The Aryan Maori (1885)

The Aryan Maori is a book written by Edward Tregear and published in 1885. The book explores the theory that the Maori people of New Zealand are descended from the Aryan race, a group of people who originated in Central Asia and spread throughout Europe and parts of Asia. Tregear argues that the Maori language and culture share many similarities with other Aryan cultures, such as the Sanskrit language and Hindu mythology. The book also delves into the history of the Maori people and their interactions with European colonizers. Tregear's theory has been widely criticized and rejected by scholars, but the book remains an important historical document in the study of Maori culture and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
