The Lost World - Easter Island

[@oceansong123]

I’m in Chile and went to Rapa Nui in October. Many things in this video and things you will read about Rapa Nui aren’t factual but science trying to construct meaning. The Rapa Nui people are really cool and spiritual and not listened to about their own history or by the Chilean government. There is stuff being discovered all the time, like the fresh water springs. If ecocide happened, it closely coincides with the timeline of the global cooling during the Middle Ages, which likely contributed to population decline globally. Also, they don’t know who toppled the Moai, but some think it was the Spanish. There are even theories that contact of the island was made not just by Polynesians but by people from the Americas. The archeological record is estimated to be about ten percent of what we know, so take that into account when you’re listening to academics explaining people and their history. I have to do a project for school and it’s frustrating because so many stupid theories have been debunked about the Rapa Nui over the years. Amazing place and not at all what I was expecting based on years of being misinformed about all the mysteries.

[@TomJonesisback]

Chur chur from new Zealand Maori bro 100% correct 🙏😎🙏

[@TheDAT9]

Yes, I 'm sure the history of the Rapa Nui is interesting, but just like the dynastic Egyptians and the Aztecs, they were inheritors of what was already there. My point is that the mainstream archaeologists always date these sites and attribute them to later peoples. They will not look at the glaringly obvious difference in building techniques.

[@dyonomitereacher8140]

Thank you for some clarity.

[@moniqueengleman873]

Thank you for your comomentary. More and more is being discovered, and other theories are being debunked. It feels weird when you know something is absolutely different in a "documentary " Like you so wisely said, there are more facts to come, and they are conjectures, not necessarily fact like they seem.

[@ercanak1]

The documentary was shot in 2001. Of course, some theories have been refuted in the 20 years since then.

[@MyriamGeoris-wn6gp]

Fantastique reportage à vous archéologues.🦋

[@naturesmomentstv]

The history and culture of this lost world are truly captivating.

[@Deontjie]

Maybe it is time we ask these advanced civilisations to come and analyse the ancient European ruins?

[@annteve]

Outstanding! Very enjoyable.

[@TheDAT9]

These Rapa Nui are obviously primitives who were the latest occupiers of this Island. The megalithic artifacts are at least older than the YD cataclysm and are much more interesting, or at least, they should be.

[@ubercz7014]

[@lovingmayberry307]

Excellent documentary! Ty

[@tracyhale3642]

I would have loved to know what they were saying in important parts that were not translated into English. Unfortunately I do not speak French

[@PhilipSiddall]

Or Italian.

[@arnhemseptember2009]

Absolutely below standard not to have done that.

[@oliveinpeace9627]

Thank you, Dr. Fischer.

[@PopGoesTheology]

Of course it’s aliens. Who else would fly halfway across the visible universe, just to carve a few statues to impress a small tribe of fisherman?

[@ubercz7014]

Fuerza de palanca lo más normal

[@Roshenbo]

Awesome documentary 👍 Thank you! They should've showed the lava tubes under the island tho. 😊

[@bastrous9121]

Archeologists should use computer photometry at every sight around the world, to put buildings, statues and pyramids back together. It is much more simple than trying to manhandle, huge blocks of stone.

[@Xavier-r2d2]

Très bon documentaire

[@FrankLowe1949]

All Humans believe there is some kind of a superpower out there even today we still believe in invisible gods that lives in the sky.😮

[@tanissugden5352]

It's disappointing not to have it fully in English but I'm rather embarrassed to say so

[@MintBlancmanche-mk8pi]

worse yet, lazy americans never bother to translate other languages lol. why bother making subtitles if you are going to simply put "french being spoken" lol.

[@davebenadum3304]

It is strange to be in two languages. Since it is narrated in English the French should be captioned in English. Then for French it should be re-narrated in French.

[@edwardlulofs444]

Math note: cyphers are readable with a key. Almost all, maybe all of human languages are codes. The writing in code means each symbol is like a word. One has to be told what they mean by a dictionary. Human language also has grammar. Again, this is unknowable without reference to a modern human language. Only a few languages have been decoded. If you have a Rosetta stone, the unknown language can be seen and, for wider communication at the time of writing, another language that is known. Then by comparing them the unknown language can sometimes be partially decoded.

[@AncientWildTV]

this video was really well done, and I appreciate the effort you put into showcasing Easter Island's unique history! however, I can't help but wonder if the focus on the moai statues overshadows the rich culture and stories of the Rapa Nui people themselves. it feels like we might be missing out on a deeper understanding of their traditions. what do you all think?

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

The statues are the focus, just as Stonehenge is, if you watched it all you would understand that the statues’ history tells us about the people that the people no longer remember now.

[@thomasesteb9589]

Good luck figuring it out, it was all a pre flood culture and many of the stone carvings have been buried as many stand 15-20’ tall

[@สงัดสมบูรณ์]

Watching form Thailand

[@TomJonesisback]

It's actually called Rapanui and it was mayans that arrived there first from south America then spread to the Pacific 😎

[@romi3957]

Rapa nui is the island's name folks... Or france called Napoleón?

[@Chronoclastt]

İm going to watch this sounds Fun to watch ngl

[@HenrySousa-n2c]

...... I believe the Rapa Nui were so secluded; they were trying desperately to attract other people to their relatively small Island... Just a thought🤔

[@manueldeschamps432]

Ce documentaire de Thierry Ragobert date de 2001. Depuis, les études sur L'île de Pâques ont continué, et les théories historiques ont évolué.

[@elwirfankor4570]

Amazing wooden sculptures. Much more interesting than huge but primitive moai.

[@paquitoignacio3449]

Hope one day have the chance to visit Easter island

[@skyedog24]

I'm watching all things about Neolithic structures there are 33 of them throughout Europe including Stonehenge. I believe this is the last one the latest .

[@heraldocosta1469]

@skyedog24 Not in Europa, ( The biggest Neolithic ) but my favor are the ones in Baalbek, Lebanon. I visited last year its amazing.

[@copisetic1104]

They need to use the lidar camera with some lidar apps for copying the stones and rocks.

[@spiritualhumanist]

33:32 very important wall

[@petrsson]

I bet you those stone statues were also used as protecting wall for village against wind from the ocean...🤔😉

[@v4panigale26]

Suggesting that the Nui did this is as ludicrous as the Egyptians building the pyramids or the Inca built Machuca pichua

[@StrangeFruit-my4yv]

What would would you know about it? Have studied physics, geology, biology, history and have you even been there? The only ludicrous thing is fools like you that pepper youtube with your ignorant comments.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

IF YOU STOP THE VIDEO AT EXACTLY 3:02 YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THE ALIENS IN THE PHOTO THAT HELPED CREATE THEM. 👽👽👽👽👽

[@AndrewVanDay]

Sorry, are we expected to understand French and Italian? Some translation would be nice...

[@lkmayhew9390]

But the narrator is speaking English. Do you not hear that?

[@vanessamanihera2088]

Who is the narrator here?

It's Rapa Nui not Easter island

[@marcshelstead5355]

FYI one of the chiefs said they didn't build those in the 19 century then the Spanish destroyed their culture

[@winniejack2492]

What happened to them. Again slavers and so call explorers. 😢

[@fernandoguallart5882]

Muy interesante toda la información que han recolectado, sin embargo, las interpretaciones acerca de sus significados son muy discutibles y, francamente, muy poco creíbles.

[@voornaam3191]

And why is the second minute in French? Bien sûr, il y a quarante cinque années, au lycé on m'a apris un assez petit peu de la langue de Marianne, mais si ça sufit encore, maintenant? Ouf. Et vous? Pouvez-vous se débrouller? Je m'en doute. Les Américain sont, ehm, spéciales. Et les autres?

Unfortunately all the foreign talking (for instance Italian) is neither translated nor are there translated subtitles available. Therefore I stopped watching after 19 min.

[@JimboBagginsEsq]

"Discovered in the 18th century 3,700km from t... . ...civilization" Nope. Bad start. Just another erroneous report that mimics the predominant narrative without further analysis.

[@Svetoslav-f1t]

How will you explain the fact that a volcanic island deep in the ocean could have a soil? Why we don’t see just a rocky surface? And why all the bodies of the statues are covered with mud? Some part of the puzzle is missing. Archaeologists do not explain the truth! Why?

[@petrsson]

Probably you don't know how soil becomes soil....😂😂😂😂

[@Svetoslav-f1t]

@ Probably I know something that you couldn’t imagine, and of course I know how this island has a soil. But please, explain to me how the statues were buried?

[@octaviotarazona9978]

In spanish please....

[@voornaam3191]

It's only one minute. Sloppy video editors. I don't like that. What else did they screw up? Do we miss fragments? Ah, no Spanish audio or subtitles. Strange.

Worst CGI ever😂😂😂😂

[@danjohnson887]

This needs taken down and fully narrated with a professional American English male narrator since 95% of your audience is American and English speaking on a uniquely American platform.

You should get out of your village more often.

It's not about America u 🤡 its about the ancient black natives and their history their language is similar to my language ya 🤡 as we are the people's of all the land
