Garden of Thought E.314 Easter Island and what Moana Got Right

Archeologist Ed Barnhart of MayaExploration.org, among other places, rejoins us to discuss Easter Island. But before that, we discuss his theory on how certain megalithic blocks were fused together.You won't want to miss that.But the main event is Easter Island. We start with it's modern history since Western "discovery". What are the orginial settlement theories? What do the indiginous themselves say? What does the archeology say? We go into their likely societal structures, certain times of disruption, the myths about trees, just who are those giant head statues of? We talk some about mythology and concepts like "the navel of the world". Your host offers some un-vetted theories on many areas he is not qualified to theorize upon. But that's just how I do.Basically, everything you want to know about Easter Island plus more in about 90 minutes.
