I Love Myths and Legends From All Cultures

I've studied the Inca, the Aztec the Mayan and others.
Each has their own distinctive set of rules that they follow.
One of the more interesting are the Maori from New Zealand.
All those tattooed symbols! And each one has a meaning, it's not just a design !!
It's unclear exactly how a people largely thought to be Polynesian in descent came to rest on two small islands in the South Pacific. Whether it was mans natural desire for discovery. Or whether folk were escaping exploding mountains elsewhere???
