Good Lifestyle

We have all been a few holidays in part of our life. We forget the moment we set our foot where we know we do not have to worry about anything. And Hawaii is such a place that has magnificent, unique and incredible beaches. But this story is not here on the Hawaiian beaches, but on the discovery that has been made by these two men who have left their running schedule behind Texas to enjoy the beautiful sunsets on the beaches of Hawaii. Few know that their simple vacations would turn into the most amazing adventure that would change their lives forever. The discovery has stayed hidden for more than 400 years, only to be exposed by these two men accidentally. What was the discovery? You will discover soon ...

The Hawaiian archipelago

Hawaii became the state of the United States in August 1959. As part of the American territory, it is the only state of North America located in Oceania, the northernmost island of Polynesia. Hawaii State is a group of islands called Ni'ihau, Kaua'i, O'Ahu, Moloka'i, Lāna'i, Kaho'olawe, Maui and Hawai'i. Hawaii is the most popular island of all places where last year 9.3 million visited the island. But the most interesting part is that none of them saw what these two men spotted that day.

Aka la big island

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii and currently about 1 million people live in the city. It is the natural landscape that makes it one of the most popular places in the world. The atmosphere, the huge number of beautiful beaches and of course, active volcanoes make this place a perfect tourist place. And the culture of America, East Asia and Hawaiian make the multicultural state.

The first settlers

Hawaii was named after Hawai'iloa, a famous navigator and legendary fisherman. It was he who discovered the islands in 300 after JC, even before colonial America was instituted. According to archaeological studies, during the 14th-century immigrants of Raiatea and Bora Bora were the first to score on the islands, long before the English diverted to North America.

Then came more

Some historians say that because of the constant arrival of immigrants and people from Tahiti around 1000 years, the culture and originality of the island have seen a major change in everything. The Tahiti people introduced the KAPU system. It is the old legal system and the code of conduct of the Hawaiian people. They also built several large structures of Heiac, the famous Hawaiian temples.

Arrival European and Asian

In 1778, Captain James Cook, a famous British explorer, walked on the islands. He documented his entire journey. There are scientists who believe that before Cook arrived on the islands, Spanish explorers have already explored the islands about 200 years before him, but there is no evidence of that. The only thing that counts now was this amazing discovery that changed everything in the past.

Same time, same place

The Chinese arrived the same year as the English explorers. And throughout the 19th century, Japanese also entered the islands. This is the reason for the dominant Asian culture in this part of the island of the people rather than the European and indigenous Indian culture. In fact, the majority of the population is recognized as Asian. Now, let's go to the island where this discovery has been made.

Oahu Island

Oahu aka "The rally place" is the third largest island of Hawaii. Nearly one million people reside here on this beautiful and mysterious island. There are two volcanoes in Oahu, the ranges of Wai'anae and Ko'olau who curl the islands. And without a doubt, these are the places you need to visit once in your life. Tourists can enjoy the sight of beautiful volcanoes, but historians can learn interesting things about Hawaiian history. Hidden history for 400 years was now in front of the world.

The first regulation

According to archaeological evidence, the first population that has settled here around 300 arrived from Bora Bora island which then established the Kingdon of O'Ahu. They think they are the oldest leaders in the history of Hawaiian. But recently, two tourists have discovered a hidden secret of the age of the Oahu who has changed the way of the history of the island. What's the secret? You will discover soon.

Texas

Mark Louviere and Lonnie wanted to leave Texas for a few days so that they could enjoy a quality duration. We all need a vacation. When we decide a place we want to explore, we start preparing it for a few months. Mark and Lonnie loved Hawaii. They knew what a beautiful place is and when they had a chance, they did not let the opportunity and the moment they were on a plane in Hawaii.

What would everything we do?

Although they are in Hawaii before, this time, they wanted to explore the islands they missed last time. You can imagine the craze about this place that returned them again. There are so many things to do there that the holidays are not enough to completely explore the place to the maximum. Excited holidays they have assured that they are missing any pleasure. But who could have thought there was a reason behind the Hawaiian call?

Two normal tourists

It was in 2016, Mark and Lonnie decided to pause their hectic schedule in Hawaii. They have already been present before, they knew a lot about the place and places where they can visit some leisure time. But rather than staying in a sumptuous area, they decided to stay in the city of Waiana, at the west coast of Oahu.

Why the city?

They chose the Polynesian zone because of the beautiful weather conditions of the city, clear and fresh waters of the beaches and the unique culture of the islands. Last time, they missed this city when they were here in Hawaii. So when they planned their next vacation, it was Hawaii again, but this time they chose a different place that would make their travel more memorable. But few knew that after this amazing discovery, they will soon become the history of the island.

Accidental discoverers

For Mike and Lonnie, it was the first time they visited Oahu. Thus, the two men are looking forward to exploring the place and make the most of the trip. They wanted to visit as many famous points on the island as possible. One day, during their holidays, they enjoyed the sunset at the beach when they spotted something to the beach. Confused and intrigued, they got closer to that ...

One step forward

The sun quickly fell a radius of light changed fate forever. Something unusual was there on the sand. Mike and Lonnie had no idea what they were watching. But it was something they did not see in all their lives. They got closer to the coast where the water had just reveal something to them. Everything stopped for a moment. Two strangers from different parts of the world were standing up and looked at their destiny that was about to change very soon.

To take a picture

Mike and Lonnie captured some of the images of the discovery they just made on the sea just before sunset. They felt lucky because if they would go to the same place about 10 or 15 minutes later, they could not have seen it because of the sunset. But possibly, it is their destiny to find the most amazing discovery of the century.

The next day

Mike and Lonnie were again on the same place where they discovered something on the sand. While waiting for the waters to illuminate the area they waited for a little time. After a while, they watched the same petroglyph that was carved in rocks. The rocks were located next to the coast. The view was just beautiful that Mike and Lonnie have never seen anything in all their lives. But what was the meaning of all this? They were not expert but they wanted to know more about the discovery.

A stroke of luck

The two men have understood how lucky they were that this incredible discovery was made by them. They were there at the right time in the right place. It is their destiny to identify these old sculptures when every day many of the tourists pass the same place as these, but no one else has spotted it except these two. So what was the discovery? What does it mean? They wanted to know.

Luck was on their side

Once the discovery has been made public, many tourists and local populations have been stunned to know that it had never seen these strange numbers before. Even regular visitors to the beach or local population who worked in the region have never seen these numbers. Mike and Lonnie told the Hawaiian station, "It was just a stroke of luck!". But what was this discoveryall In regards to? What did these sculptures mean?

Incredible numbers

The two men closely looked at the sculptures and found that there were more than 10 sculpted human figures in stones greater than 5 feet each. They informed the local authorities of the discovery because they were no expert on this subject. Although they knew these numbers mean something, but they had to know more about it and only experts could say what they were.

Unique figures

These numbers are very unique around the world and most of them could be spotted in the eastern islands of Polynesia. Until the full investigation was not made, no one could say what these numbers meant and who did them and when. The experts were called to take a look at the numbers, then they told an incredible story about Hawaii's past and who did them.

Good thing to do

Rather than doing a hype on the discovery Mike and Lonnie were smart enough to inform local authorities because the tourists don"T to act in such a way that they call the authorities, however, there have been cases where tourists have damaged such archaeological sites.By touching them, walk or fly certain parts to keep them as souvenirs. Fortunately, the two men did the right thing at the end.

The authorities came

Cases where archaeological discoveries are involved, some protocols must follow certain protocols before you can say something concrete about the project. First, the State Historical Preservation Division inspects the region and its decision to conclude whether the site is even an archaeological site or a false. And because of this, each country has a historical preservation division of the official state for such cases.

After hours of inspection

The historical preservation division of the state and the US military were on the Waianae site where they worked together to explore the discovery maximum. And they concluded that, yes, it was indeed an archaeological site not being 10 but with more than 17 petroglyphs. You simply can not ignore the fact that no one before Mike and Lonnie has spotted them because there may be a possibility that they had already seen them but did not care to inform the authorities.

An important discovery

Some archaeological sites are counters and meters under the sea. But these petroglyphs were shore and incredibly, the majority of them were in a very good condition. It is not every day that archaeologists make such a discovery that gives them more information about the past. Surely, this discovery would take them a little closer to Hawaiian history!

Single case

The archaeologist of the American army Alton Exzabeand local resident of Waianae the two were sure it was definitely aUnique case in the worldBecause generally, petroglyphsare well preserved in the areas to which they are identified. And during the era of the investigation, other archaeologists declared the same thing. Etc,The eastern coast of Waiana has become an archaeological research center.

Many people have seen them

Alton Exzabe said he saw these petroglyphs when he was a little boy and when he read the story of Hawaii and on the first settlers of the islands, he was so intrigued by him that the story became his passion. He then took the next level and soon he became the most famous archaeologist. And this discovery has changed the course of his life.

Childhood stories

When Extzabe was small, he heard many myths on these numbers hidden around the islands and that he knew little, he knew that a few years later, he would be to investigate them. Talk about luck. Maybe it was these fascinating stories that made her pursue archeology. He said, there was a moment when he thought it was just a lie, but fate and history were wrong.

The value of Aboriginal culture

Exzabe and his research team told that the petroglyphs found were 4 centuries. And if we think about it, the Europeans arrived on the island during the second half of the eighteenth century, which means that the petroglyphs were carved 150 years ago before Captain James Cook laid off.

Perspicuous discovery

This discovery gave new fascinating information about Hawaiian culture and history. The experts knew these numbers in front of European colonization and many Hawaii"S Historical sites are before colonization occurred in Hawaii.

The importance for local populations

More than us, discovery is important for local people who have lived in these parties for years. Such discoveries say more about their history and culture to people who are part of this story. For them, they are not only archaeological discoveries, but answers on their past. It was personal for them.

Family history

This"S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND DECLARE READING LIKE, Because this way we can get closer to our ancestors.Fortunately, there are many historians and other experts who were able to trace people"s tree families who led to deciphering documents from the past.

The native speaks

According to Glen Kila, a local resident of Oahu, "it is very likely that this discovery will allow the inhabitants of the island to learn about their descent." He also thinks that this new discovery should be deciphered as soon as possible, because it would see more light on the genealogy and religion of the Waianae tribes.

The Archaeological Preserve Petroglyphus Puakō

Waianae's petroglyphs were not the only ones ever discovered on the islands. In fact, covering all parts of Hawaii, there are more than 200 such sites, where some petroglyphs have been found in other South Pacific islands. But if you want to live Hawaiian history as the Petroglyphus Puakō Archaeological Reserve in Kailua-Kona is the place where you should visit.

What can you find there?

At the archaeological preserve Petroglyphus Puakō, you"ll be able to see 1,200 Petroglyphs.However, there are some parts of the park that are out of bounds to tourists and if we consider these areas too, about 3,000 sculptures everywhere. The experts found sculptures of paddlers, sails, walkers, dancers, family groups, divinity symbols and animals such as dogs, chickens and turtles.

The Field of Petroglyph Waikoloa

And if you really want to immerse yourself in Hawaiian history and culture, you should go to the Field of Petroglyph Waikoloa, near the Puako. The sculptures here on this site look more like a graffiti. Here you can see clear figures of humans, birds and canoes. This place is an important link with Hawaii"s History.

The connection

On this site, there are numbers of a horse and a warrior who tells the experts that, in the past, the contact between the European explorers and the aboriginal people was true. Although the discovery made by these two men was not as ancient as the sculptures that could be seen here in these two canned, this discovery was still important and unique.

Unique characteristics

According toExzabe, the petroglyphs found in Waianae are not only unique but special as they"Re located on the shore and these numbers are also engraved on the rock.These petroglyphs were not like other personalities where they have figures related to animals or birds, but here these numbers were hands and figures that are not found anywhere in Hawaii"S Archaeological sites.

Other unique features

Other petroglyphs around Hawaii are just height, but these new figures discovered by two men of Texas have more than five feet high.Now he was quite archaeologists to decipher the secret of those 400 years.-The sculptures.Unfortunately, there were other problems that archaeologists had to face.

The importance of preservation

It is very important to tell the authorities of these discoveries and, more importantly, do not damage them at no cost. We never know how difficult these discoveries can be delicate as they are very old. You should avoid touching them and trying to preserve them. And in case of petroglyphs, they can easily be damaged when you touch them that the upper part could wear, like that.

Discovery announcement

Conscious of this problem, said Extzabe when the television is maintained it is very important for local authorities to preserve the area and until the area is not protected, no human is allowed. If we do not keep these steps that tourists will come into the site and probably would like the rules and regulations that, as a result, could destroy them.

Preservation in the future

If you think there are no other problems, with the exception of human interference that you are wrong. The US military can handle man, but what they can not manage were the forces of nature. When Mike and Lonnie spotted the water-covered sculptures, they did not know that in a few days, the sculptures disappeared again.

Disappearance

Thus, the sculptures disappeared again under the sand confusing each expert on the site. A day before yesterday, the sculptures were right there in front of them and they were all. And the main problem was that nobody knew when they will spot sculptures again. The investigation stopped. Too many questions were left unanswered.

Pending

Thus, the team of experts was waiting for sculptures to reveal again. The site was protected and no one was allowed to enter. He was kept with the American army, you do not joke with the army. You just obey what they say. You can imagine the seriousness and importance of discovery now. The experts were ready to wait because it is worthwhile to wait.

The selected

Archaeologists have discovered the reason why no one has been able to identify sculptures before. The sculptures were covered with the thick layer of sand and that is why no one could identify them and it was a lucky day for Mike and Lonnie, as they were there at the right time at the right time. The sea revealed the sculptures when it needed sand with it.

Warnings!

Archaeologists have ensured that no one gets into the site because they feared that when the sculptures have disappeared again, tourists could walk on them by mistake that could destroy the sculptures for good. So they asked the tourists to stay away from the place or promenade. Archaeologists did not know when they would see the sculptures again.

FUTURE PLANS

Exzabe and his team warn people not to remove the sand from the area and people were cooperative because they could see the gravity of the discovery. Local populations have helped the authorities saying tourists from their level they should avoid this place. All they could do now was wait. The team did not want to destroy sculptures at any cost and all they had to do was to have a small patience before the sculptures proved again.

Very very important

The administrator of SHPD Alan Dower said that, for now, they have no control over the sculptures because it was almost impossible to tell when they will prove again, so they were waiting for that day. But during that time, they tried to teach people about the importance of these conclusions and why they should protect the region. "This discovery is an important part of Hawaii's culture," said Alan Dower.

Unanswered questions

It is very important to understand the meaning of the petroglyphs because they are the missing links in Hawaii's history. They lost a new light on Hawaiian culture and history that not only help archaeologists study in detail, but also brings the local population near their lost history.

Still unearthed

Like those found in Waianae, there are several other discoveries waiting to discover. Until the sculptures do not show them back, there are still dozens of questions requiring answers. Why were these sculptures so huge? Who drew them and for what purpose near the coast? We hope they find answers really soon. But what about Mike and Lonnie?

Accidental explorers

An accident at the beach has changed the life of Mike and Lonnie forever. They were really happy to realize it was the ones who made the discovery. Indeed, they will always remember their most amazing holidays all their lives. Would not it really be amazing if it would be again on the sculptures when they reveal themselves?
