Easter Island: History and Mysteries

Easter Island is a small, isolated island located thousands of kilometers off the coast of Chile in the Pacific Ocean that was once home to many more people. Scientists believe the original inhabitants may have discovered the island by accident and that around 100 people may have first landed on its western coast. However, the population increased too rapidly, and the inhabitants must have used up all the available food on the island, ultimately causing all of them to die. The massive Easter Island statues are famous but the reasons for their construction and presence in such large numbers remains unknown - they might be religious gods or the island could have once been part of a larger landmass. The statues are very large and heavy, making it unclear how the inhabitants might have moved

EASTER
ISLAND

Easter Island, 3,000 km off the coast of Chile in the Pacific Ocean is very far from land. Today, it
is a small island with few people or trees, but at one time a lot of people lived there. Scientists
believe that the original inhabitants may discover the island by accident. Around
100 people may land on the western coast of the
island.
But then the number of inhabitants increased too quickly. Scientists agree that the inhabitants
must use up all the food on the island and finally all died.
The Easter Island statues are famous, but nobody knows why they are there or why there are so
many. The statues might be gods, or Easter Island could be part of a much bigger island. The
statues are very large and heavy, so they can’t be easy to move. Scientists still do not know how
the inhabitants might do this

might do this
must use up all the food
can’t be easy
may discover the island
