The story is set in 500BC, at a time when the Lapita people, the Pacific Islands’ first known inhabitants, vanished from the archaeological record. The Lapita people were distinguishable through their unique and intricate pottery designs, perhaps of people riding on the backs of giant sea turtles. At around 500BC, that distinctive pottery disappeared across the Pacific and was replaced with plainware pottery.
