Those prominent statues stood on a strong stone base. The purpose of the statues including their base, was to protect island from the ocean waves ( wave breakers), and to protect shores from washing away. Also, statues could have military purpose; the enemy, seeing from their ships giant silhouettes of people, could change their mind about attacking the islanders. So statues did serve several purposes at once, including worshiping their gods or ancestors.
On 1472 the Inca Tupac Yupanqui travel these islands with two hundred ships. For example any Moais have a red hat called PUKAO. In quechua, inca's language, red is designed PUKA, over another 30 coincidences.
They weren't cutting trees just to move statues, they also cut trees to get at the soil underneath to farm. They practiced slash-and-burn agriculture. Unfortunately the thin volcanic soil, steep slopes and heavy rainfall meant the farmland became infertile pretty quick. Nothing to do about it but cut deeper into the forest. They might even have realized what was happening by the time the trees were half gone, but by then it was too late. Too many people to feed.
@activedentalfloss What alternate? It is a 63 square mile island. Without trees, how would they hollow out canoes to fish for porpoises (their main food source) off the coast? How would they stop all the top soil from eroding after the trees were gone? If you get rid of all your resources, that's it. Game over. You can't support the same population. Easter Island is a microcosm of the world. So take some notes.
the easter island people were hiding.they and the mayans knew that planet X (nibiru) were gonna crash into earth. before we,they were not as smart as us.We have nuclear weapons We have Atom Bombs.We can stop the Anihillation of us by Firing all of our weapons,rockets,nukes,atom bombs. EVERYTHING. Please thumbs this up is you want to live so Youtube can see it,tell it to the government and at least TRY to save ourselfs instead of letting us just die out and let aliens live on this planet
The mystery of pyramids, Easter Island stone statues, Stonehenge and other ancient structures have been already solved two years ago. You still do not know about it because World Media hide this information from people. These time capsules contain in their design knowledge about the Universe and super technologies (anti-gravity, free energy etc.) Evgeny Zhukov is the author of the book "The Road to Home" where you will find THE TRUTH!
@izzydl1 try the Araucanian along the bio bio river,their DNA shows different.there was a mixing of cultures.apparently you don't know what the HELL you're talking about.
@jgstargazer I urge ya to research this their resources were diminished due to some being that took the natives as slaves and made them diminish their resources. As well as making them fight the other horribly.
This is very helpful because the fact of the matter is this video from national geographic is showing that this civilization used up all their resources. Even if no one really knows how the statues came to be, this is still a lesson to all civilizations.
the history of Easter Island is amazing......anything you see on YouTube or read about in a book is all speculation.....nobody knows how these amazing statues came to be.....we can only speculate
think about it people why is the island called easter or better known ishtar or isis or semiramus. becuase of its phoenician and babylonian connections. do your own research. do not trust so called experts who are paid by certain groups to propagate such ideas.
@genoa2878 thanks for letting the truth be known. all takes is a little commen sense and research. throw away your T.V. people unless you like being lied to
These guys fail... "Statue building contest!!! Biggest one wins!!!" everyone freaks out and builds statues as big as they can and use up all the islands resources like crazy, then after they are done they all die because they have nothing left but statues... FAIL!!! lol Does anyone know if people live there today???
@GuamKomudo it is pretty funny.....but what do you mean by they used all there resources to build the statues....the statues are made of rock yeah????
They used every single palm tree on the island to move them. They laied down the trees in a line, and put the statue on them and rolled the statues on the trees, they used every tree, and used their cannoes for wood too. they cought all the fish near the island, and had no boats to go out farther to catch fish, the trees were gone, so they could not eat birds anymore. Their diet was fish and birds, and they were both gone. the people then killed eachother for what food was left, and died.
@GuamKomudo i suppose they went to florida and helped build coral castle too. the history chanel is full of lies and deception. it is theory based on theory. there are several veery old books of real research done on easter island which explain factually with evidence how the statues of easter island were built. it relates to the mystery schhols of babylon. facts based on facts not theory based on theories
@VicRules666 not babylon the location but the religion of mystery babylon. easter island is referebced in several esoteric books such as one written by manley p. hall stating that the aboriginal tribe of the island were indeed long lost bretheren of the ancient babylonian religion. their rituals were almost identical and had similar names to that of ancient mystery babylon as do the american idians in both south and north america. this is fact and is almost undeniable.
@VicRules666 you are completely wrong and most likely dont even know the true meaning of the 666 you are using in your handle. it is the number of the initiated man. 3 rights of initiation with 6 acts in each known as the three sixes. read the book of the dead which is the book of initiation in ancient egypt. plutarch and plato also confirm this.
It wasn't theory, they have had tons of scientists working on it for a long time, it's not a lie, I don't know what you are talking about, but I've had several sources that tell me what I said. I'm not saying you're wrong, I wasn't there when they all died or built the statues... But not knowing what REALLY happened... I guess that's part of the fun of Easter Island. What is your "facts" of what happend then? =P
@GuamKomudo all for show or they refuse to look at the babylon connection becuase they are not allowed too. do not be decieved. there are many many books, much research and many artifacts that without a doubt show that the island and its inhabitants are connected to the phoenicians and to the religion of mystery babylon. so i ask you to research why all these scientists are overlooking and not disclosing this simple fact.
@GuamKomudo you must also take into consideration that these inhabitants were intelligent enough to create such stautues and place them astrologically perfect but so ignorant that it would destroy their civilization. i think not. always read everything, believe nothing and do your own research to discover what is going on. do you know how many scientists belong to and are paid by certain groups who want to keep this info hidden bcuz it would rewrite history
I tried to do my own research... But aparently all the information I got myself in my own research was all lies made up by crazy people. PLEASE tell me how I can do my own research, if the only people talking about Easter Island are liers, how can I get the truth??? =P Besides, they might not be stupid, but they did in fact use all the trees... And that's pretty much how the island is today, no trees... Wheres your info coming from, so I can learn the TRUTH!!! =P
@GuamKomudo i go to used bookstores in search of old books about history religion and so on. most libraries have removed very old books and research materials. I have found that there is a true historic language through theological symbolism, astrology(not what is put out there today) and symbolism. Also if you learn the roots of words in greek, hebrew and latin. true meanings are made easier. one author to look for is manly p. hall, although he did admit to decieving many.

@GuamKomudo Go to the island bro there was known to be a red haired race that enslaved the natives and took their resources away and made them kill one another. When the natives turned their heads towards them they ran away from I heard some of the todays polynesians have the red hair, blue eyes and dark skin. Then came the Dutch colonial folk that also did alot of injustice too. So it wasnt entirely native fault
i was watching a documentary about the astronomical links between the incan temples, egyptian pyramids, the heads on easter island and Ankor (among a few more).
it was a 3 part each 50 mins long, and he presenter was plotting them on a map and showing how they are all 47 degrees apart (or something).
what the hell are u talking about Latin people do not have a connection with polynesian people in fact the people of this island did not come in contact with Europeans until way after their population crash which was in 800 AD, Latin people are given the term by the Spanish, polynesian people came into contact with the British so they are not Latin, Latin and indigenous are not the same thing.
@izzyidl1 actullay latin people origated from the italian peninsula. latin is not indigenous to soth america it is a roman origination so you are wrong
@izzyidl1 latin america or "latin" peoples is a misrepresentation of nomenclature which found its way into the lexicon of the peoples and has propagated a false pretense of inhabitation within the society. this type of false history has a frequency so high around the globe that as a result a hidden history becomes apparent because of such misnomers. it is not so much purposeful but becomes mainstream and incorrect. these ideas need to be corrected to understand the truth
I'm from Guam, were Polynesian and we were taken over by Spain. Were not considerd Latin people, were still Polynesian, but most of us are Roman Catholic, I'm glad Spain brought that to us though =)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man never made these it was the aliens that built the statues .... wake the fuk up....mayan pyramids ,,pyramids of egypt,, stonehedge.... ! what .. those were man made as well???? yaaa ok...
I spent a week on Easter Island in 2002.. amazing experience!! arrived from Tahiti en route to Santiago; found a garden where we could pitch a tent; overlooking the Pacific.. sunrises & sunsets with the moai & horses; cycling.. rented a small Suzuki & drove around the Island to see all the remote moai & crater where they were 'born'.. it is such a fascinating spot on this planet!! have to go back one day with a digital cam!
talking end of Easter Island.. symbolic parallel between past & now.. what happened centuries ago in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific, and how human kind has been taking care of its fragile Planet the past decades.. impact on the environment, climate change, acidification of the oceans, changed weather paterns globally.. this Planet will end up like Easter Island's civilisation & palm trees unless the big guys & decision makers make a change during the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
so if history tends to repeat itself does that mean we are imortal, sinc eevery time we run out of resources, we spore out, reproduce, and head towards other resources?
It doesn't mean we're immortal. If you look at Easter Island, most of them died and they didn't spore out. The whole point of the thing is to tell us to conserve
But can you remember a time when there wasn't life? And are we really going to die if the earth ends? All these connections are assumptions you are making, not one a fact.
if the earth is not alive, than how come we are? Where does life come from before its on the earth, what is life outside of time, now that we know time is tied to space, we know that it loops around, and is looped around by something else, this is simple metaphysics to consider.
how are we supior if we dont care about our planet? natives did, but just because the easter island natives died like that all natives get bad name? its like one black guy kills and all black people are murderes
racist,for every five rapers/ pedophiles they are u re race......racist shouldnt exist...we are all on this planet,we all have a heart and our blood is all red...respect other fucker
i'm just showing how science proves nothing, i gave a statistical fact, based on teh fact, 98 percent of violent black men are killers, this isn't true, science has failed.
@barkbarkribbitribbit we are all the same is like saying...blacks are all the same, therefore they are all lazy, all chinese are smart, all jews are tightwads ect ect..we are all human true...but just cause one human does one thing doesnt make us all the same
Well, lets see. If we think of it in terms as what Idtelos put, as though modern man is on a timeline of 200 years. I seem to think that modern man would go back further than 1776, so I could only assume that that would be longer than 200 years. Want a definition of "Modern Man", ask the original author (Idtelos).
No different than what mankind is currently doing to this planet by over population, in turn that over burden the Earth's capacity to sustain such a huge human demand on its limited resources.
The ideal number of humans for this planet size is 529 million, not the 9 billion that increases each year by over 200 million!
ever see the machine that moves the spaceshuttle or the huge plane that flys it around? the shuttle itself is 170,000 lbs. these statues are 80 tons. you cannot move them with the hardest trees, let alone soft wood palm trees, they would smash flat. the granite that the statues is made of doesnt even chip when smashed with a hammer and chisel. they had no steel to even work with, so what did they use to even carve the stone? great distances these statues were moved. were they more advanced?
All early societies were relatively advanced, we just have our heads so far up our asses that we don't realize it. Hell, the Ancient Greeks in the Hellenic age had Steam Power, they just didn't care much for it; they saw it as a toy.
The inside of a palm is quite unlike that of a tree. NG made a mistake in either their narration or their filming. The moist tropical forest which would have been the subject of the program, includes a thousand species of broadleaf deciduous and evergreen trees. Think of Fiji or New Zealand.
I see that you are in the Philippines, then you are aware of the types of forest I'm talking about. The Mindoro Rain forest is typical and, as in the NG documentary, has been plundered by humans. Are you familiar with it?
nice try, biologist/ horticulturist! But you have tried too hard this time. "Tree" is not a technical term. "Tree" is a common term people use to refer plants that grow tall. You will never identify an animal that is called "seagull" in any science books. It's because "seagull" is a common term and not a scientifical term. But still, people keep calling sea birds as seagulls.
This may be. The point however, is that the islands were not all covered in palms. Depletion of palms was not the problem at all. The Easter Islands were what is known as broad leaf moist tropical forest and it is that specifically that was lost as a resource. Also, palms are very distinctly different and do not always grow tall. What would you call tall? Would you call a banana plant a tree? It is not either.

This is what religion does everywhere. The only difference here is that they didn't kill each other because here they all believed in the same stupid religion but even so it destroyed their world when they should have been doing useful things rather than building statues to see who had the biggest dick.
You honor YOUR OWN ancestors by building the biggest statue. Unless they're inbred they don't all have the same ancestors. They vie for status via their ancestor honor. If that translates into power I guess we'll never know. But if YOUR ancestors have the biggest statue and the most honor YOU by association have the biggest dick. Are you a mouth breathing retard or why is that such a difficult concept for you to comprehend?
BTW it's called "fudge-packing" not "fudge backing." What a moron!
Haha, you're fucking stupid and let me count the ways.
If their ancestor had the honor requisite of building such a large statue, then they're not vieing for any kind of status, or superiority, they already have it. So saying they're building statues to see who had the biggest dick is ignorant and uninformed you stupid ball tickling stupid ass.
Also, thank you for correcting my one typo, let me state it again.
You call me "ignorant" and "uninformed." Of what? Your opinion? You offer no facts or sources for facts that I should be informed of or am ignorant of.
My premise is based on the fact that people are self motivated. They don't drag 10-ton rocks over hills to "honor" some dead relative unless they benefit. Perhaps they benefit in this life with status or in the next life with some imaginary reward.
1) the statues would have never been siting on their face during the transport!
2) there had been under a big El Niño at the period where the statues were broken and taken down. El Ñiño causes a increase of the temperature of the water and air. The fishes needed to go deeper into the ocean to find their food, so no more fishing with small boats. And the great disturbence on the lands consumed the last of the trees. Those changes on the climat were found in the lake inside the crater
Those prominent statues stood on a strong stone base. The purpose of the statues including their base, was to protect island from the ocean waves ( wave breakers), and to protect shores from washing away. Also, statues could have military purpose; the enemy, seeing from their ships giant silhouettes of people, could change their mind about attacking the islanders. So statues did serve several purposes at once, including worshiping their gods or ancestors.

Lilzoify1 1 year ago
@izzyidl1 latin america or "latin" peoples is a misrepresentation of nomenclature which found its way into the lexicon of the peoples and has propagated a false pretense of inhabitation within the society. this type of false history has a frequency so high around the globe that as a result a hidden history becomes apparent because of such misnomers. it is not so much purposeful but becomes mainstream and incorrect. these ideas need to be corrected to understand the truth

I spent a week on Easter Island in 2002.. amazing experience!! arrived from Tahiti en route to Santiago; found a garden where we could pitch a tent; overlooking the Pacific.. sunrises & sunsets with the moai & horses; cycling.. rented a small Suzuki & drove around the Island to see all the remote moai & crater where they were 'born'.. it is such a fascinating spot on this planet!! have to go back one day with a digital cam!

ever see the machine that moves the spaceshuttle or the huge plane that flys it around? the shuttle itself is 170,000 lbs. these statues are 80 tons. you cannot move them with the hardest trees, let alone soft wood palm trees, they would smash flat. the granite that the statues is made of doesnt even chip when smashed with a hammer and chisel. they had no steel to even work with, so what did they use to even carve the stone? great distances these statues were moved. were they more advanced?

PrairiePie23 2 years ago
The inside of a palm is quite unlike that of a tree. NG made a mistake in either their narration or their filming. The moist tropical forest which would have been the subject of the program, includes a thousand species of broadleaf deciduous and evergreen trees. Think of Fiji or New Zealand.
PrairiePie23 2 years ago
I see that you are in the Philippines, then you are aware of the types of forest I'm talking about. The Mindoro Rain forest is typical and, as in the NG documentary, has been plundered by humans. Are you familiar with it?

Yes I am. And you should also know that palms are trees, and they could also be shrubs and in the tropics even vines.

nice try, biologist/ horticulturist! But you have tried too hard this time. "Tree" is not a technical term. "Tree" is a common term people use to refer plants that grow tall. You will never identify an animal that is called "seagull" in any science books. It's because "seagull" is a common term and not a scientifical term. But still, people keep calling sea birds as seagulls.

rorydathomas452 2 years ago 2
This may be. The point however, is that the islands were not all covered in palms. Depletion of palms was not the problem at all. The Easter Islands were what is known as broad leaf moist tropical forest and it is that specifically that was lost as a resource. Also, palms are very distinctly different and do not always grow tall. What would you call tall? Would you call a banana plant a tree? It is not either.
PrairiePie23 2 years ago 2
Seagulls are still birds. What you are proposing is more akin to referring to seagulls as bats. Or referring to bats as birds.
PrairiePie23 2 years ago
A tree refers to a specific class of plants... and not the height to which they grow.
You can find miniature trees which only grow to a foot or two, or large old growth forests where they soar hundreds of feet into the air.

You honor YOUR OWN ancestors by building the biggest statue. Unless they're inbred they don't all have the same ancestors. They vie for status via their ancestor honor. If that translates into power I guess we'll never know. But if YOUR ancestors have the biggest statue and the most honor YOU by association have the biggest dick. Are you a mouth breathing retard or why is that such a difficult concept for you to comprehend?
BTW it's called "fudge-packing" not "fudge backing." What a moron!
undiesinabunch 2 years ago
Haha, you're fucking stupid and let me count the ways.
If their ancestor had the honor requisite of building such a large statue, then they're not vieing for any kind of status, or superiority, they already have it. So saying they're building statues to see who had the biggest dick is ignorant and uninformed you stupid ball tickling stupid ass.
Also, thank you for correcting my one typo, let me state it again.

You call me "ignorant" and "uninformed." Of what? Your opinion? You offer no facts or sources for facts that I should be informed of or am ignorant of.
My premise is based on the fact that people are self motivated. They don't drag 10-ton rocks over hills to "honor" some dead relative unless they benefit. Perhaps they benefit in this life with status or in the next life with some imaginary reward.

1) the statues would have never been siting on their face during the transport!
2) there had been under a big El Niño at the period where the statues were broken and taken down. El Ñiño causes a increase of the temperature of the water and air. The fishes needed to go deeper into the ocean to find their food, so no more fishing with small boats. And the great disturbence on the lands consumed the last of the trees. Those changes on the climat were found in the lake inside the crater
