Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of language and mythology to uncover a compelling theory: the Maori people of New Zealand are descended from the ancient Aryans. The author skillfully weaves together linguistic analysis and ancient folklore to argue that the Maori language contains remnants of a long-lost Aryan tongue, preserved in surprising purity. The reader is taken on a journey through the roots of words, tracing their origins from Sanskrit to Maori, Greek, and Latin. This book goes beyond mere word comparisons, exploring the cultural and historical implications of this linguistic link. The author examines Maori myths and traditions, finding echoes of ancient Aryan beliefs and practices, suggesting a connection to the broader Indo-European cultural sphere that extends far beyond language. This book provides a unique perspective on the origins of the Maori people, challenging traditional notions and offering a new understanding of their place within the global tapestry of human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330387467_0
