Mystery of Easter Island |
|
|
The Easter Island was a completely new world for the early settlers from Europe. Imagine the wonder and awe with which Jacob Roggeveen and his Dutch team of sailors would have watched the stone giants of the island standing as a guard to approaching enemies. If only they could really save the ancient civilization of the Rapa
Nuis from being wiped off clean by the white invaders! It is perhaps too late to unveil the mystery of the Easter Island, |
|
| with only bits and pieces left over from a culture that was wonderfully strange and mysterious for those who came by ship to conquer the land and became its masters.The answers are many, so are the questions. |
|
Archaeologists to travelers, anthropologists to journalists, different people have suggested at different times how the stone men came to stand on the island and who made them, yet no answer seems to satisfy anybody. Diffusionist theories (the statues and shrines are built by people from other places), sunken continent theory (related to the Atlantis group), aliens, anti-gravity, laser beams, natural disasters, elephants (yes! Imagination runs wild!), disturbed minds (hmm!) –
|
|
|
| all these have been suggested by people who are bent to find out who built the giant stone monoliths, called Moai. The Rongorongo script, which has been found to be carved on wooden boards on the island and has not been deciphered yet has enticed researching minds long enough. Energetic minds are still working overtime to reach a perfect solution. Perhaps a time machine can only put all curious minds to rest.
