In almost all the islands of the Pacific ummification in some form was practised. In some cases Tahiti and Samos for example, the method follows closely that of Egypt. In the Solomons and New Hebrides, on tu other hand, attention was confined to the heart.
Other instances of the wils spread of heliolithic culture in Polynesia are plenti ful. Many customs of the islanders can easily be traced, to their Egyptian origin, and proof of such origin is furnished by the fact that all these customs existed among the civilised inhabitants of South America.

The stone images and platforms in the Austral group, the Mar quess, and Pitcairn Island bear #strong resemblance to monuments in Peru.
ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS, There is no doubt that in the twilight of history the ancient civilisations of the Old World had established content with the lantis of the Pacific. From the evidences of heliolithic culture it is delued that some of the carriers remained in the islands, while others reached the mainland. The advantage of a continent to develop in resulted in the civilisation of Mexico and Fera. The voya gers who remained in the islands degenerated through lack of opportunity, and even forgot many of the useful arts they had brought with them.
