Whose path is standing in this desolate island looking for a row of demon statues? You will be shocked if you know

A strange island. There is not a single tree in it. The bird does not come. On the uninhabited island, only strange stone figures stand with their heads raised. One is up to 30 feet tall. Just like yakshas they guard the whole island. Thousands of questions about that Easter Island still remain unanswered. The mystery is not over. The length of the island is 24 km. 16 km wide. This island is actually under Chile. But the mainland of Chile is three thousand kilometers away from this island. So the question arises, who came to this island and built this huge statue?
The island was discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggivin on an Easter Sunday in 1722. So the island was named Easter Island. Its other name is Ropa Nui. The island is located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is believed that the Janjati people arrived on this island in the twelfth century. They originally came from various islands in the Pacific Ocean. The settlement was gradually built up.

Historians estimate that between 1400 and 1650, around 800 moai were carved into stone across the island. One idol was carved out of a rock. Each one weighs several tons. Some are up to 30 feet tall. These statues are called moai. When the island was settled in the twelfth century, the population was between three and four thousand. When Europeans arrived on the island in 1877, the population was only 111. How lotus population? As the population decreased, so did the trees. Now there is not a single tree on Easter Island. This raises questions in the mind of researchers. Why this treeless island?

Researchers have learned that for the past 30,000 years there were rows of palm trees on this island in the Pacific Ocean. Between 1200 and 1650 the number of trees gradually decreased. Historians think that huge stone statues were made one after another. Palm trees were used to transport them. Perhaps the idols were rolled to their destination by tying a rope to the palm tree. The tree started to grow angry to transport the stone idol. At one point, the ecosystem of the island changed because of that. There were no trees to build nests. So the birds turned away from Easter Island.

Land erosion starts due to lack of trees. Cultivation became impossible in the fertile land of the island. The islanders used to cut trees and build houses with that wood. They became homeless due to lack of trees. Because of that, the population of the island gradually decreases. But many people think that the island is deserted not only because of the trees but also because of the rats. There was an increase in the number of rats on the island. They dug holes and loosened the soil. As a result one after another the trees were uprooted. Many historians believe that rats caused plague epidemics. Because of that, this island is deserted.

Besides this deserted island, there is no mystery about Moai. There are many stories and legends about the making of this statue. It is said that a king named Hotu Matu lived in a beautiful land. The name of that country was Hiba. One night he dreams that his country will sink. The king was worried. He sent seven explorers of the country to find new lands. He said that a country should be found where yam (a type of kachu) can be cultivated as well as bass. It is believed that the seven people arrived at Easter Island by floating in the sea. He brought a moai with him. They buried the stone moai on that island. Six went back to Hiba to inform the king. One person stayed on the new island.

Later, Hotu Matu came to live on the new island with his wife and sister. There were 100 people with him. The king built seven moai to honor the seven explorers. Later, the inhabitants gradually built more moai. There is another legend about this moai. It is believed that the people of that island built the moai to keep an eye on the cultivation. The soil was fertile for those Moai. Although it is still not clear, who or who made the moai? Why were they created?
