What Lies Beneath Easter Island?

That is Easter Island.
We will consider three mysteries of this island which interest everyone. And at the end, we will reveal the main secret, which, for some reason, almost no one talks about.
Today, you're going to find out:
What is hiding under the layer of earth at the stone heads?
Where did the giant multi-ton statues on the island come from? Who is behind their creation?
And what is the real mystery of Easter Island, which is little talked about?
The real mystery of Easter Island.

How was such a small number of inhabitants able to erect so many magnificent monuments? They had plenty of time without distractions like the internet.

As a retired metchant sailor, i agree entirely that you have to ASK the LOCAL PEOPLE their story. It has taught me that a LOT of the stuff you see published is just JUNK!😢

They were members of the Pulotu Empire from Moturiki Fiji who went to Tonga, then to Tuamotu Islands(whose underworld is Turikiriki) then went on to Rapanui(Easter Islands).. Led by a chief called Hotu Matua nd his crew members. They built all those statues and stone walls. That was the mystery of Rapanui revealed..As you can see a few more small islands near Easter islands called Motu Hiva, Motu One nd Motu Iti.. That Hotu Matua had the same mysterious attractive influence as Ratu Paula of Moturiki and earlier Tui Pulotus/ Tui Davetalevus of Moturiki where fish nd marine lives used to draw closer nd present themselves to the king or chief on dryland. That used to happen to Hotu Matua as well where turtles, lobsters nd other marine lives used to present themselves to him on to the dryland of Rapanui. As theres a chief Moai there on the far right with a crown was called the Tongariki (Tonga-riki)..Even the heavenly cellestial for this eastern Pacific islands was called the Sauriki(Sau-riki). Every Sau in Fiji nd the Pacific islands derived from Koya na Sau(Ratu Levu/Lewanavanua l). Who was the eldest son of Tui Waicalanavanua no.1 of Davetalevu Moturiki. They moved those big Moai statues by levitation powers nd skills on dryland and sailed them as well on their big double hulled canoes. Why the names Waqavatu nd Vatuwaqa still existed in Fiji to this day.

The sizes and number of the moai make me wonder if they weren't supposed to be "defending" or "protecting" the island's inhabitants from giants. I mean, you don't even have to step foot on the island to see them. I think that if this is the case, the makers of the moai wouldn't have to see giants but only to hear of them, maybe from some traveler/ trader who was also told stories of giants who were murderous and/or cannibals. They certainly would outnumber the occupants of most ships and if they were viewed from the water, they could be seen only as silhouettes, figures that look like huge men/warriors, always on guard. Just my wondering.

[Dragonsbrath]

To me it remains a mystery that we can only speculate on. The fact that several of the statues weighed in around 150 tons I can't believe they were walked into place especially since the trip was downhill and it would take a army to move them. I'm not convinced that we will ever truly know the answers but it is intriguing.

Polinaisan sailors were great explorers and had many great ideas about the world!

It was a much larger Island before sea levels rose.

[Emy]

I wish the original name remained. I hate it when explorers just took things and renamed it. I am always proud of people that fight for their independence.

[MRSZ]

None of the statues on planet Earth where made with primitive tools.

[acidrock]

I don't think Atlantis is a fairytale. Especially when there are ruins on the ocean floor near the Azores, where Plato said that Atlantis was.

[AngloSaxon-yxtk]

No one will ever know for sure, it will always be a mystery with those monoliths just with Stonehenge in England.

[poeticempress-original-peo]

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME, you shot and killed a few, brought fear and they decided to be your friend, give their women and more..???? A big piece of this story seems to be missing. "My Thoughts"

[ronwaldron]

I can see how they walked or maybe sledded the statues, it worked. But if the Pakua or hats, which were of different stone were added later. How did they put them on, some looked to weigh 5 or more tons. Going up 15 to 30 ft. or more would be be rather difficult with 5 or more tons.😊

[robertbiolsi]

You cannot radiocarbon date stone . No one knows when these statues were carved .From the looks of them and how deep they are now buried you cold be looking at hundreds of thousand years or more .

[jeffhans]

They were looking at freshwater sources. The bigger the statue and the more statues looking the same way indicated a larger more reliable water source. Knowing where to get fresh water was one of the main concerns for people on an island surrounded by salt water.

[Baasicstuff]

I think Easter Island is the highest point of a long lost continent. If you notice the statues are leaning inward, not sloping downward down the hill like what happened overtime this is earth that has been thrown over the existing city that used to be there most likely a half mile of debris. And the trees used to move these originally we’re down in the valley, not on top of the highest mountain.

[gerryboudreaultboudreault]

Rapa Nui. I did a cartoon of the statues, with bubble expressions like "I lost my hat" and "I can't scratch my foot" and "My underpants are wet!" etc. ha ha
