Isla de Pascua Mysterious island .

Hello! I want to talk a little bit about Easter Island.(Isla de Pascua)

This is one of those mysterious places that excites my imagination and gives inspiration to the creative search

Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pascua) is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle.

                                                                         Five facts about Easter Island.

• The most mysterious and fascinating discovery on Easter Island is a gigantic monolithic statues called moai natives. More than 230 statues have been shipped so far unknown way from the crater at an impressive distance and set on stone platforms on the coast of the island. Yet nearly 400 statues, each weighing more than 100 tons, left unfinished. The largest of the statues has a weight of 270 tons. 
• How difficult was it to move moay, said the fact that many of the statues and nebyli installed on their ahu and a large number of them left to lie half way to the target. Sometimes this distance is reached 25 kilometers. And now, it remains a mystery how they actually moved the statue weighing several dozen tonnes. Dowry state that the idols themselves were going to the beach. Scientists conducted an experiment, a vertically mounted statue rocked (tied with ropes to the top) and alternately pushed forward then left, then right shoulder. For those who watched the work, it made such an impression that the statue moves alone. Nevertheless, simple calculations show that a small population could not handle, move and set up .

•  Easter Island once had an apparent script called rongorongo. Glyphs include pictographic and geometric shapes; the texts were incised in wood in reverse boustrophedon direction. It was first reported by a French missionary, Eugène Eyraud, in 1864. At that time, several islanders said they could understand the writing, but according to tradition, only ruling families and priests were ever literate, and none survived the slave raids and subsequent epidemics. Despite numerous attempts, the surviving texts have not been deciphered, and without decipherment it is not certain that they are actually writing. Part of the problem is the small amount that has survived: only two dozen texts, none of which remain on the island. There are also only a couple of similarities with the petroglyphs on the island. 
• Another, completely defies any reasonable explanation mystery of Easter Island appeared before scientists in the late eighties of the XX century. Researchers from the Australian expedition led by Professor R. Myers excavated in a small bog in which the remains were found of the medieval knight sitting on his horse. Marshes, thanks preservative properties of peat is in them, well retain such artifacts, which decompose, being just in the land. However, even if the find was made in a less favorable environment, gaze scientists would still have brought things to explain the occurrence of which Easter Island is not possible. Knight was dressed in armor, which allowed to determine its origin. He was a member of the Livonian Order - knight in the Baltic states, which existed in the XIII-XVI centuries. The purse of the rider were three Hungarian gold ducats in 1326. ;D
• Interesting data about underwater exploration of the ocean floor near the Easter Island leads Australian Tirloren Howard, who arrived here along with Cousteau. He told me that arrived here in 1978, they have studied in sufficient detail the bottom around the island. Anyone who fell down in the submersible, confirm that the mountains under the water, even at a small depth, are reasonably unusual appearance: some of them even have a hole, resembling connectors for windows. And once Jacques-Yves Cousteau found a strange deep hollow near where he dived after three more days. When he returned, he wanted to explore this basin is even more scrupulously. In Cousteau could not see anything in full dark, but in his words at the bottom of the walls one can see the silhouettes, forming something like a section of the city. However, because of the people serving in the political police DINA, it did not work. As Tirloren claims they were forced to endorse a non-disclosure documents, and demanded to stop the investigation, so all work was stopped. But what may be unusual in this depression? Why Chilean security services so afraid of scientists - remains a mystery. After the Pinochet regime, this issue was raised again, but to no avail. Thus, this fact does not preclude the assumption that a large part of Easter Island sank during disaster.

Inspired by the mysteries of Easter Island a few years ago I wrote this song.
