Bøker av John D Aldworth

The cover photograph is of the author alongside 'a child of Noah'.Why? Because this statue at Purekireki Marae, Pirongia in theWaikato, depicts an ancestor of the Patupaiarehe people andNuku (Noah in the ancient language of New Zealand) is said to betheir founding father.So was Noah the first to find and settle this country?¿ The Patupaiarehe call him Ue-Nuku (the bow of Noah) andknew him as the 'rainbow god'.¿ The ancient name for New Zealand was Nuku-Roa, i.e. the'Long Land of Noah' or 'Noah Long, Long ago'. In fact NewZealand is the only land named after the Flood hero andpatriarch.¿ The name Manu-ka (Manu also means Noah) whentranslated also means 'The Land of Noah'.¿ Maori tribal tradition holds that Noah once lived at the topof New Zealand and owned the North Island.¿ Written history records that Noah lived for 350 years afterthe Flood (from around 2,500 BC to 2,150 BC).¿ Within that span is the date of 2,225 BC revealed whenorganic remains from the 'Forbidden City' in New Zealand'sWaipoua Forest were radiocarbon tested. Furthermore,testing of human skulls found in a cliff cave high aboveLake Taupo shows that people lived there around 2,000 BC.¿ Did Noah and his descendants build the 'Forbidden City'?Did he and his descendants people New Zealand after theFlood?This book goes on a search for the answers.In 2016 John wrote Forbidden History which, through descendantsstill living among us today, tells how fair-skinned Northern Hemispherepeoples settled New Zealand over 2,000 years ago. This well-receivedbook is now in its third printing.Noah's Land takes the story of New Zealand's past further back,tracing people who lived here over 4,000 years ago. It cites archaeologicalevidence and ancient truth to suggest who they were and how they got here.
