MAUI, THE GREAT ANUNNAKI NAVIGATOR, BROUGHT THE MAORI TO NEW ZEALAND, WHERE CAUCASIAN GIANTS FROM EASTER ISLAND, POLYNESIAN VOYAGERS FROM SE CHINA PRECEDED THEM

The Wisdom-Keeper of New Zealand’s South Island, writes Freddy Silva, shared the memorized and preserved history of the Waitaha. The Waitaha’s ancestors, he said, arrived in New Zealand from southeast China. There were giants on both the North and South Islands. The giants ran from 11 to 24 feet tall.

The Ancestor: KIWA CAME TO EASTER ISLAND FROM THE EAST

After the Deluge, light-colored, light-skinned people, led by a fair-skinned, blue-eyed, red-haired Anunnaki man called KIWA, mapped the land that survived the Flood.

The Ancestress: HOTU MATU’A, CAME TO EASTER ISLAND FROM THE WEST

Hotu Matu’a married Kiwa. They & their 10 children together mapped the post-flood Pacific — a region vastly changed by the floodwaters.

MAUI, Grandson Of Kiwa & Hotu Matu’a, FOUND NEW ZEALAND

**MAUI STUDIED THE STARS. As a youth,** **Maui sat with his grandmothers around a sacred fire, studying the constellations.** **He memorized oral traditions “from a time long ago, when the stars shone in a different sky and a different pattern.**

He learned about the two great oceans that made up the world. He mastered navigating the great currents. He mapped the stars that guide seafarers across vast, truculent seas.

The Hawaiian tale of Maui capturing the Sun is a Polynesian allusion to his astro-navigational knowledge, as is the Maori tale of Maui fishing the South Island as a giant fish from the sea.

Maui’s MISSION, according to Silva: sail “the dangerous currents of the central Pacific and FIND NEW ZEALAND– land said to be protected by the old tides– the ‘Birthplace of the Gods’ in the Pacific.

THE GODS’ BIRTHPLACE

**MAUI NAVIGATED THE PACIFIC** **His crew rowed with discipline as waves rose and they mastered the currents.**

“Sailing his great double-hulled canoe westward along the north current, Maui and his crew survived mountainous seas, connected with the southern current, and arrived at the mist-covered NORTH ISLAND of New Zealand.” After stocking up on provisions, Maui navigated down North Island’s east coast, seeking Aotea Roa–the eroded peninsula of Onawe [east of modern Christchurch]. He sent scouts along the Waimakariri River to find Kura Tawhiti, “The Gods’ Birthplace.

“When the scouts returned, Maui led 12 men and 12 women on the two-day journey along the Waimakariri to the Pukega hills and found “the soaring towers of stones that marked the Birthplace of the Gods and a calendar of stone sight-lines, similar to Adam’s Calendar in South Africa, the Giza complex’s calendrical alignment in Egypt, and Serpent Mound in Ohio.

**MAUI FOUND THE ANUNNAKI GODS’ BIRTHPLACE – KURA TAWHITI, the towering limestone megaliths of Castle Hill. His crew aligned staffs to the Southern Cross constellation.** “The main site here, called Kura Tawhiti (Castle Hill), at 3000 feet elevation, created 2 groups of freestanding megaliths (menhirs). Two adjacent sites complete the Birthplace of the Gods: Flock Hill and Prebble Hill (Collectively called Kura Tawhiti, the Sacred Nest). Kura Tawhiti, topped by a 50-foot high Monolith, the Marotini, became both a shamanic academy and a portal from which human consciousness could connect with the star-groups from which Earthlings came.”

The Gods’ Birthplace “was a place of great learning, an ancient academy. The stone lines pointed to the Southern Cross constellation at the spring equinox and the winter solstice.

Understanding the position of the stars, it is possible to predict the behavior of the oceans, making long sea voyages possible.”

MAUI’S FINAL VOYAGE

“Maui asked a group of families to stay behind and establish a home on the North Island. The Waitaha left the North Island for Maui’s Māori and migrated to the South Island.

“Maui set sail to return to Easter Island, but his canoe vanished somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.” [Missing Lands: 35-56].
