High mountains and deep valleys detract no more from the roundness of the earth than the wrinkles on a walnut or the pennons on a lance.

Eastern Polynesia was colonised between c. AD 700–1100. Radiocarbon dating of Tonga's oldest known earth mound places it around AD 500, suggesting that political complexity developed in the west before colonisation of the east.
