According to Reuters, a team of researchers, trying to open the mystery of the Pragyethask migration, has re -educated a potential ancient journey from Taiwan to Japan’s Yunagoni island, according to Reuters.
The campaign, which spanned 140 miles in treacherous waters, was designed to test how early humans have seen a widespread sea spread with ancient tools about 30,000 years ago.
Researchers used copies of tools from this pretestoric time period and used it, such as an ax and a cutting process in which a 25 -foot -long (7.5 meter) canoes are called aids in the Japanese pine tree below the Japanese pine tree in the Namo Peninsula.
Four men and a woman’s staff padled the canoe on a journey that lasted for more than 45 hours, traveled about 140 140 miles (225 km) in the open sea and fighting the world’s strongest maritime, Croatio. The staff endured high fatigue and took several hours when the canoe went into the sea, but managed to complete a secure crossing for Yunagoni.
As the prehistoric people were with, they visited through the sun and the stars, as well as the direction of the sea, even though they were involved with two escort craft for safety. Yunagoni is a part of Japan’s four main islands, Taiwan, a part of the Rivico China, spreading from Kyusho.
Researchers had previously failed to cross the crossing using red rafts and then bamboo rafts, found that they failed to overcome a very slow, inadequate durable and strong maritime current.
“With many failures, through this project, we have learned the difficulties of crossing the sea, and this experience has given us deep respect for our Palo Lithuk ancestors,” the University of Tokyo expert Josovic Kefi said on Wednesday, published in the Science Advanced Journal on Wednesday.
“We have found that Palo Lithuk people can cross the sea with a strong maritime current if they had a dugout cano and they had skilled, experienced pedal and navigators. They were at risk of flowing through a strong maritime current, and the possibility that they would never return to their homes,” they would never return to their home.
Archaeological evidence suggests that almost 30,000 years ago, people first entered some of Taiwan from Taiwan, including Okinawa. But scientists wondered how they could do this with the initial technology of the time – no map, no metal tools and just ancient utensils. And Croatio Current, who reinforced the Gulf river away from Mexico, presented a special challenge.
The research was in the vein of the famous Koni Taki campaign of 1947, in which Norwegian Explorer Thor Hairardhal traveled a long way through the Raft from South America to the Polyanian islands across the Pacific. The purpose of Heridahl was to show how the prevailing people of the United States can make Polynesia colonial.
“His theory is now confronted with a series of evidence, but at the moment, it was a huge case,” said Cafe. At that time, it was a huge case. We have more archaeological and other evidence to create a realistic model of prehistoric trips.
Researchers from a fellow study published in the same journal used the imitation of the maritime conditions between Taiwan and Yunagoni 30,000 years ago to assess if such a crossing could be achieved at a time when Croatio was more powerful than today.
“As our Pelio-Bahar model was revealed, it was possible to cross Croatio in ancient times, so I am sure he has achieved it.”
Chang added, “However, sea conditions were very variable. Thus, ancient people may face unexpected weather conditions during their journey, which could lead to failure.”
