Notes found in the bottom of a drawer, written by the descendant of a reigning family in ancient Polynesia. They unveil the translation of mysterious petroglyphs, carved some millenia ago, and discovered in the middle of the crater of Tahiti Island. These petroglyphs tell the extraordinary fate of the Polynesian people's ancestors. A family book, the puta tumu, written two centuries ago, reveals the keys to all these secrets. These extraordinary revelations shake up our vision of the history of the Pacific Ocean and the Polynesian world.
