The earliest traces of human presence on Sudmoll date back to the Paleolithic era, around 30,000 BCE. Nomadic hunter-gatherer groups, known as the Kaipatiki people, arrived on the island via rudimentary watercraft, likely from [[Peratra]]. They subsisted on a diet of fish, shellfish, birds, and wild plants, leaving behind a scattered archaeological record of stone tools, bone fragments, and charcoal deposits.
 
Around 10,000 BCE, a significant shift occurred in Sudmoll's prehistory with the advent of the Neolithic Revolution. The Kaipatiki people began to experiment with agriculture, cultivating crops such as taro, yams, and breadfruit. This transition to a more settled lifestyle led to the establishment of permanent villages, the development of pottery and other crafts, and the emergence of more complex social structures.
 
The Neolithic Revolution ushered in a period of cultural efflorescence on Sudmoll, marked by the rise of the Kura-Maru culture. This sophisticated society, named after its distinctive red-slipped pottery, developed advanced agricultural techniques, built elaborate stone structures, and engaged in long-distance trade with neighboring islands. The Kura-Maru people also developed a rich spiritual tradition, evidenced by their elaborate burial practices and the construction of ceremonial platforms and megalithic structures.
 
Around 2000 BCE, the Kura-Maru culture gradually gave way to a more hierarchical social structure, characterized by the emergence of chiefdoms. These political entities, led by hereditary chiefs, controlled vast territories and resources. Competition among rival chiefdoms led to the construction of fortified settlements, the development of specialized warrior classes, and the intensification of inter-island warfare.

The period that coalesces with the [[Occidental]] "Classical Antiquity" in Sudmoll witnessed the consolidation of chiefdoms into larger political entities, culminating in the establishment of the powerful Tu'i Manu'a dynasty around 100 CE. This dynasty, based in the island's central highlands, exerted political and economic control over much of Sudmoll. The Tu'i Manu'a rulers commissioned the construction of impressive stone temples, palaces, and ceremonial centers, reflecting their power and prestige.
During this period, Sudmoll's society reached a high level of sophistication, with a complex social hierarchy, specialized craft production, and extensive trade networks. The island's artisans produced exquisite pottery, textiles, and wood carvings, while its navigators ventured far beyond its shores, establishing trade links with distant islands and exchanging goods such as obsidian, pearls, and feathers.
The period also saw the flourishing of religious and intellectual traditions. The Tu'i Manu'a dynasty patronized a priestly class who developed a complex cosmology, elaborate rituals, and a sophisticated system of writing. This intellectual tradition, combined with the island's rich oral history, ensured the preservation and transmission of cultural knowledge from generation to generation.

Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa (The Great Ocean of Kiwa) was a Polynesian thalattocracy from approximately 500 CE to 1500 CE when it it's last sovereign territories full under the sway of the [[Daxia|Quan]]. The Polynesian islands in the [[Polynesian Sea]] and [[Sea of Orxital]] flourished under the empires approach of political decentralization, economic dynamism, societal hierarchies, and remarkable cultural achievements. At the heart of Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa's political structure were a class of hereditary ''ariki''' (chiefs) who ruled independent chiefdoms. The '''akiri''', where vessels of the tribe's '''mana,''' a spiritual force in the Polynesian canon, and they wielded both political and spiritual authority. Their legitimacy was reinforced by a system of sacred prohibitions and restrictions that regulated social behavior and maintained social order called '''tapu'''. While each chiefdom operated autonomously, a sophisticated system of inter-island alliances fostered cooperation and exchange. These alliances, often forged through marriage, trade, and shared ancestry, created a sense of unity and common purpose within the thatalocrassy.

The economy of Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa was based on subsistence agriculture and inter-tribal maritime trade. Islanders cultivated staple crops like {{wp|taro}}, {{wp|yams}}, {{wp|breadfruit}}, and {{wp|bananas}}. The Polynesian's agricultural revolution came later then other civilizations but by the time of Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa, they had irrigation and terracing. The vast expanse of the [[Polynesian Sea]] with its cyclical tradewinds provided a fertile ground for maritime trade, which flourished across the empire and as far away as [[Tierrador]] in [[Crona]] and [[Taco]] in [[Vallos]]. They exchanged goods such as {{wp|obsidian}}, feathers, shells, pearls, and foodstuffs.

One of the most remarkable examples of the empire's economic and political power was the island of [[Sudmoll|Te Pito o Te Henua]], home to the Mauwaii dynasty. Under the Mauwaii, the tribe's of [[Sudmoll|Te Pito o Te Henua]] United and constructed the awe-inspiring megalithic complex of {{wp|Nan Madol}}, a megalithic city built upon coral reefs and islets with a network of canals, platforms, temples, and tombs. {{wp|Nan Madol}} served as the political and ceremonial center of the Mauwaii dynasty.

The intergenerational sharing of knowledge, history, and genealogy was primarily through oral tradition, with professional storytellers and poets preserving the cultural heritage of the tribe's of the empire.

The island of Sudmoll was first visited and recorded by [[Occidental]]s when it was recounted by [[Pelaxia]]n or [[Cartadania]]n fishermen in the late 1480s. It remained obscure to them for the next 100 yrs as it was beyond reasonable travel and the tribes were hostile to foreigners.


===Late modern period===
During the [[Daxia]]n subjection of [[Polynesia]] in the 16-17th centuries, the island obstensibly fell under [[Daxia]]n control, but it was not central to the colonization efforts of the [[South Seas Development Company]]. It was used as a stop over point by Gabo de Pogiano, during his exploration of the [[Pelaxian discovery of the sea route to Alshar]], also known as [[The Southern Route]], wherein it was charted for the first time on an [[Occidental]] map, in [[1613]].
Main article: [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]]


The island fell once again into international obscurity until [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] ships of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] fighting a [[Daxia]]n fleet during the [[Alshar Quasi-Wars]], in [[1701]], where chased all around the northern coast of [[Stenza]]. They took refuge on the island after the [[Daxia]]n fleet gave up the chase. They navigated to the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] and resupplied, took on some settlers and laborers and returned 4 months later to establish a fort and dockyard. This complex was called ''Le Sud Moll'', the south dock, by the enterprising crew.

From [[1702]]-[[1876]] the Colonie Sud Moll was administered by the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] (BRTC). They set up Fort St. Matius which served as a trading post and garrison post for soldiers and a small naval contingent.

On January 4th, [[1763]], a typhoon hit the island and killed about 75 people, over 50 pf them native. The towns folk of St. Giles and St. Matius gathered to help the natives rebuild their villages and the natoves in turn helped the [[Bergendii]] rebuild the damaged buildings in those towns. The denizens of the impacted occidental towns and the native villages gathered on February 20th and held a feast of gratitude for each other. The day has since become a holiday in Sudmoll called ''Jour de fraternitee'' ([[Ænglish language|Ænglish]]: Fraternity Day) and celebrates the unity of [[Vallos]]oise and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] culture with pageants and recitations held in both languages in the town squares and then families retire home to have a family meal and share what they are grateful for.
