    It is mindblowing how Polynesian seafarers mastered navigation across the Pacific Ocean travelling thousands of miles discovering New Zealand, Hawaii and Rapa Nui.

    They need a water desalination system on the island, I bet they could use wind power to power it, that or tidal wave power. Would be a great place to start.

    • @billyjean8057

      Well it would be great for them but at the same time it’s a island country they don’t really have the resources to put all the green energy and water desalination on the island. The water desalination alone would cost millions and millions of dollars

    The history of Easter Island is really interesting and a reminder of survival too. The island's income depends a lot on tourism and I think many locals (correct me if im wrong) have tried for years to become an independent nation from the Chilean government so it is important for them to find a way to preserve the Moai as much as they can.

    Are some of the EASTER ISLAND STATUES adorned with Kolpik or Shtreimel hats? Alexander Salmon Jr. Son of an English father and a Tahitian mother, was a Jew. His sister was the Queen of Tahiti. Alexander Salmon Jr. was the DE FACTO RULER EASTER ISLAND from 1878-1888. Alexander Salmon Jr. had godlike status on Easter Island, and had plantations there with over 700 indentured servants. The KOLPIK HATS remained on the Easter Island statues even after Salmon sold his holdings to Chile in 1888.

    Oh no. The climate is changing back to what it was when these mysterious people existed. The waters recede reveling what the water levels once were. Imagine telling these ancient people the climate was going to change thousands of years ago and cause the ocean to overtake their statues. They would have thought it to be nonsense. But here we are, perhaps going back to their “normal”.

    If the Sphinx is older than Egypt says then the Easter Island Natives 🗿 🏝 and the Native American ancestors in Africa are related. And the Sphinx was originally created by the ancestors of those who left North Africa and the Richat Structure aka The Eye of the Sahara aka Atlantis well over 50,000 years ago.

    If no one is there today, they came an Left in boats.. but they stayed somewhere, and they had to have water.

Rapanui was known and still is as the Island of The Gods. ( In the Earlier days of Marine trade when they thought Earth was flat.. The International Marine route passed Easter Islands in those days. International friends adopted Rapanui like they do Hawaii in these times. They named Easter Island Island of the Gods..
