I found it disturbingly inaccurate. Lies lies and more lies and a creative imagination.

So the ancient Caucasians from Spain settled in the Americas 18,000-13,000 years ago? Then they ruled over the Polynesians?

Peter Marsh is a joke. Not a single respected scientist in Polynesian Studies(or any studies) subscribes to this looney.

I stopped at Thor Heyerdahl, I already knew it was a joke

This is the most accepted theory of Polynesian origins and migration.
Starting with the East Coast of China then moving Easterly across the Pacific.

I usually like hard core scientific explanations, but in explaining the evolution of the kanaka maoli, I very much prefer the Kumulipo! It's a geneology befitting a very special people.
