  • It's interesting that in this area we also see evidence of the large slabs appearing to have been thrown. In Egypt sites it can be explained that conquerors destroyed things and used the sites as quarries so things have been moved, but you can't easily use those explanations out here in the middle of nowhere.

  • Thanks for posting, Brien. I thought at the time the definition might suffer a little due the unreliable natural light, but in retrospect it kinda adds to the slightly eerie atmosphere of the Island. At least that was my feeling. I was there with David Attenborough in the Nineties, and I guess by now you might have seen the program that came out of that trip. The orthodox view on the stonework styles is much more non-committal as far as I'm aware, but I agree with your assessment. The earliest moai seem to be of such a different style, and their very endurance points to a greater order of quality and culture. The story of Easter Island still has so much to teach us 'modern' folks.

I realised then it was true never thinking they had actually gone on a mission, or I would have a platform like this and more importantly I wasn't the only one that had seen it. ! Suffice to say I think Pyramids stonehenge and statues all come from aliens. They care about our planet as that was the mission apparently, to disable nuclear weapons so we have nothing to be afraid of.

Just put a rule against the stone and we can determine the size to determine the growth rate and age of the lichen. Lichenometry. Brien you are my favorite Archeologer / KZhead Channel.

  • Another excellent video Brien. Thank you! It is highly likely that he original (or perhaps second) settlers came from Peru. You may mention it later but they had the sweet potato which is indigenous to Peru. There was a record keeping ancient civilization in Peru and about 55 bc, at the end of yet another massive civil war, many immigrated North to Central America ( the beginnings of the Mayan civilization) and some went east. They left from the Bay of Guayaquil and the prevailing currents likely would have taken them to Easter island. Here is the brief account from their record: (note that the group that was not heard from again mentioned in verse 8 would have sailed east. Others who sailed north were said to sail north; they were sailing from the west coast so sailing west was not an option. From the record we know their enemy was in the south pushing them north, so they would not have sailed south. That leaves only sailing east. ). “5 And it came to pass that Hagoth, he being an exceedingly curious man, therefore he went forth and built him an exceedingly large ship, on the borders of the land Bountiful, by the land Desolation, and launched it forth into the west sea, by the narrow neck which led into the land northward. 6 And behold, there were many of the Nephites who did enter therein and did sail forth with much provisions, and also many women and children; and they took their course northward. And thus ended the thirty and seventh year. 7 And in the thirty and eighth year, this man built other ships. And the first ship did also return, and many more people did enter into it; and they also took much provisions, and set out again to the land northward. 8 And it came to pass that they were never heard of more. And we suppose that they were drowned in the depths of the sea. And it came to pass that one other ship also did sail forth; and whither she did go we know not. 9 And it came to pass that in this year there were many people who went forth into the land northward. And thus ended the thirty and eighth year. 10 And it came to pass in the thirty and ninth year of the reign of the judges, Shiblon died also, and Corianton had gone forth to the land northward in a ship, to carry forth provisions unto the people who had gone forth into that land.”

  • Amazing that they know there is 10-20 ft of dirt covering those stone statues, but nobody thinks that more evidence and maybe even buried statues (Mo-ai?) is under all that dirt? I think ground penetrating radar over that island would find more artifacts and remnants of an ancient catastrophe that buried much of the island 10,000+ yrs ago. Also, if sea levels rose 300+ ft in the past, there should be more Mo-ai in the water offshore, and I think divers have found this to be true.

  • This other youtuber posted a video of an ancient stone building I have never heard of in Armenia that has all the tell tale signs of being ancient megalithic, with all the polygonal cuts, no mortar, precision, and large blocks, It makes me believe it was found by later cultures and repurposed, like all other sites. Not sure if you have heard of this place, linking the video here: kzhead.info/sun/hJl6h82Joqh6qYE/bejne.html Edit: Notice in the video I linked, the complete ancient building, it has the "nubs" too that we see on all the ancient walls of all the ancient sites. In this case, inside the rooms, and it appears the "nubs" were used to be a base for the arches. During the ice age, the ocean level would have been 400 feet lower than it is today. So I bet if one was to scuba dive in between Easter Island and South America, along the highest "mountains" on the sea floor, more ruins and artifacts would be found of this lost ancient civilization. There would have been a bunch more islands, closer together, that you can probably see even on google maps/earth.

  • 12:24 The moai in the center of the screen was what I wanted to see the most at ranu raraku. It is the only one with its head deliberately carved to depict it as observing the sky. Luckily, I got to visit before the fences were erected and stand directly beneath him. 16:46 I got to walk among those moai in 2001, The ones on the inside of the crater seem to be of the most recent period. They are very square and thin in appearance, like the mostly buried moai at Ahu Vinapu . There is a great view of Ahu Tongariki from the top of the crater. There can be seen two deep cut bore holes which I have since leaned were used as hitching pots to get the moai out of the cater and back to the ground Thanks for the great video!

    • In the 16th and 17th century there were many shipwrecks or wrecked ships that became unseaworthy and could not sail home anymore. Some of these people were inventive. There were also deserters, pirates and men who became prisoners. Not all persons involved died. This can easily explain islanders with blond and red hear in the 18th century.

  • I have been lucky to visit the island twice. A long ago, without fences, guardians etc. Then you could rent a horse and go where you wanted. Check the moais quite near, the plateaus and walk where ever... Second time they were building the fences everywhere, and immidiatly were shouting if you stepped off the path... Nevertheless, the island is worth visiting. Never mind the rude welcome they practise nowadays.

  • Hello Brien, as I watched in wonder of this amazing video I heard you question how the first visitors could find this small island in the middle of nowhere? I thought about it and came up with a probable answer. As it is a Volcano it was still active and could be seen from far away as it spewed smoke into the sky. What do you think about that?

    • Well the Rapanui elders said thats how they were moved. That they "walked" to their final destination...so, why is it hilarious? Their moai were personifications of their ancestors, of course if they "waddled" the stone statues with ropes they would describe them as "walking" to their ahu.
