Professor Nors S. Josephon, provides us with an 8- year long linguistic study which proves the connection between ancient Greeks and a number of Polynesian civilizations. Josephson traveled to Polynesia and gathered many dictionaries and word lists of Polynesian languages, as he was curious to discover why local languages include words of non-Polynesian origin.
According to Josephson, the Greeks who colonized eastern Polynesia, probably originated from what is modern Peru and Bolivia, as the culture of Easter Islands has had numerous similarities to those areas during the pre-Incan era. These Greek-speaking inhabitants were speaking ancient Greek, and also brought an ancient Greek culture, which is reminiscent of Cyprus and the Cyclades islands, including Naxos and Melos over the same period.
In his book “Greek Lingustics in the Polynesian Languages (Hellenicum Pacificum)” the professor provides solid proof of a connection between ancient Greeks and Polynesian civilizations. Josephson studied a number of Polynesian languages and was able to find concordances with Greek in the following languages (listed in descending order from “highest” to “lowest” total of concordances):
El: Easter Island
Ma: Maori
Mo: Moriori
Hw: Hawaii
Tu: Tuamotus
Rp: Rapa Iti
Th: Tahiti
Ra: Rarotonga
Mg: Mangaia
Mv: Mangareva
Mq: Marquesas
Sa: Samoa
To: Tonga

These few linguistic similarities and hundreds more cannot be a coincidence. Ancient Greeks had the technology to travel to faraway places. We have records and proof that they travelled to North and South America, India and China, Africa and the North of Europe (including Scandinavia). There is nothing that could have stopped the Greeks from taking a step further, in order to develop trade and cultural relationships with indigenous populations and colonise and migrate Polynesia.
This is exciting information. Why are these elements of world history demonstrating the common origins of civilizations not common knowledge and taught at schools around the world?
