Easter Island | Can’t Sleep? Explore the Mystery of the Moai

from I Can’t Sleep · host Benjamin Boster

Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world, famous for the enormous stone statues known as moai. This episode explores the island’s Polynesian settlement, the creation and transportation of the moai, and the culture that developed on this remote corner of the Pacific. Along the way, you’ll hear about Rapa Nui traditions, the island’s distinctive landscape, and the mysteries that continue to surround its remarkable past. It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
