The First Men to Cross the Oceans | Setting Sail (Sailing Documentary) | Timeline
This is the story of the world’s first blue water sailors: the Austronesians and Polynesians who conquered the largest ocean on the planet. Their story begins in Southeast Asia more than 5,000 years ago, when the Austronesians began an eastward thrust into the Pacific.
From Indonesia they headed East, reaching Papua New Guinea, the Solomon…

“We don’t know how they transverse this wide spread of water, much is speculation..” have we tried asking them?? 🤔🤔
There is NO RECORD of this whatsoever. They have NO WRITTEN LANGUAGE. It is only heresay, and we ALL know how word of mouth information MORPHS by the minute, much less over "hundreds of years".
That damn background music drowns out the narration.
It’s from the film ‘much ado about nothing’? The score ? Kenneth Branagh film? Emma Thompson was in it too. I enjoyed the film, riddled with fickle attitudes but very enjoyable. I’ll have to watch it again.
The background music here is just so good, soothing yet stirring. A fascinating vid. I have enjoyed it. Thank you.
what about me im polymelamicronesian can we all jus get along and focus our attention on the fact that we got these whit ppl telling our stories and putting theyre twist and lies and then sit back and watch us going at it to each others necks instead of accepting the fact that were here now and were all the same and 1 jus divided by water.
Now all the people, cough cough… palagi people that don’t know shxt about poly history will watch these type of videos and believe they know everything lol
I think it's important to acknowledge that the men would have been accompanied by women and probably children and all would have played their part in the voyages.
No voyage would have been successful without the women.
First blue water sailors..??? Before vikings
Or you don't know the real history or you don't want the people to know the real history of the world
Or you just want to take money from advertising
What about Hercules…………..
One thing I’ve noticed about a lot of these historical docs posted on YouTube is that the background music seems way louder than it should be, often almost drowning out the narration. Has anyone else noticed that?
You perpetuate a myth that the ancient Rapa Nui caused deforestation to clear farmland. Newer evidence suggests that it was the polynesian rat they brought along for food that caused the deforestation
Remember how in the early days of motion pictures, the whites played all the characters? Well, only this time it's not Holly Wood, it's real life here. These so-called natives don't look like their ancestors.
Seems like the first "Polynesians" is the mix of Asians and aborigines of the south pacific. The first "Polynesians" = Tonga 🇹🇴
13:00 Consider for a moment the "bird's" part in early oceanic exploration. Can you think of an island that does not host birds? A large percentage of them migratory. Imagine the world, back a few thousand years, standing on the shores, skies inhabited by literally billions upon billions of birds coming and going. Their trackways clearly etched in the sky and increasingly into people's minds: Where are they going? Year after year,, generation after generation, always teasing and challenging the observant thoughtful restless youth of the day. Stories started. The wonder grew into curiosity, into obsession. I must find out! Understanding how to read weather and ocean patterns, mastering boat building, simply obstacles, means to end. I must know what is out there.
This doc was amazing. But definitely would of been better with more maps to help us keep up!
The shows on this channel all have Anglo-Saxon racist undertones. The only thing Europeans were better at than other peoples were colonization, theft, and genocide.
Amazing information Educative
why are the Europeens always taking the credit away from the Kushites of Ethiopia? Kushites taught the Phoenicians how to navigate the ocean, its like this channel have not studied Count Volney's, Ruins Of Empire before, cmon man stop this colonization of peoples imagination, we have been colonized for too long, i am reading European masterpiece's so i could lead my people out of ignorance, my mother is from the South Pacific Island and i have nothing but love for da Island peeps, but the ancient Kushite empire of Ethiopia were the first to plow the the bodies of water in the world, Rawlinson, Champolion, Count Volney are great scholars, i dont think you and your crew are more intelligent than these names i mentioned.
its like that book not out of Afrika by mary Leftconwich, funded by the racist outfit.

As a Polynesian of Samoan heritage I was always told that Samoa was the birth place of Polynesia. Hawaii was named after Savai'i. The largest Island in the Samoan chain. Upolu a small village on the Big Island of Hawai'i was named after Upolu the most populated Island in Samoa. King Kamehameha was born in this village and Hawaii's last King Kalakaua wrote that Kamehameha was of Samoan decent. I'll always believe Samoa was the cradle of Polynesia.
It is much more safe to sail against the current and the wind!
As of 2013-15, members of Polynesian Voyaging Society(PVS) embarked on circumnavigation of Mother Earth, sailing first to American Samoa/Tahiti then continuing W to Marianas, Korean peninsula, SE Asia, Indonesia, India, E Africa, RSA, etc., etc. Then up/down Canadian/U.S. Eastern seaboard. More detailed/extensive video logs can be found on Timeline, PVS & other various news outlets
but with spirit learning THE SPIRIT doesn't lie eventually it will show itself
men learning they only can go by what they see
nothing wrong with that method it's fine when it happens currently at that moment but you can't do that with the past history of someone because you don't have all the pieces
like for instance in a court case to prove your innocent YOU BETTER HAVE ALL ACCOUNTS
IN ORDER IF NOT JAIL YOU'LL GO…
that's why spiritual learning it's better than what men say about my people, which the Polynesian people
because of the bias of men, much of the history of these people history is still unknown
How could they set sail and move into that vast ocean w/o knowing if they were to find land or an island before starving ?
Robert Adrian Langdon introduces the theory that the European features of the Polinesians not only physically but culturally are the direct influence of the descendants of the seafaring people of the San Lesmes Caravel, stranded at one of the many atolls in 1526. No other European vessel has been registered to have entered the Pacific since then. 250 years before Cook's arrival, approximately 20 generations, had been passed down genes and dexterities, from catamaran building and sailing, to agriculture, animal farming, astronomy, gastronomy, theatricals and attire. The book is called "The Lost Caravel" however in order to align with the British being the first to have arrived in Pacific, this theory has been silenced and swept under the carpet, coming up with ever ridiculous ideas such as descending from Taiwan or the Incas.
