Unesco’s writings on this heritage site reflects the scientific views on New Zealand’s typical geological past when it says, ‘The property exhibits many classic examples of the tectonic, climatic, and glacial processes that have shaped the earth. The great Alpine Fault divides the region and marks the contact zone of the Indo-Australian and Pacific continental plates making it one of only three segments of the world’s major plate boundaries on land. Collision between the two tectonic plates constructs the main mountain range, known as the Southern Alps/Kä Tiritiri of the Moana, which rise to nearly 4 000m altitude within a mere 30km from the sea’. Its intact flora and fauna are compared with the ‘ancient biota of Gondwana’… The progressive break-up of the southern super-continent of Gondwanaland is considered one of the most important events in the earth’s evolutionary history. New Zealand’s separation before the appearance of marsupials and other mammals, and its long isolation since, were key factors enabling the survival of the ancient Gondwanan biota on the islands of New Zealand to a greater degree than elsewhere’

Observation on geological phenomena of earth’s crust and on tectonic plate theory on disappearance of Gondwana constitute the greater part of scientific mistakes of our times. Names of Alps/Kä Tiritiri of the Moana, and Gondwana are historical place-names and they still exist to explain their past story.

Te Wähipounamu pinpoints an ancient human settlement of migrants who left their homeland in an unknown period of history. The migrants, as noted in the Flood Story, have carried different animal species of their homelands with them to their new and unknown destinations; the birds may have helped them to find out a new shore for their settlements. From the name of birds and animals, it is evident that these names suggest place-names associated with migrants’ homeland-memories. English translation of names of trees, birds, and animals have caused dramatic changes in birds’ ancient identities; botanical and zoological terms magnified certain areas of mistakes to trace the original habitats of many animals and plant species; in many cases their names identify them with their natural origin. At times a bird had three to four names which suggest that this bird was then seen on more than one region.

Te Wahipounamu can be written as Tewahi or Tehiwas or Tahia that identifies the ancient Turks and their settlement at Tihula at the foot of the Mt Imaos or Mt Meru. It is also name of a decorated flower panel made in a half-circle size to be offered offered to deities on special occasions. The name of this flower-decorated panel of a crescent-moon identifies the country of its origin. Te Wahi represent ancient Tahia or Tihula, ‘-pounamu’ is as same as ‘Bimana’ or the Chariot of god to whom tahias are offered. This name again carries weight and meaning when name of the Sea that Te Wahipounamu identifies with it is called Tasaman or ‘Sramana’ same as ‘Bhikshu’ or monk. Biblical Solomon identifies a ‘Sramana’ or ‘Monk’. It is a Pali name for a Monk. Name of Solander island near Te Wahipounamu in New Zealand is more wonderful for it connects the capital of Milinda at Alsand with ancient Turkistan. It was neighbourly to Tihula on the south. Waitutu coastline seems to pinpoint Wutu or Wa-wat directly whose historical relationship with Egyptian Pharaoh of VI dynasty and to Uthek(same as Ithica of Greek history) is well recorded in history.

Unesco finds this site where ‘… there is little permanent physical evidence of past human interaction with the natural environment, tangata whenua (the indigenous people who have customary authority in a place) have long associations with the area which was significant to them for natural resources, particularly pounamu (nephrite)’. Here the indigenous people are called ‘tangata whenua’, and this name is important to trace their origin from where they migrated and reached Oz-land. While tangata puts them in the historical net of the Gangetic plain or in the region of the Ganga kingdom, the name tangata substantially find them as follower of ‘tathagata’ ‘whennun’ or the ‘hunas’ as followers of the Buddha in the region of Fiordland; the latter exactly refers to  Bardi or Badri sitting next to Turks’ settlement at the foot of Mt Imoas. Here heynas marks name of a flower and also name of an animal whose ancient habitat points to the Gangetic plain. Country of Nyanza, Tanganyika and Nyassa were geographically united with Mt Imaos sitting opposite to the Moon Country which identifies itself with the river Scamander or the river Chandra.

New Zealand finds its root with Oz and derives its historicity from ancient Ujjain, the seat of astronomical sciences of the ancient world.

Unesco’s ‘property contains the entire wild population of the rare and endangered takahë (Notornis mantelli), the entire population of the South Island subspecies of brown kiwi (Apteryx australis), New Zealand’s rarest Kiwi, the rowi (Apteryx rowi), the only significant remaining populations of the seriously declining mohua / yellowhead (Mohoua ochrocephala), the only large populations remaining of käkä and käkäriki / yellow-crowned parakeet, the only remaining population of pateke / Fiordland brown teal in the South Island….the world’s rarest and heaviest parrot, käkäpö (Strigops habroptilus) survived in Fiordland until the early 1980s…’. All these bird-names collectively constitute the story of ancient migrants and their pet birds which they carried with them to trace for them an embarking place suitable for their common growth and living.

Scientific observation that , ‘The South West is also an outstanding example of the impact of the Pleistocene epoch of earth history. Ice-carved land forms created by these “Ice Age” glaciers dominate the mountain lands, and are especially well-preserved in the harder, plutonic igneous rocks of Fiordland. Glacier-cut fiords, lakes, deep U-shaped valleys, hanging valleys, cirques, and ice-shorn spurs are graphic illustrations of the powerful influence of these glaciers on the landscape. Depositional landforms of Pleistocene glacial origin are also important, especially in Westland, west of the Alpine Fault. Chronological sequences of outwash gravels, and moraine ridges in elegant curves and loops, outline the shapes of both former piedmont glaciers and Holocene “post-glacial” valley glaciers’, does not take into account humans’ past as a whole. It is an unobservable, unreliable, and an unrealistic statement that bears no geographical significance at all.
