MIDDLE OF THE SEA
Islands are usually situated in the middle of the sea. Islands that are too deep in the sea have some mystery. In that way, Bermuda island has its story in history. Easter Island is also one of the mysterious islands in the world.
EASTER ISLAND
Easter Island is situated in the South Pacific Ocean. This island has very less population and less land surface. 63 square miles is the land surface of this island. People living here were Rapa Nui. They are the native people who live here. Nearly 17,000 people were living there before. But now only 7,000 people are living. To reach at least a least populated area, people need to travel 1200 miles. Pitcairn is the island nearer to this island (1200 miles away). To reach a normally populated area, people need to travel another 23 miles from Pitcairn to reach Chile. The most important feature of this island is the Maui Statue. These are greatly weird human-like statues. The face of this statue has a weird nose, eyes, and structure. More than that people here need to carry this statue to spread this statue all over easter island. Accurately, 887 Maui statues are there on this island. A Maui Statue weighs about 90,000 kilograms that are a huge weight to be carried by humans. During the research, they confirmed that these statuses are made within this island. These are transported from other places. This statue was made by the Rapa Nui people. Around 835 statues on this island were made up of Tuff material. This material is formed when Volcano Ash is compressed. All the statues are facing towards the island i.e., their back will be facing the sea. The highest statue found till now is nearly 77 feet and weighs about 297000 kilograms. Every researcher has a doubt about the transportation of this statue within this island as it has a huge weight. The scientist created a similar statue like this and used every technology used to lift this statue but couldn't move. SO, they closed this project and moved away. One day, an American came in and moved a 10 tonne stone easily with a trick. As days passed another best trick emerged. The rope was tied in the eyes of the statue and that rope was divided into 3 chambers. Left, Right, and Back is the position of the ropes where people pull this statue. Left side people pull the statue and on the right side people stayed still. When the right side people pulled the statue left side people stayed still. People catching the rope at back make sure that the statue doesn't fall forward. Through this, they created a simple walking cycle. Even in Rapa Nui history " States are walking with magic " sentence was often used. With this technique, people in ancient times moved it easily. People who were living here were deemed as the best agriculture engineer. The main crop they sowed in was the sweet potato. People also do fishing in the pacific ocean. The statutes here are even going deep inside the earth. These people were considered to be ruined when the Europeans were catching slaves from many islands. First theory proposed for the disappearance of this type of people as they were ruined when they moved the statue through the agricultural fields. But it was then disproven.
