It is mindblowing how Polynesian seafarers mastered navigation across the Pacific Ocean travelling thousands of miles discovering New Zealand, Hawaii and Rapa Nui.
Like me and you going shops a mile away! They were giants with 20 inch penis! Metre long foot steps!
They can't put a protective paint over those statues to keep them from corroding?
They started from Taiwan then went to the Philippines, Melanesia then Polynesia
@@Angry.General1461they probably don't want to as they want to preserve the natural look of the statues since there wasn't any paint back when they were made.
@@Angry.General1461😊😊😊
So amazing how they can move these giant statues. Respect!
They moved through ropes
A bunch of college kids moved one with ropes
Our kalias were really strong and could carry about 500 ppl at a time so yeah probably why
wow.... amazing statues built and moved years ago by people with no machines... incredible

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.

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.
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
They could use both with solar power.
Great piece! Thank you.
I love the added context here. Directly explaining the issues.
The rope thing was really cool 😊
Much love from Samoa 🇼🇸 tagata Rapa Nui ❤🎉❤
Very interesting. Thanks.
I loved this video from GMA. The info about the Moia statues and the history on them was so informative and I now know a lot more about it’s people and about the states meaning and why the people did them. It does make sense. God bless the Moia people and their habitat too. Climate change is very real and very deadly too. Sue M🙏. Also, Michael Strayhan is my favorite on GMA! Hugs to you always.❤️❤️
Very educational. Thank you
I want to see these before I die. I find the whole thing very moving: respecting the dead, the sheer WORK involved...Wow❤
I like how they gotta make it about climate change. “If we don’t stop climate change the weather is gonna get more weatherier”
Exactly. They must think we're stupid!!!
Right. Like we would believe 98.7% of climate scientists!! Ridiculous.
They think their indoctrination is working with the smart people. We can see how many stupid people watch liberal media. Lol
Why didn't they make the music louder?
I'm pretty sure they can coat it to prevent or atleast slow down natural weathering . That island is definitely bucket list in my book !
You Have Soul, Michael. ☮️✅
Wait what is she, the beautiful rapa nui lady, speaking? I thought we didn't know ronga ronga?? Or we just can't read it?
ABC needs to make more videos like this
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.
How did they walk them up on the platform?
They can't put a protective paint over those statues to keep them from corroding?
Is it possible there’s a body inside those statues?
Yes they are
i don't think so since they were carved out of the mountain.
0:42 the song name is hoko manu by yoyo tuki
I know it’s hard to believe today, but Easter Island was a terrifyingly over populated island that fell to the egos & foolishness of opposing forces it’s lovely to see its forests and habitat being slowly restored as more visitors arrive to learn about the fate of such a stunningly uncontrolled prehistoric Industrial Age that almost cost them everything
What song was that? 😊
🗿
They were made by giants not humans.
They are literally standing monuments to the achievements of the ancient peoples, that they were able to use simple stone tools to erect so many of these grand massive statues to honor their ancestors.
They could have made long absolutely round long carved rocks. Rolled them to spot then carved them at the spot erected
There's one on Jacksonville with long silky hair and another one in Golden State with four rings. 😂
I cant wait to go!
If I could go to one place before I die it would be Easter Island.
MMMOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII 🗿
4:10 or Build them Drone like Alien Water tower Ships bUt Make it like Cool... okay?
lovely!
These are connect with the Bermuda triangle open triangle whole underneath each one
behold chad island
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.
Shut up, fool
Put down the crack pipe.
@@reh3884They can't put a protective paint over those statues to keep them from corroding?
The eye of Sahara, is definitely not Atlantis
MOOOOAAAIIIII 🗿🗿🗿🗿
This video is so 🗿
Examine the mystery of the Birdman Cult
The oceans are all connected. Sea level rise would effect NYC and Easter Island equally.
This is getting scary but everyone is blind to it....u kno how hard it is to go that island. Do ur homework on it
3:21 so those sing a song in walk here or what?
Are all rocks gonna get blown up ! Then raise it up
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”.
Facts
God, imagine you're so dumb you can't see the world dying. You inbred are a joke.

I heard this all burned down?!?
Could be sport drinks and etc
Heaven for Sigmas🗿
Why move them? They were better in their original place
Their original places were all knocked down, laying on the ground and broken. It's only in modern times they were put back upright and repaired.
The moai are far older then just 3 centuries these moai are far older.
Why move it ?…
Are we to believe that a brush fire melted these "moai" like butter what are they hiding
Mahalo Ke Akua for Polynesia
cap no humans move that statue smh
Shake your head all you want. It's been already proven people can move them.
At minute 1:39-1:40
Ohhhhhhh. It’s climate change !!!!
🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
They move it by roll it on top of coconut tree
In india from the year 2014to 2022 all the Elections Process FBI investigation is necessary through the UNO please protect the peoples in india
Okay, how did they cave them? LOL.
Ridiculous without machines...
Climate change 😂😂😂😂
Sure, Jethro, your job as a gas station attendant makes you an expert.
@reh3884 you're funny..

Bruh 🗿
Where are the practiced failed attempts.
So iam sure the moai have seen a few climate changes.
Its like the Easter Islanders foresaw the coming of John Kerry and knew he would save the planet.
Wait I was thought the the original people of Easter island cannibalised themselfs because they used all the resources on the island how r these people the ancestors of them or were they just another tribe that came after the original people
That's a myth. The island came to ruin because a new cult started up.
White people talk
Alex Pereria land 🗿
This is simulation it's far east north of them as view from camera phone on screen all
This garbage reporting. These are not facts. The 'walking" for example is just 1 of many theories. And that one they walked is 3 times smaller than the real ones. Just awful inaccurate reporting.
Climate change 🤦🏽

They are gender neutral....it seems
What's your point, inbred?
The Polynesians have nothing to do with the moais.
Explain?

And built by someone else not hawaiians
Wow, you're pretty clueless, I don't think anybody has ever claimed that Hawaiians built them. You need a geography lesson.
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba yes they did and you need to read you're comment carefully before posting
@@melbournechugging2999 They were obviously not built by Hawaiians, nobody has ever claimed that they were built by Hawaiians, in fact, the Hawaiian islands might not have even been populated at that time so Hawaiians probably didn't exist either. So what's your point ?
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba again read your comment 😂
The Hawaiian islands was already populated.
Topic ended don't post anymore you're making yourself a fool
@@melbournechugging2999 this is so funny
This is funny enough
