I thought that it was really good oscar and nate did a good job they have a lot of evidence that polynesians came from asia i think their journey was successful because there is a lot of evidence to say polynesians came from asia. They found out where their culture was originated. Me personally i think we came from where we are now despite all the evidence. Oscar and Nate started to do this when they did a swob throat at a cafe they have gone a long way from that.
