For decades the minds of people have been preoccupied with the mystery of Easter Island in a remote part of the distant volcanic sands of the Pacific Ocean but our planet has thousands of such Lonely Island locations. the island itself?
But the obelisks that formed the obelisks that created the world's most famous stone headers Did they serve a purpose? Where did their creators go and where did they disappear?
However, it seems that the answer is near as you watch this video and satisfy your curiosity To learn all the facts about Easter Island remember to give us a thumbs up. We are working to make your life brighter. What do we know about the island itself?
Rapanui which is the name given to Easter Island in its origin? Are the inhabitants of Chile and located in the southern Pacific Ocean?
And is it so far away that you can easily view it as one of the most remote places on a world map 1,200 miles 1,200 km from Pitcairn, its nearest neighbor? Chile itself is 2,300 miles 2,300 km to the west and the only means of transportation is to get there.
If you want to get to this destination you will need to spend five hours flying from Santiago Chile to Easter Island.
The island is only 63 square miles 63 sq km, and let's face it - the small area is home to 887 large stone sculptures. Here are some interesting facts you may not know.
They have long noses Chin Rectangular ears heavyweights and deep eyes It is interesting that the nostrils are curved in the way the fish hooks first.
At first, people thought that these images were made only of heads But surprisingly there were full bodies. Attachments Found during excavations in May 2012 weighed 297 tons in the US.
However, the heads of the visual images that appear in the first place make up 3/8 of each image size as the Arms, which were engraved against the bodies sitting in different places.
With the exception of one group facing the inland means its back facing the sea Perhaps the reason for that was the belief that these images were the protectors of the citizens.
That is why they do not pay attention to the place of residence.
Its name is Kotori Scientists believe that the image shows an ancient artist whose position is similar to that taken by the people at the rui festival.
The head of the statue is raised very high and you can see even the beard In Kotori looks more like a human than in other images. It's small and unusual in size.
Property Puna's red stone sculpture is one of the things that makes us stand out from the rest. across the island What else was it like when Europeans first arrived on the island in 1722?
They found a small local population of between one and a half and three thousand people. How could it relate to the hundreds of statues on the island?
There were certainly many theories about how these statues were moved One of the most popular things among mystery lovers was the belief that these statues were created and moved by aliens But even if you like this idea we are sorry to explain it.
the stone on which the statues were built came from the island itself
the birthplace of most of the material was the extinct volcano northeast of Easter Island and not another planet. re-create the image and check an opportunity to move it.
They had to use tools that could be obtained from the Aborigines. But the American archaeologist succeeded in delivering a ten-ton copy of the United States Decades passed and another group of American Scientists proved that the Islanders were capable of tying ropes and circling large statues and moving them in motion.
They base their theory on the practice of presenting a complete picture of three hundred and thirty feet using this method.
Their view may explain why the Raphaelites say that idols used to travel with magic and explain how images were transported to designated places. But what about the rest of the question? How could a small group of citizens build such magnificent monuments?
Recently a new study was conducted to determine the high population density during the period of island civilization.
Thousands of people could live comfortably on the island at least 19 percent of the world's land could be covered by sweet potato fields that were the main source of human food, what else did the islanders eat seafood and plenty of fish? So knowing these numbers you can see that there were enough people to create stone art.
But what happened to them and why did they disappear? Initially, it was believed that the reason for the declining population was the natural side of indigenous peoples.
Who cut down large forests and palm trees to provide a backup site for images and Agriculture that they thought the trees would grow again. fast enough. It was a misleading concept of environmental degradation.
It caused famine and, in turn, led to wars and food shortages. Today, however, such a theory has been proved wrong for the first time by the inhabitants of Rapa Nui who appear to be highly skilled agricultural engineers.
Had been living on the island for hundreds of years and the population began to decline when Europeans began to visit.
Were common on the island in the middle of the nineteenth century Part of the Indigenous People was taken What more European traders brought to the island new diseases?
The local people were unprotected and forced to Move it. It led to the catastrophic decline of the nation that gave the world such a miracle as the mystery of Easter Island.
