My thoughts too. But what is actually weirder than Christo hiding historical buildings behind cloth, like a curtain in a theatre, or a Warhol painting. None of these will survive 10 thousand years except maybe some stone remnants of these buildings. Modern stuff is not build for "eternity", although there is that notion of sustainability, which in turn is actually focussing more on non-pollution, meaning as well that even less will be left-over for a future population to wonder about.
Yes, people who assign the task to basic primitive tools don't account for the time consumed and the labour required and the motivation for those people to do this gigantic task lasting many decades. Why would you do this if it was not easy and done within a few weeks/months before weather changes, food becomes short etc. (Also not accounting for people required, mathematics and logistics, and other machinery for achieving this even if not done easily)
I agree but I would like Polynesians to get some credit, we were not stupid savages we had sophisticated culture and inventions of our own. Navigating the pacific using the star patterns and environmental cues is an amazing human accomplishment.

The fact that there is older megalithic type stone walls is the most mind bending discovery, it proves that there was a high civilization that was globally in size.
The romans made amazing statues, megalithic stone walls and was masters at stone work. Much better than the egyptians. They used simple tools, manpower and time. We do not need any "high civilization" or "ancient high tech" to explain the stone work showed in ANY of Brian`s videos. Brian has also showed that he does not know how a compass works, how Mohs scale work and what known civilisations could do with very simple tools. He even stands on known roman sites, pointing at roman megalithic stones, with easy to see marks after well known (found and documented) roman stone tools....and conclude its from an unknown civilization.......just based on its size.

The geography of the island is interesting. It is the most isolated island in the world when counting the distance to nearest island. It is also the westernmost point of South America. Maybe that is why it was named Te Pito O Te Whenua, which can mean "the end of the earth" or "the navel of the earth"
Thank you again Brien. Another fascinating film. I only wish i was healthy enough to travel to these amazing places. Having you tour them with your camera and explain the mystery and the scarcely explained (by accepted theory) is the next best thing. I look forward to every video you put up. If my school teachers when i was a young boy had created half the interest you do for searching for answers they would have been the most memorable and successful teachers ever! . As it is i barely remember the dull and repetative dreary history lessons long since buried away in some disinterested corner of the mind or indeed who taught me it. I think they should make the kids watch this stuff. Show them not everything is cut and dried, complete and finished as they might think. There are mysteries to be solved still.

You say this is the tropics, but at 27 degrees latitude, Easter Island is outside of the tropics and is subtropical. Just looking at the clothes your group is wearing you can see it is much colder than any tropical island ever gets.
Thank you for another amazing video. It blew my mind when it was discovered that the heads are actually full bodied, mostly buried in the dirt. I can only imagine how much more is buried , especially the megalithic wall structure on the island. What mystery we have shrouded in the sands of time!! Thank you Brien!
This place has fascinated me since I saw the statues in a book when I was a kid. I wonder how much underwater archeology has been done around the island, I'll gladly volunteer. I'm a diffusionist, I believe there was much travel between the continents and ancient people knew where these islands were.
Got to remember that in the das of the megalithic culture, sea levels were much lower. That means this tiny speck of an island could have been much bigger in land area. Has anyone researched the continental shelf surrounding the island?
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIVE INTO THE WATERS AROUND THIS ISLAND. Because the sea levels were down lower meaning if their are Moe statues at lower levels THEY MUST PREDATE anyone else’s arrival in modern times (ie before the Polynesians)🗿 .
@@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster strange to me that the only thing these giants left behind were replicas of themselves or their idols, no buildings of any purpose.
@@nwofoe2866 Their buildings were most probably made out of wood. If they had a trade rout going to South America (their home) it would be much easier just to import wood then to make houses out of stone.
Its possible that survivors of the end of the ice age lingered in a few places, like here. And built the megaliths. That wall looks a lot like what is found in Peru.
Judging by the head of a standing moa in front of the wall, I bet the megalithic wall could go down in dirt debris 30 or 50 feet below the current ground level.
Brian you are a great narrative guide. Your oration is perfectly suited. That alone justifies your occupation no matter what the tentative history behind is and who's right or wrong about it.
As much as I don’t know or understand when or how these structures were made, I find it equally puzzling on why. And so many! 950 statues to do what? A strange number indeed. Keep up the good work!
Great video, thanks for sharing. It is lovely to see all of those monuments and landscape of the Eaaster Island for 50 minutes. Greetings from an independent researcher and growing RUclipsr of the ancient mysteries😊😊😊

That one Moai head that fell & is half buried on it's back has Absolutely Massive weathering & Erosion. For Basalt to erode that much takes an extremely long period of time.
Does anybody consider the theory of bigger size people (giants) built the megalithic parts of this structures and even the old Moais? And we can see the same all over the America,there is Mayan templos with the same megalithic and on top the smaller rock construction, Cuzco and sacsayhuaman ,etc
Fully agree with Brien's core eye and mind opening concept of Lost Ancient Civilizations being responsible for megalithic constructions all over the world, as he has brilliantly shown thru many of his videos... Serious, logical thinking which deserves to be taken seriously by the scientific community, unable so far to tackle those megalithic works, impossible to be built by known civilizations: Egyptians, Incas and so forth with their simple tools...

Yeah. Nobod´s ever had red hair in the existence so why even theorize some1 might have had red hair. Did cheeses haz red hair? In some renditions maybe but is prolly artist interpretation based on some questionable antics. *No* There was no red haired peeps ever on dis planet of cheeses. U must dislike goods if u even consider the possibiliteez.
...I am wagering the same people that built the wall(s) at Sachsayhuaman [spelling] in Bolivia (?){ help me out here Brien, it's 0320 in the morning}, also built these walls....
Perhaps the islands generate a turbulence in the water, as the planes leave behind them a contrail, and this is how the ancient navigators found them all.
1:23 The first egg find tradition is also existing in Frisia, Netherlands, albeit without the swimming to an island. This first egg was originally offered to the king or queen. Note that the Dutch word for island is eiland, (Frisian 'eilân') while 'ei' means egg.
Watch more of Brien’s videos about the red haired Paracas elongated skulls found in South America. Brien theorizes that those people left the western Asian Black Sea area over 2000 years ago and moved east going through New Zealand and ending up in South America. I think right now Brien is trying to figure out if some of those red haired large headed individuals also stopped and remained at Easter Island.
Hello Brien, thanks for the beautiful video and interesting sights. I am wondering about the following: How come people started architecture and construction with rectangular, exactly straight shapes? There must be a point in the time line of a culture. Before that, eg. they made a lot of stuff but it was kind of round, organic, natural, also houses and their boats, made from trees. So if the Polynesians arrived, they might have seen straight, rectangular "ahu" places, and a number of the older statues. They thought, that people were there before, and they admired them for this, but they were gone. Thus, a legend that they would one day return, and bring something great, and remove the hunger. Perhaps, that's why they started to imitate their works, like new Moai and new Ahu places. But more in general, the megalithic wall that resembles those in Sacsayhuaman and other places, these are extremely early rectangular and polygonal structures with precise, straight lines. So it would be interesting not only to follow the technology, but the traces of the idea and style itself. You did not mention any suspicion about the age of the megalithic wall on Rapa Nui. Could this be 12000 years old, or how old at all is the island itself? Was there any technical examination about the age of this structure? How old is the crater - same as the island?
Maybe, the reason of the sharp lines has something to do with the tools they use to paint!? Try to paint the same picture on Paper and also on wax... The wax most likely will be with sharp lines.... Just something to think about...
Trial and error? Like it is said that the first megastructures are pyramid in shape...easiest form. Build a floor on top a slightly larger floor until you run out of space. I don't know his opinion, but I recall reading from alleged good lit. that the Polynesians likely first arrived and settled the island in the early first AD centuries....not even 2000 years ago.
Our Atlantean forefathers chose this island as the place of landscape geometry thousands of years ago, because the island was triangular...Later, after the flood, we made our way back there in a desperate attempt for salvation....which was never to come.
Once again I would like to know what destroyed the Megalithic structure like the one at 5:03. It's primarily the same thing I ask at every ancient megalithic destroyed structure around the planet. It's sort of scary, what catastrophic event happened in the past may happen again.
Those (in)famous eyes looking skyward were painted onto the Moai by National Geographic "scientists" in around 1936 or so. The eyes that WERE eventually excavated are looking striaght ahead, TOWARD the Island.
It's hard to come up with a scenario where by the mega builder civilization was wiped out, yes many of their constructs are badly damaged but even so such an advanced civilization would have seen that event coming, It just seems as though they would have easily survived even a wide scale atomic war with the only real threat able to kill them all being a bio weapon but even that seems unlikely to have gotten them all given how spread out they were but then again their enemies, and there must have been some because these guys had mother nature wipped, must have been equally advanced if not more so. Maybe they are still around but have sufficiently advanced their tech so much that they are undetectable by us primates.
Apparently one can see a pattern in the waves if an Island stands in the, wake_of_the_waves from winds...thus a pattern of wave could indicate an island. Like , the bullet straight waves that surfers like, and an island would interrupt the pattern of a wave. Waves will hold that pattern for thousands of miles. So with stars and an observant young person, opportunity would beckon by the waves that tell a story of what interrupted them.
The same beings thst were everywhere you find megalithic work,globally,trouble is,any information has been hidden by the current controllers of this epoch
That whole landscape wasnt no island the land masses was contected and much larger a lot of structures are in the ocean hiding the earth went tru a reset time
In polynesian language Moai or Mo ai which is translated in english as a question "Who for?" if it is "Moa i" is translated as "Bird here" or "Center here"
26:28 it's interesting that there are 7 statues looking up at the stars... Perhaps a connection with the Pleades star cluster. Far more interesting to me is the thought that there is a certain shell that is only found naturally in Polynesian islands, that is sacred to the Anishinaabe/Ojibwe, and they always select 7 shells to make their water drum, representing the 7 GRANDFATHERS. Could these statues represent the 7 grandfathers?
...... They literally deforested an entire island and then destroyed themselves in a Civil War. I don't understand what you think that has to do with anything but it's a perfect example of why human beings are evil that's for sure.
The sheer amount of massive, usually largest of they're kind, unfinished blocks/obelisks/statues all around the planet is proof in itself for an older advanced civilization
That´s a funny conclusion to draw from the evidence. Ask yourself a question: Are the ancient peoples still here? Answer should be : *no*. So who is smart, the peeps still around or those perished? *Not the 1´s perished 4 shore? right?*
I can't help but wonder if any genetic samples of the older Polynesian inhabitants have ever been collected and studied for other variants within their family trees to account for the known mixed skin and hair colors that existed when first visited by the European explorers?
why nobody talks about the elephant in the room in regards easter: if moais are interred, what other megalithic constructions are at moai bottom level? i understand why nobody wants to answer that question, would mean to turn the entire island into an archeological excavation
Wow, they had red hair, luck for you they didn't have green stone to work. Oh and the giant statues, that means to pre polyneasians were gian't too, right. lol
A quant little island with a long name, and a bit of a mystery. Did the change of currents bring different ethnic groups to the Island, or did Storms play a role in its past history. Following the Rock or chance or both...
If that was excavated 20 ft deep then what else is buried 20 ft under the ground
Questions we aren't allowed to ask #1 😂 just like in New Zealand...
I agree. Many megalithic sites deserve a closer look under the soil. Easter Island, for sure.
Good question dear watts! Let's get to the bottom of it!!

People really don't realize how massive of an operation those stone statues took. Surveying, digging, mining, excavating, transporting, shaping/chiseling , polishing, transported again to their final destination.
I probably missed steps to the operation, and that was in a nutshell!
Something really weird was going on in the ancient World, I can't wait for us to find more answers.
My thoughts too. But what is actually weirder than Christo hiding historical buildings behind cloth, like a curtain in a theatre, or a Warhol painting.
None of these will survive 10 thousand years except maybe some stone remnants of these buildings. Modern stuff is not build for "eternity", although there is that notion of sustainability, which in turn is actually focussing more on non-pollution, meaning as well that even less will be left-over for a future population to wonder about.
Yes, people who assign the task to basic primitive tools don't account for the time consumed and the labour required and the motivation for those people to do this gigantic task lasting many decades.

AMAZING BRILLIANT BEAUTIFUL , GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO BRIEN . BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDS FROM THE BEGINING .
Ingenious chicken coops!!! The addition of a closed yard to maximize fertilization of banana tree is genius !!
Id love to have a beer with Brien Foerster alone and hear what he really thinks of ancient civilizations.
Best theory rn is the Cham people being there before Polynesians
Perhaps the islands generate a turbulence in the water, as the planes leave behind them a contrail, and this is how the ancient navigators found them all.
The stone work is the same as many very ancient sites around the world,very evident of pre history civilisations,very interesting.
Especially Peru...
1:23 The first egg find tradition is also existing in Frisia, Netherlands, albeit without the swimming to an island. This first egg was originally offered to the king or queen.
Note that the Dutch word for island is eiland, (Frisian 'eilân') while 'ei' means egg.
i wonder if the story could be an apocryphal projection of dutch myth onto the native culture ... it was the dutch who first at easter island, no?
I’m poly and my beard is red. Not sure why. None of my known ancestry or siblings had red anything.
Watch more of Brien’s videos about the red haired Paracas elongated skulls found in South America. Brien theorizes that those people left the western Asian Black Sea area over 2000 years ago and moved east going through New Zealand and ending up in South America. I think right now Brien is trying to figure out if some of those red haired large headed individuals also stopped and remained at Easter Island.
AWESOME, just what I wanted to see.
Most doc do not cover the ground like this, very comprehensive.
to answer that question quick. Nobody. People tend to make things from big stones to leave something that lasts.
Fantastic footage, thanks.
Best content on the internet!! Cheers from Detroit!
Hello Brien, thanks for the beautiful video and interesting sights.
I am wondering about the following:
How come people started architecture and construction with rectangular, exactly straight shapes?
There must be a point in the time line of a culture.
Before that, eg. they made a lot of stuff but it was kind of round, organic, natural, also houses and their boats, made from trees.
So if the Polynesians arrived, they might have seen straight, rectangular "ahu" places, and a number of the older statues.
They thought, that people were there before, and they admired them for this, but they were gone.
Thus, a legend that they would one day return, and bring something great, and remove the hunger.
Perhaps, that's why they started to imitate their works, like new Moai and new Ahu places.
But more in general, the megalithic wall that resembles those in Sacsayhuaman and other places, these are extremely early rectangular and polygonal structures with precise, straight lines.
So it would be interesting not only to follow the technology, but the traces of the idea and style itself.
You did not mention any suspicion about the age of the megalithic wall on Rapa Nui. Could this be 12000 years old, or how old at all is the island itself?
Was there any technical examination about the age of this structure? How old is the crater - same as the island?
Maybe, the reason of the sharp lines has something to do with the tools they use to paint!?
Try to paint the same picture on Paper and also on wax...
The wax most likely will be with sharp lines....
Just something to think about...
Trial and error? Like it is said that the first megastructures are pyramid in shape...easiest form. Build a floor on top a slightly larger floor until you run out of space. I don't know his opinion, but I recall reading from alleged good lit. that the Polynesians likely first arrived and settled the island in the early first AD centuries....not even 2000 years ago.
Why would these people make these statues for what reason when surely survival was more important to them?
Your work is really good really enjoy it
Love watching your videos.
Does anyone know if the megalithic walls go deeper than what we see in the video? How much of the island is still buried in unexcavated ground?
Our Atlantean forefathers chose this island as the place of landscape geometry thousands of years ago, because the island was triangular...Later, after the flood, we made our way back there in a desperate attempt for salvation....which was never to come.
fantasy nonsense
The Flood buried those heads...
Awesome video! Now i am encouraged to go exploring!
Once again I would like to know what destroyed the Megalithic structure like the one at 5:03. It's primarily the same thing I ask at every ancient megalithic destroyed structure around the planet.
It's sort of scary, what catastrophic event happened in the past may happen again.
There were giants on those days.
Those (in)famous eyes looking skyward were painted onto the Moai by National Geographic "scientists" in around 1936 or so. The eyes that WERE eventually excavated are looking striaght ahead, TOWARD the Island.
not painted
Strange, that in all the works we have read about Easter Island, no mention of those megalithic constructions got mention.
This is a truly great production, Brien.
So nice to see so much of the Island and of course the mega-informative narration. ☮️
Are those blocks sourced from the island?
Were there wells dug? How did they get their water source? Any metal found? Copper, bronze or iron?
What was your take on the type of tool markings on the ones unfinished in the quarry?
none
It's hard to come up with a scenario where by the mega builder civilization was wiped out, yes many of their constructs are badly damaged but even so such an advanced civilization would have seen that event coming, It just seems as though they would have easily survived even a wide scale atomic war with the only real threat able to kill them all being a bio weapon but even that seems unlikely to have gotten them all given how spread out they were but then again their enemies, and there must have been some because these guys had mother nature wipped, must have been equally advanced if not more so. Maybe they are still around but have sufficiently advanced their tech so much that they are undetectable by us primates.
Is there a map of Easter Island, with the different types of stonework marked on to it?
So of the 10,000 original inhabitants none of the supposed red heads or blondes survived?
don't forget similar to Japanese megalithic remnants
Apparently one can see a pattern in the waves if an Island stands in the, wake_of_the_waves from winds...thus a pattern of wave could indicate an island. Like , the bullet straight waves that surfers like, and an island would interrupt the pattern of a wave. Waves will hold that pattern for thousands of miles. So with stars and an observant young person, opportunity would beckon by the waves that tell a story of what interrupted them.
The same beings thst were everywhere you find megalithic work,globally,trouble is,any information has been hidden by the current controllers of this epoch
Thank You Brian , Liked , Shared and Learned new stuff :) QC
That whole landscape wasnt no island the land masses was contected and much larger a lot of structures are in the ocean hiding the earth went tru a reset time
In polynesian language Moai or Mo ai which is translated in english as a question "Who for?" if it is "Moa i" is translated as "Bird here" or "Center here"
Dunno what language u mean but in nz maori mokai, mo'ai, means slave, moko mokai is a slave.
26:28 it's interesting that there are 7 statues looking up at the stars... Perhaps a connection with the Pleades star cluster.
Far more interesting to me is the thought that there is a certain shell that is only found naturally in Polynesian islands, that is sacred to the Anishinaabe/Ojibwe, and they always select 7 shells to make their water drum, representing the 7 GRANDFATHERS.
Could these statues represent the 7 grandfathers?
Do the topknots have braids carved into them? I could have sworn that's what I saw on the first one.
Which direction do the 7 face that look out to the ocean ?
Is that towards Peru?
What a wonderful video!!
20:20 How do you shape steel with steel?
Wow absolutely magnificent shots Brien! 👌🏼 What’s down in the crater? Looks like a type of swampland or something
Wonderful Brien, LOVE this one. Are there any remains of the “long ear” people known? Unlikely DNA would remain intact but ya never know….
The poor people did the right thing killing off the nobility. We have the same problem in the USA.
...... They literally deforested an entire island and then destroyed themselves in a Civil War. I don't understand what you think that has to do with anything but it's a perfect example of why human beings are evil that's for sure.
The sheer amount of massive, usually largest of they're kind, unfinished blocks/obelisks/statues all around the planet is proof in itself for an older advanced civilization
The ancient people were so much more smarter then us today
Nope
That´s a funny conclusion to draw from the evidence. Ask yourself a question: Are the ancient peoples still here? Answer should be : *no*.
So who is smart, the peeps still around or those perished? *Not the 1´s perished 4 shore? right?*
They liked to spend their time cutting and moving ridiculously large lumps of rock...
Awesome video. What was going on there?
Thank you, Brien. 😍😍
I can't help but wonder if any genetic samples of the older Polynesian inhabitants have ever been collected and studied for other variants within their family trees to account for the known mixed skin and hair colors that existed when first visited by the European explorers?
why nobody talks about the elephant in the room in regards easter: if moais are interred, what other megalithic constructions are at moai bottom level? i understand why nobody wants to answer that question, would mean to turn the entire island into an archeological excavation
That's a really good question because the secret that island has would change history n religions of the world. They rather nuke it.
Are there also ancient drawings and / or carvings in the tunnel system ??
Wow, they had red hair, luck for you they didn't have green stone to work. Oh and the giant statues, that means to pre polyneasians were gian't too, right. lol
Sorry I forgot to mention they would only trim them down into shape once they were into place
Excellent video. Thank you for posting. Have any attempts been made to replant trees on the island to the degree they were present before?
was thinking the same, could be made into a small eden
How far is the swim from the main island to the egg collecting smaller island?
A quant little island with a long name, and a bit of a mystery. Did the change of currents bring different ethnic groups to the Island, or did Storms play a role in its past history. Following the Rock or chance or both...
I have several of your books in my physical possession.
But like how big was the megalithic structure originally? just sections of walls or was it a massive city?
