There is no such cave.

White European.
And you know this how?
Just for s’n’gs, your site claims that the Viking/Celtic settlers travelled from Scotland down the Atlantic and across the Indian Ocean to reach New Zealand. The much shorter trip to Newfoundland required leapfrogging from Iceland to Greenland and then to Vinland - in open ocean in the Sagas of the Icelanders tell of worms that eat the hulls of ships if they stray too far. Established Norse protocol therefore would be to set up staging posts along the journey to facilitate colonisation, or at the very least resupply ship victuals like fresh water and food needed for a journey of about 25,000 miles, hugging the coasts. Do you have any evidence of Norse landfall along the route and how it was technically feasible for the ships of the time to survive such a journey - what were the ships used?
Because it is baloney.
Sorry.
Wait. Are you saying it was Italians, and not Vikings, who go there?
I meant of European descent, so yes, it would mean White European. It doesn’t, however, mean Viking, because there is no Maori word for Viking. Because the Maoris never encountered Vikings.
Because I lived in New Zealand for a number of years and had scientific and academic colleagues who were anthropologists and paleontologists, as well as friends who were active cavers. (I went caving a few times myself.) If there had been any such cave I would have heard of it.
If you want anyone to believe such a cave might exist you need to provide some evidence besides “I read once…”
There is a more plausible theory that the Portuguese were the first Europeans to discover NZ and Australia. It won’t feed anyone’s Viking fetish, but the history of Portuguese exploration is staggering on its own.
Entirely plausible, since that is well within the “Age of Discovery”. Claims about Vikings, which would have been well before that, don’t have any substantiation.

It didn’t mention anything about New Zealand, but I found it interesting
Intelligence and bearing? That would be almost quaint, if it weren’t so ridiculous and racist!
Well certainly I enjoy a good work of fiction as much as the next guy. Although most fiction I read is better written and more plausible. Well, OK, Illuminatus probably isn’t better written. But it is more plausible.
That page is utter tripe, as evidenced by gems such as this:
An expert identifying a bronze horned helmet as a Viking relic would have to be an idiot. Even if this story was true, which the rest of the page doesn’t make likely, the available evidence on horned European helmets make a Viking origin unlikely, and an age of 900 years too young.
I too would have found a site like that interesting, as a kid. I found the Däniken-book I read interesting. But eventually I realized that just because somebody has the ability to type and publish they’re not automatically reliable, and that goes double for the internet.
The Germans were colonizing New Guinea about the same time they were big on all that Wagnerian crap. That might explain your bronze helmet.
I’m wondering how old Geørg is.
Until I see a better cite than an orange on black transcription of “Psychic Australian March 1977” I’m going with the explanation “someone made it up”. Okay, maybe I can stretch my mind to also accept “misrepresented” or “misunderstood” some event or other.
Haven’t heard a peep from him in awhile.
Yes, but what about the well known arrival of the Egyptians to New Zealand in 2200 BC?
