🛶⛵Polynesian Voyagers/Polynesian Wayfinders⛵🛶
These are facts that I have learnt according to the topic “Polynesian Voyagers or Polynesian Wayfinders”.
_____________________________________________________________________
Polynesia is 160 million square kilometres. Polynesia is known to be bigger than Russia.
Early Polynesians eventually settled a vast area of islands spread over 40 million square kilometres of the pacific ocean.
Their voyagers began voyaging around 1500 B.C. when the people who had settled Polynesia first set sail from South East Asia.
Ancient Polynesians used the sun, moon, stars, planets, ocean currents and clouds as guides.
Voyagers became less frequent by around 1300 A.D. as Polynesian societies became more rooted in specific locations.
