimed it, when asked, they knew nothing of it, when it was discovered by two employees of the State Forestry Service. Here is a photograph from a 1925 newspaper - www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/dbtw-wpd/exec/dbtwpub.dll?BU=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aucklandcity.govt.nz%2Fdbtw-wpd%2FHeritageImages%2Findex.htm&AC=QBE_QUERY&TN=heritageimages&QF0=ID&NP=2&RF=HIORecordSearch&MR=5&QI0=%3D%22AWNS-19251008-50-5%22
