No artifacts from South America in the South Pacific? What about Ahu Vinapu in Rapa Nui? It is an example of Inca stone work in Rapa Nui.

Why did they sail?
When everything was created at the beginning of time, the Creator sent E-rua-i-te-arai to go and look for new lands. So when they went to sail, they were participating in the creation of things.

It is correct, exploring was a way for social advancement. Te Agiagi told his older brothers, "I fear the shadow of your digging sticks."

It looks like, that Aborigin-Melanesian people discovered S-America first, around 20.000 years ago - long before Paleo-Indians from Siberia arrived. The oldest skulls in S-America are negroid and not mongolian - scientists believe they came by watercrafts to the west of S-America. Some thousend years they lived in peace, untill the first Indians came (9000ya) All younger skulls are mongoloid. Only in S-America was the early black race, after they disappeared.
Sealevel was round 100 m deeper.

First Modern Humans arrived in South East Asia around 70.000 ya. During the iceage the sealevel was 100 m deeper as today - New Guinea and Australia were connected - nevertheless they had to cross some hundrets of miles on sea to discover Australia - this was around 65.000 years ago. Also Melanesia was peopled in the stone or iceage. If people crossed the Pacific in the iceage, we have no evidences, but scientists hardly believe in it, found the islands by accident, probably S-America.

Ixtulu the most fun thing to call a racist is a "MUT" lol . usually they're under the impression they come from some other distant pure gene pool lol- obviously you've picked up some mid- 1900's material, mixed with your personal theory-
