Regarding the Te Papa Helmet, it could have been embedded in anaerobic ( no oxygen) mud in the Hutt River until it was dislodged by a flood then it was rolled into the harbour where it was dredged up.

What about Aranga up north....Named after the Spanish ship that crashed there...We were told the old hall was made out of the ship...plus the Chinese junks that are found in the sand dunes around from pouto point... much bigger ship bones still in the sand we see now and then on our beaches and ships still in mud in Dargaville....

The Spanish arrived at Tahiti before Cook. Cook showed Tupia a book of all the European flags and asked him if any other ships displayed these flags before the British one. Tupia immediately without hesitation pointed at the Spanish flag in the book. Whether the Spanish or Portugese made it to NZ before Tasman, insufficient evidence at this time.

The 220 metre high Wave is from the Burkle Asteriod Impact off the Coast of South America. It covered extensively by Oz Geographics. The 220 metre High wave deposited sand Called Chevrons across the Australian Coasts. The Lagest deposit being Farewell Spit. Everything is about Geoplogy and Environmental Impacts. Jeremy Penrice.

I had read the helmet and cannon ball were likely Portuguese..possibly from Mendonsa in 1520 or such? .a book by Peter Trickett. There is a 550 odd year old stone stockade on the far south Coast of NSW.. enjoying the stories lads.

Those massive nails they used was interesting,and penned over both ends like a rivet! One thing for certain the Spaniards would have made the poms look like choir boys if they had established...

If modern politics will hide the past at all lengths, one must ask, what of the present is being hidden at all costs?

I would not be surprised if European and Chinese visitors came to NZ but I doubt they interacted with Maori mainly because Maori are a smart and fast adopters of technology and they lack at least 2 technologies that would be so useful to them that Spanish and Chinese would have known. Firstly archery and secondly pottery both ideal for catching and cooking birds and fish.

Marrian du Fresne was in northland at the same time as cook (2nd voyage I think) they passed each other in a storm. Du Fresnes' journey started in Ceylon and his journey ended in hangi in the bay of islands and or the Hokianga.

The boulder have gotten so much smaller just in my life time... if you want to see them, do it sooner rather than later!

According to legend, the moraki boulders were anchors left behind by the supposed 1421 Chinese expedition.
