The Vikings of the Sun Rise

By 1000 BCE all these new technological innovations had allowed early Pacific peoples to make their way to Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji. To relegate these voyages to a couple of lines really doesn't do them any justice. These navigators were insanely good at what they did, finding their way via the stars and sun, partly because they had to be. The alternative meant death. Perhaps something simple is overcrowding or not enough resources in land. Alternatively, it could be more social reasons such as warfare or non-inheriting sun seeking their fortune.
