S1 E5 Easter Island

Easter Island, or as its known to its inhabitants Rapa Nui, is one of the most remote places on the planet.  In this episode, I’ll discuss how the first people made it to the island, the insights their “oral traditions” reveal and how European contact turned the whole place on its head.  There’s much more to the Rapa Nui than the amazing statues they erected.  Those famous Moai will also be discussed, but spoiler alert – they had nothing to do with aliens!
