Easter Island - Rapa Nui, is a tiny speck of land in the South Pacific. Formed by a series of massive volcanic eruptions, the island was only inhabited by sea birds and dragonflies for millions of years. Its steep slopes, however, stood out like a beacon to a weary group of Polynesian seafarers. How long their voyage took or their reasons for leaving their home country are questions that we'll never have the answer to, but we can imagine their joy at seeing this sight after what must have been months at sea. My theory is that the moai migrated to south America then travelled north passing peru into central America ,finally they settled in the gulf of mexico by this time the moai no longer are known as moai but became to be known as the olmec from la venta to lake tlapacoya it shows Olmec influences in the archaeological record also this places are close to water (olmec) simply means rubber people the features of olmec people clearly shows that the olmec were big people back then names were given by description the maori have a strong influence in the islands i think that the moai might have been a tribe of islanders from New Zealand Māori, Cook Islands Maori, Tahitian.
OLMEC DECLINE: It is not known with any clarity what caused the eventual extinction of the Olmec culture. It is known that between 400 and 350 BCE population in the eastern half of the Olmec heartland dropped precipitously, and the area would remain sparsely inhabited until the 19th century.

http://www.pacificislandtravel.com/easter_island/excursions/excursions_intro.html I read many magazines, from all over the political and religious spectrum, but New Dawn is the one periodical I most look forward to each issue. It never fails to deliver provoking political analysis, hard-to-find esoteric insights, and valuable pointers to health alternatives. Do I agree with everything it prints? Certainly not. But there is nothing quite so stimulating as well-written articles challenging ones unexamined assumptions about the world we live in. New Dawn is hard to put down or pin down. In short, its a great magazine. Jay Kinney, Publisher of GNOSIS magazine (1985-1999)
The first issue of New Dawn magazine appeared in May 1991 in Melbourne, Australia. From humble beginnings New Dawn has expanded into a unique bi-monthly publication distributed nationally throughout Australia and New Zealand, with a growing international readership.
For more than 15 years New Dawn has been presenting news and information ignored or deliberately suppressed by the mainstream media.
New Dawn is committed to providing you with straightforward reporting and analysis of behind the scenes events. Tackling issues and subjects the corporate controlled press often refuses to touch. Offering challenging perspectives on world affairs and global trends.
New Dawn also explores new ideas and ancient beliefs, while encouraging greater awareness and critical thinking. Each thought-provoking issue examines the hidden dimension of culture, history and religion in a non-dogmatic manner.

Here's what people are saying about New Dawn:
"Fresh, vibrant, and always surprising, New Dawn is a constant reminder that reality is rarely what it appears to be. One of very few magazines I enjoy reading today." Richard Smoley, author of Inner Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition and former editor of GNOSIS
"In this world there are very few high-quality publications that will publish truly controversial articles on subjects that are generally regarded as taboo. For example, I have been privileged to write serious and well-documented articles for New Dawn on the bacterial cause of cancer, the man-made epidemic of AIDS, the human radiation experiments, and the dangers of vaccine programs. What 'mainstream' publication can you think of that would dare publish such material? I am delighted that New Dawn exists — and I am honoured to contribute to it." Alan Cantwell, M.D., author of AIDS and the Doctors of Death
"There are few magazines as unique as New Dawn, combining a genuine understanding of the occult basis of the New Age, a healthy respect for all traditions, and hard-hittting unflinching political analysis always with a positive eye on the future." Jose Argüelles (aka Valum Votan), author of Time and the Technosphere
"New Dawn magazine is one of the best sources of realistic information on the state of things in our world as it nears its inevitable and predicted end. For some people it could seem to be a little bit strange and weird, phantasmagoric... But the reality in which we live is itself something strange and weird... New Dawn magazine helps us to persist. And gives us hope for the better world that is coming..." Alexandre Dugin, leader of International Eurasian Movement
