The natives called it Rapa Nui (Great Rapa) or Te
Pito the Henua (Navel of the World).
The island is 14 miles long by seven wide, in a
triangular shape. For a total area of 63 square
miles.
5.
The statues are along the coast of the Island.
The island received its modern name by Admiral
Roggeveen, who landed there on Easter Day, 1722.

6.
The island was settled around 1000 AD by
Polynesians who came across the Pacific from the
west.
An amazing feat of sailing if you consider how far it
was from their home islands and how small the
island is.
Easter Island
7.
The island was formed by three volcanoes.
They were opened up by the Nazca Plate moving
over the Easter hotspot.

The culture that built the statues was destroyed as
the island’s ecosystem went out of balance.
Then slave traders almost wiped out what was left
of the indigenous population.

The best estimate is that the statues were carved,
moved and emplaced to honor notables who had
died.
They weigh up to 86 tons. While many think they
are just heads, they are complete bodies, most of
which is buried.

Discovered on Easter Island were wood tablets
bearing Rongorongo glyphs, or basic writing using
symbols.
It is uncertain how this writing developed.

Area 51: The ReplyWhen they uncovered the truth about Area 51,
scientist Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer
Mike Turcotte revealed the secret history of
decades of UFO sightings and extraterrestrial
contact. But that history goes back much further
than they could have possibly imagined…
Hidden deep beneath the waters around Easter
Island is a giant supercomputer called the
Guardian, and it has just sent a message into outer
space. When the reply comes, it will signal the
execution of an alien plan millennia in the making;
after five thousand years, “they” are coming back.
But who are they and what do they want?
As the extraterrestrials race toward Earth, Duncan
and Turcotte must scramble across the globe, from
the Rift Valley of Ethiopia to an ancient Chinese
tomb, to determine the aliens’ true intentions. If
they fail, first contact with these visitors could mean
last rites for the human race.
