New Zealand is a country in the Pacific Ocean. Before people from Europe sailed to New Zealand, many people already lived there. They were the Maori people. The Maori used amazing boats to go from place to place in New Zealand. Some Maori people didn’t stay in New Zealand. They traveled from New Zealand to live in the Chatham Islands—800 kilometers away! The Maori people speak their own language, but before the Europeans came, they didn’t write stories in books. They were very good storytellers. They played music with instruments made from sea shells and danced special dances called the haka, the poi, and the whakawatea. They painted

their faces with shapes called moko.

Archaeologists study old buildings and things they find under the ground. They learn about people in the past. In 1902, near an island called Antikythera, they discovered the remains of an old ship at the bottom of the ocean. In the ship, there was a metal machine . They didn’t know what it was for. At first, they believed that it was to help sailors find their way in the ocean. But they changed their ideas, and they now believe it was for understanding the sun and the moon. They think it was the world’s first computer.
