I was looking into this bit of pseudo science a little more after posting the link yesterday and it seems promoters of the Celtic settlement of New Zealand theory seem to believe there’s some conspiracy to cover up the “real” history of the Island and appear to use their theory to advance some racist beliefs that whites should be seen as the true indigenous people, not the Maori.
Here’s a pretty scathing rebuttal of their arguments and a look into some of their motives. If you have time, the debate through the comments section can be interesting as well
