Easter Island is the most remote and mysterious island on earth. When the first Europeans arrived here, he was a desert that was inhabited by small tribes, which fell into wildness and hunted cannibalism. At the same time, there were unusual statues of enormous sizes: when they saw them, the Dutch traveler Jacob Roggeven, who opened the island of Easter, was very surprised that the “naked savages” could build such colosses. However, in the past, everything was different: the island was covered with thick vegetation, including vast forests, and was the house of highly developed civilization. What happened? What are the causes of the disaster that befell the islanders? James Perkins offers his own version of events, widely using Polynesian legends and myths. Written bright and exciting, the book makes us think about the problems common to all civilizations
