The Easter Islander's Rise And Fall

The first residents of Easter Island showed us the ingenuity of the human spirit and the stupidity that accompanies them. The first group of islanders were Polynesians who arrived in Southeast Asia around the year CE. They are estimated that 20 to 30 people made a huge journey. Through dual canoe innovation, they allow traveling to the island where they can build brilliant civilization. The foundation of civilization is the best culture, which can lead to intense competition among different tribes.

Decline of Easter Island civilization is a terrible story about the impact of resource depletion. Originally, Easter Island was covered with a tropical palm forest, but now it is mainly covered with grass because it used the resource of the island excessively. Residents on the island use trees as houses, firewood and other items, and finally build moai at a rate at which natural resources can not be replenished. As more attention to the moai of buildings gets stronger, relatively pointless movement wastes more and more resources. In areas where a 70 ft moai was abandoned in the quarry, the builder recognized that it is impossible to transport it. When forests were cut down, the topsoil was eroded by the sea, causing crop failure. A civil war has occurred among Easter Island tribes to compete for the remaining resources of the island. Self-feedingism also began, and the islanders believed that they would gain power by eating their enemies.

Easter Island is a small volcanic island located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Chile and Tahiti. Until the island was colonized more than 1,300 years ago it was a small insect and seabird inhabited. In the year AD, Easter Island was colonized by a group of seafarers in Polynesia. It is this social story that brought about great interest and controversy about what happened on Easter Island many years ago. Approximately 1600 years ago, it is said that king Photomathia landed on Anachina Beach on the northern coast of Easter Island. Nearby, he established the first solution, as indicated by the foundations of many buildings in the area and many stone statues (known as Moai). Over time, Polynesian settlers moved to various places on the island, and in the process they formed their own different tribes.

It is thought that residents of Polynesia on Easter Island arrived in Easter Island around 1200 AD. They created a prosperous and diligent culture with many huge stones and other relics on the island. However, the cultivation of the land and the introduction of rats of Polynesia led to a gradual deforestation. By the time it arrived in Europe in 1722, the island's population was estimated at 2,000 - 3,000. European diseases, slave attacks in Peru in the 1860s, and immigrants to other islands such as Tahiti further reduced the population and in 1877 they reduced it to the lowest of 111 local residents.
