Can the mystery of *Easter Island* finally be solved? Join us as we expose the shocking truth behind the collapse of the ancient *Rapa Nui* civilization.
From paradise to catastrophe: Discover how a thriving society of 4,000 *Rapa Nui* people was decimated to just 111 survivors. Our investigation reveals why the long-held myth of self-destruction on *Easter Island* is wrong. Through groundbreaking archaeology, we show how these masterful builders of the Moai statues were sophisticated engineers, not primitive destroyers.
Experience the incredible journey of the Moai, as we demonstrate how these massive stone guardians were actually transported across Easter Island. Using cutting-edge research, we challenge decades of misinformation about Rapa Nui’s past and reveal how European diseases, Peruvian slave raids, and even America’s Civil War led to this civilization’s devastating decline.
Watch how the isolated paradise of Easter Island transformed into a decimated society. But this isn’t just a story of collapse – discover how modern Rapa Nui descendants are keeping their ancient traditions alive and reclaiming their true history.
