Easter island this guy came across it on easter sunday. Populated by primitive ppl, most primitive ppl he has ever seen ppl living in caves, most ppl survive off cannibalism, constant warfare. There were signs on the island of a highly developed and sophisticated society that lived there before stone statues. Alot of ceremonial platforms made of stone, carved of various forms of writings, and aligned with star systems. Conclusion he said was that the ppl he encountered could not possibly be the result of the ppl that lived there. The 1st settlements of easter island was during decline of roman empire, it developed rapidly, and then followed to decline. There are no forests there currently, but there wer forests there one day to carry the stones across the island from the centre of the island which has the rock quarry mine.
