SUPPOSED GREEK AND HEBREW RESEMBLANCES OF ANCIENT HAWAIIANS

[Nikas777]

WITH A PUEFACE BY THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.

' And the august abode from whence they came.'

Speculations as to an Eastern emigration are scarcely more than glanced at here; and it may appear almost superfluous to refer to two groundless hypotheses which have been formed—the first, that Greek remains have been discovered in South America, and that faint vestiges of Greece are also traceable in the islands of Hawaii. The other supposition is that of the Hawaiian race being of Hebrew origin, and that these islanders represent the lost tribes of the house of Israel.

Oh, I thought she meant Greek Hybrids in Hawaii. My mistake.

[Nikas777]

One source of early confusion was a widespread popular notion that only Cohens or only Jews could have the Cohen Modal Haplotype (like was found amongst the Lemba). It is now clear that this is not the case. The Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH), whilst notably frequent amongst Cohens, is also far from unusual in the general populations of haplogroups J1 and J2 with no particular link to the Cohen ancestry. These haplogroups occur widely throughout the Middle East and beyond [8],[9]. So whilst many Cohens have haplotypes close to the CMH, a greater number of such haplotypes worldwide belong to people with no likely Cohen connection at all.

I was talking about the plot of this Magnum PI episode.

Greeks in Hawaii. Only Magnum helped prove that it wasn’t Greeks, but independent development of the Polynesian culture.

You had to be there. Tom Selleck was terrifyingly gorgeous around 1981 ...

Just jacking with ya. You will find that i’m seldom serious about ancient stuff and the bushwa that ‘experts’ put out.

Sunken civ and I do a lot of puns and other stupid stuff so its safe to ignore me most of the time.

Politics is somethine else.

No there is no “proof” of where hawaiians came from just like theres no proof where maori (new zealand) came from etc. in truth no polyneisans are originally from where they are now.. all polynesian ethnicities have stories of navigation to their final destination from another place, and most of those stories give the same name as the navigator.. Hawai’i iki / havaiki etc. (hawai’i was named after said navigator). the only polynesians with no back story of travel from some place else is samoans which leads many to believe that all polynesians originated from samoa. theres also supposed “proof” although its bogus as far as im concerned about DNA and tracing polynesians back to parts of asia. These tests should be ignored because A.) supposedly the people tested didnt verify they were of full blooded polynesian descent. B.) theres evidence to suggest that cook wasnt the first to “find” hawaii and infact spanish had found it hundreds of years previous and through their travels people not of polynesian descent ie: asians & hispanics etc ethnicity were left (by choice or otherwise) on various islands throughout polynesia and eventually had offspring with the polynesians living on those islands, which throws the DNA testing off quite a bit as you can imagine.
