The cover photograph is of the author alongside 'a child of Noah'. Why?

Produktbeschreibung
The cover photograph is of the author alongside 'a child of Noah'. Why? Because this statue at Purekireki Marae, Pirongia in the Waikato, depicts an ancestor of the Patupaiarehe people and Nuku (Noah in the ancient language of New Zealand) is said to be their founding father. So was Noah the first to find and settle this country? ¿ The Patupaiarehe call him Ue-Nuku (the bow of Noah) and knew 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 New Zealand is the only land named after the Flood hero and patriarch. ¿ The name Manu-ka (Manu also means Noah) when translated also means 'The Land of Noah'. ¿ Maori tribal tradition holds that Noah once lived at the top of New Zealand and owned the North Island. ¿ Written history records that Noah lived for 350 years after the Flood (from around 2,500 BC to 2,150 BC). ¿ Within that span is the date of 2,225 BC revealed when organic remains from the 'Forbidden City' in New Zealand's Waipoua Forest were radiocarbon tested. Furthermore, testing of human skulls found in a cliff cave high above Lake 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 the Flood? This book goes on a search for the answers. In 2016 John wrote Forbidden History which, through descendants still living among us today, tells how fair-skinned Northern Hemisphere peoples settled New Zealand over 2,000 years ago. This well-received book 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 archaeological evidence and ancient truth to suggest who they were and how they got here.
Autorenporträt
Victoria Chames was one of the first women in the nontraditional profession of firefighter/ paramedic, the second of three careers: Graphic Arts, Fire Service, and Hospital Emergency Room caregiver. She now writes the stories of the challenges and experiences along this life-path, and a deeper theme of a hidden family tragedy. More than a memoir, Victory is an adventure story, a mystery tale, and a first-person window into a remarkable and unapologetic life that proves unequivocally that in spite of the odds - Girls can.
