Scara-Brae type town
A town of dwellings similar to the typical Scara-Brae variety, but in NZ!? Houses were constructed from stone walls and stone roofs. Over these an overburden of rock, soil and grass was placed. This provided protection from the weather, grazing for stock, and camouflage from the cannibals that grew to power at a much later stage after establishment of the community.

There's also at least one megalithic site (standing stones) in Malaysia.

As a Kiwi, I'd love to believe in these theories for the sheer romance of it, but their evidence never stacks up...or they won't show the locations of their discoveries to Kiwi archaeologists...and the finds always seem to be made by people of the ethnic group they're claiming were here first.

There is one politician who believes in all this, but she's kind of flaky and her minders won't allow her to comment on it publicly.
