Can anyone identify these euphorbia from the documentary “Chariots of the Gods”?

    Where do these euphorbia grow? These scenes from the 1970 documentary “Chariots of the Gods” are supposed to take place in the South Pacific, but I suspect they are faked. The people don’t resemble Pacific Islanders, they appear to be wearing wigs, and one is wearing a leopard skin (which aren’t in the area). If the plants don’t grow in the South Pacific, that would prove the scenes are fake.

    You can see more of the plants in the video: [https://youtu.be/guPG2DlhBdI?si=C35wqTmRhD717Bns&t=481](https://youtu.be/guPG2DlhBdI?si=C35wqTmRhD717Bns&t=481)

    (I think the first three plants are euphorbia, but maybe not the last one.)

  2. the last two ones are aloe ferox or marlothii not sure about the correct id. Not sure about the first ones. Maybe euphorbia ingens
