The Mystery of Easter Island

Few places are more remote and isolated, but it was here that a totally different and unique civilization developed unlike any other. We still to this day cannot or perhaps will not decifer the Rongorongo wooden tablets written in an ancient languge that is lost to us.

The Mystery of Easter Island is that we do not know the truth of what happened. The Catholic Priests claim that the natives were savage cannibals, but others say that the people of Easter Island called Pascuans or Rapaniu are friendly and peaceful like all Polynesians. The truth will elude us unless of course we travel back in time and see what did happen.

It is interesting that the ancient legends speak of coming from a strange land called "Hiva".
