The Mystery of Rapa Nui - What caused the fall of Easter Island?

They cut down 16 million trees to make a huge boat to escape the island, but it sank hundreds of miles at sea killing all onboard.

Nothing has been proven from this island. STFU

humans destroy everything

The motto of this documentary: When you build Moai, it never ends well.

Giorgio Tsouklos isn't saying it was Aliens, but it was Aliens.

Waste of time...bottom line here is, We don't know.

Wait what? He uses a mobile spectroscopy device but needs a balloon instead of a drone? Lol

it is a shame to waste research money resulting in such ridiculous and unproven theories

Quick search says some palm trees only live 40-50 years, guessing at a certain tipping point they where cut down faster than the reproduced. They couldn't just go next door for wood, and let the trees on the home island replenish itself.

Nope sure can't. you are all guessing as you have always done. Anything to push the global cabals crap Climet change crap.

Speculations.

..Heyerdahl's hypothesis was that there were had been two cultural epochs on Easter Island, the first from South America which was then over run by people from Polynesia. What he called the 'Long Ears' and the 'Short Ears'. The stone fitting of the Vinapu wall and other stone structures is clearly South American, the scratchings of bird gods are probably Polynesian. Interestingly, No mention of the three - masted square rigged vessel carved into the belly of one of the moai on the outward slope of southern volcanic caldera which was unearthed by Heyerdahl's expedition in the '50s. Probably the moai were toppled by earthquakes..this is a volcanic island.

Maybe it was a tsunami

Maybe it was rats that ate the roots of the trees

I guess its because of the Rodents. or ther colossal invaders cut down the palm trees.

Sabi ko na nga ba, Bec of the Rodents/rats. Ive been to Chile and have accomplish a scientific Research..

I got told maoris that were tapu would get buired in rapa nui back in the days

A storm can easily destroy a coconut plantation.

Terrible introductory overview ... very poor information ... not worth watching.

The pre-Columbian Polynesian - South American contact theory makes perfect sense.

undoubtedly human compitetion and rivalry leading to depletion of resources and general lack of foresight But lets just blame the coming of white man and his deseases that made locals want to topple statues

This is to learn the lesson, stop living outside of self. Find a different way to connect.

Civilization destroyed them w disease.

When you see these great monuments of human beings, that they were ablet to carve and move such huge statues in such huge numbers, with only simple stone tools, without wheels or metal, it is a true testament to the achievements of our past......

....and it is also deeply offensive how there are some, who would attribute these human achievements to the nonsense of ancient aliens, basically trying to strip credit of the Moai from the Rapa Nui people, to some beings of fiction that they invent, which is a very racist thing to do.

This was definitely a Buster Call its a military strategy when they burn and destroy everything of a civilization in hopes of erasing it from HIStory. I'm not sure what's so important on that island but someone is trying to get rid of it

This gives too much credit to Hawaiians when in fact they aren’t even sure what type of Polynesians actually “discovered” the island

Lol this sht cracks me up 🤣..people have no idea..their yuck rats ruined everything.

i just cant sleep if i dont know the truth

Yhose stayus eas roll on cocunut tree

The ancestors were very intelligent people. Their understanding of land and sea was unmatched. No way they cut down 16 million trees

Ancient high advanced civilization

Shipwrecked survivors over 10,000 years ago, fleeing the ice age, stranded on this uninhabitable volcanic island without usable soil, but warm. By investigating the island itself, it was accidentally discovered that the palm grows on some kind of volcanic rock that contains minerals. By crushing stones, they obtained usable land. The crushing process itself started with smaller Moai as a pestle to a mortar. Over the thousands of years progressed to the ultimate figures for terraforming, more effective scales of civilization as well as the supreme balancing of Moai riders. The volcano gave, the volcano also took away, the ingenious Stone civilization vanished in flame by leaving Moais as indestructible culture.

Man caused it’s down fall. We are the biggest parasite on this planet.

Slavery Thanks to Captain Cook. Biggest slaver of the time.

Yea rats definitely didn’t destroy the coconut trees.

People in their desperation blindside the consequences of their actions. Just one more...

MORE A CASE OF GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT TO BE HONEST.

"Eating the flesh of the dead was a necessity in order to survive" There must have been a whole lotta dying people if cannibalism was a mainstay in survival. Pretty sure I could skip a meal or two if all we had to eat on for a few days was grandpa.

15. The father the son the holy spirit and the twelve apostles

FYI. They were not coconut palms…..they cleared land for sweet potato farming note… Easter Island is in the sub tropics NOT the tropics

Just say yes.. of course it was aliens

Sweet potatoes are from south america, they mentioned it as a staple in their diet and farming but not that it implicates their contact with the americas. They mention possible contact in other ways but the fact they grew sweet potatoes is quite a compelling part of that theory

Germans are people with limitations.

Rapa NUi, lol it is amazing what people ( Landscapers) will to get sci fi movies to sell?!

Y don’t thy grow fruit trees or more palms

Hawaiki tuamotu islands of fakarava
