Product Description
by John D. Aldworth (Author)
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.
