Ha ha! Yes, and it's a fiction I fell for many years ago. I even read the novel "The Stone Gods" by Jeanette Winterson, although I had enough discernment to see that as laboured and pretentious. Pity I didn't question the whole "cautionary tale" baloney much sooner, but I was one of the true believers.
"Tupaia joined Endeavour in July 1769 when it passed his home island of Ra'iatea in the outward voyage from Plymouth. He was welcomed aboard at the insistence of Sir Joseph Banks, the Cook expedition's official botanist, on the basis of his evident skill as a navigator and mapmaker: when asked for details of the region Tupaia drew a chart showing all 130 islands within a 2,000 miles (3,200 km) radius and was able to name 74 of them."
His maps included Rapa Nui, Easter Island.
Tupaia started back to England with Cook. He died a year later in Batavia from illness. It would have been interesting had he lived and got to England and learned English and wrote about his life, which he surely would have done.
Let the toppling begin! Good data, I'd say. If We did not have moneyed psychopaths running the show, for sure We would be careful of Our planet. But They mess it up - with planned obsolescence, spraying crap, and many other ways - and then blame Us and, as You said, suggesting We need Them to be daddy and mommy.
