Easter Island

Subject: ~~Easter Island~~ Sat Mar 17, 2012 6:45 pm

Easter Island, a 64 square mile speck in the vast Pacific Ocean, perhaps the world's most remote inhabited island, is an enigma in many ways. The gigantic statues of this island won't talk with us. We still don't know much about this lost culture and their bizarre Birdman cult. How the Polynesians got there in the first place, why they built the Moai statues, how they did it, what is their meaning. Why are all facing the same direction, like waiting for something.
Their Rongo-Rongo writing is still undeciphered. This unique written language seems to have appeared suddenly in the 1700s, but within just two centuries it was exiled to obscurity.
