Best Answer

The main Hawaiian Islands are thought to have been discovered by ancient Polynesians, probably from the Marquesas, somewhere around the 3rd century A.D. The first Heiau, or temple was built on the Big Island of Hawai`i in 500 A.D. to worship their two primary gods, Ku, the God of War and Lono, the god of peace and agriculture. By 850 A.D. the main Hawaiian Islands were mostly settled. The Polynesians were accomplished ocean voyages and explorers long before the Europeans had ventured far from land.
