<p>Given how far they advanced in their Pacific explorations (https://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/te-lapa-0018032), it is natural to wonder whether or not they ever reached Antarctica. Some researchers have claimed they did (https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/maori-discovery-antarctica-0015446), and that they were actually the original discoverers of that continent. But in a study recently published in the journal <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/arco.5337" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Archaeology in Oceania[/url], a team of scholars present the evidence that caused them to conclude that the ancient Polynesians never made it quite that far south, despite the astonishing success of their long-distance explorations.</p>
