The African Origins of the Maori by Gerald Massey is a book that explores the possible African origins of the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori. The author argues that the Maori people are descendants of an ancient African civilization and that their culture, language, and physical characteristics are evidence of this connection. Massey draws on historical and linguistic evidence to support his theory, as well as the oral traditions of the Maori people themselves. He also discusses the impact of European colonization on the Maori people and their culture. Overall, The African Origins of the Maori is a thought-provoking and controversial book that challenges conventional ideas about the origins of the Maori people and their place in the world.THIS 70 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Book of the Beginnings Part 2, by Gerald Massey.
