> "Easter Island is an island in the South Pacific Ocean of the earth, called Larapa Nui in the local language, located in the southern part of the earth, 3,000 kilometers west of Chile.

Easter Island is one of the most isolated islands on Earth and is more than 2,000 kilometres away from its nearest inhabited islands, the Pitcairn Islands.

The island is approximately triangular in shape and consists of three volcanoes, similar to those of Juan? The Fernandez Islands are two Chilean possessions in the South Pacific. Easter Island is famous for hundreds of giant stone statues full of mysteries. ”

"Rapa Nui? Stone!! ”

The two of them suddenly screamed, and immediately interrupted Sha Yiqiang's introduction.

The three of them looked at each other suspiciously, and the two of them suddenly looked a little embarrassed. After apologizing, they began to introduce themselves:

"Our two brothers are called Rapa Nui. Hank & Rapa Nui. Hundreds, I'm sure you'll understand a little. Rapa Nui is the name of our family. ”

They were stunned for a moment, and immediately muttered in their hearts: Could it be that this Rapa Nui family has anything to do with Easter Island?

The Rapa Nui brothers understood what the three men were thinking, so they took out a handkerchief from their bosoms and embroidered a humanoid head on it.

The avatar is very distinctive, it wears a high hat, long ears are exposed underneath, a high nose, deep eye sockets, a cocked mouth, and hands on top of the stomach. The three people were stunned when they saw this head: Isn't this the appearance of a stone statue on Easter Island?

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, the Rapa Nui brothers were overjoyed: "Is the same thing about the stone statues on Easter Island that you are talking about?" ”

Sha Yiqiang nodded, and the Rapa Nui brothers were even more excited: "Please also ask the three brothers to carefully introduce the situation on that island, this is related to our family's hope for revival, please help a lot." ”

Sha Yiqiang nodded, so he continued to introduce:

"Easter Island was inaugurated on April 5, 1722 by the Dutch Admiral and the explorer of the Dutch West India Company, Jacob ? A fleet led by Rogwen found.

Rogwen wrote down the location of the island in ink on the nautical chart, and because he found that the island happened to be Christian Easter, he wrote down the "Easter Island" next to it, and the name "Easter Island" became known to the world.

In 1774, the English explorer James ? Captain Cook found the island again. In 1914, Western countries began to conduct related expeditions and research activities on Easter Island.

As for the name Rapa Nui, it comes from the name given to it by the people of the nearby Polynesian archipelago, which means "navel of the earth".

Easter Island is one of the most isolated islands on Earth, also 2,075 kilometers away from the inhabited Pitcairn Islands. The island is approximately triangular in shape and consists of three volcanoes.

There are now about 2,000 people living on the island, all of whom are of Polynesian ethnicity, and before Westerners arrived on the island, it was still in the Stone Age of mankind, and they only had a language, not a written language.

Because the island is full of rocks, there are no crops, only sweet potatoes that are easy to grow. The islanders used to rely on fishing, a few sweet potatoes for their livelihood, and most of them were engaged in the tourism service industry. ”

The Rapa Nui brothers nodded slightly as they listened, and they carefully recorded the descriptions of the three of them, and at the same time called up the star map in the room, marking the location of the earth on it.

The expressions and movements of the two made Ma Tianyuan even more puzzled: Could it be that this Rapa Nui family really has anything to do with Easter Island?

Sha Yiqiang introduced it in more detail: "Easter Island is famous for its stone statues. There are more than 1,000 huge stone statues and the ruins of the Great Rock Castle on the island.

In 1914 and 1934, a detailed survey of the site led to the conclusion that there were three cultural periods on the island.

Scientists have used isotope carbon measurements to measure the stone statues on the island, and found that the earliest small and medium-sized stone statues of various types of stone statues are generally dated to 1680 B.C., long before what we believe to be the Pacific civilization.

Today, Easter Island is dotted with nearly 1,000 huge stone figurines, either lying on the barren slopes of the mountains or lying on the seashore.

Among them, dozens of statues are erected on artificial platforms by the sea, alone or in groups, facing the sea and looking high.

These legless busts are vividly shaped, with a high nose, deep eye sockets, long ears, a cocked mouth, and hands resting on their stomachs.

These stone statues are generally 5-10 meters tall and weigh dozens of tons, and the tallest one is 22 meters and weighs more than 300 tons. Some of the statues also have red stone caps on their heads and weigh up to 10 tons.

Known locally as 'Moai', these statues are carved out of dark basalt, tuff, and some are inlaid with shells to form eyes.

We used to think that these statues were used by the Easter Islanders to commemorate their ancestors, but later it turned out that it was unlikely.

All the stone statues share the same features - high noses and thin lips, which are typical of another race, and the island's inhabitants are Polynesians, who do not have this characteristic at all.

Sculpture is an art that always contains the characteristics of that people, and the shape of these stone statues does not have the characteristics of the Polynesians. They wouldn't be the ancestors of the Polynesians who lived on the island, and the statues could not have been in their memory.

In addition, from another point of view, it is difficult for the people on the island to complete such a large carving project with primitive stone tools thousands of years ago.

It has been estimated that 2,000 years ago, the island could only provide enough food to feed 2,000 people, and in the very unproductive Stone Age, where did they have the time to do these carvings, when they had to work diligently every day to find food to feed themselves?

Moreover, the stone statues are highly artistic, and experts are amazed by these "ingenious skills". Even modern people are not capable of it, so we can't believe that the Polynesians of the Stone Age were all artists who were good at carving.

There is also a theory, but it must not be confirmed, that the stone statues were not carved by the islanders, but by aliens who were more civilized than on Earth. For a certain purpose and request, they chose this isolated island in the Pacific Ocean and built these stone statues.

But this statement is even more bizarre, because the island has discarded a large number of dull stone tools, and we cannot believe that aliens, who are more civilized than earthlings, would use these primitive stone tools to complete these statues. ”

Hearing Sha Yiqiang's introduction to the stone statues, the Rapa Nui brothers unfolded the handkerchief again: "Are those stone statues the same as this picture?" ”

Sha Yiqiang nodded: "It's exactly the same, if it hadn't appeared in the hands of Planet Lua and your two brothers, I would have thought that what you took out was a souvenir of a tourist scenic spot." ”
