what's freaking me out is that the going theory of it being devoid of human life over time because the population trapped itself. they couldn't build anymore since they depleted the island like a command and conquer ore refinery. they couldn't leave :( ( inb4 "I can't breathe"
what about the statues ? that's either just a lot of bored dudes or some other meaning. I'm going on people bored as shit and kinda dumb.
weed i would assume. weed only helped my anxiety but i overall feel better now that i quit. more willpower, eat better, still a depressed wreck, though.

The inhabitants built the statues as vessels for demons that were bound into them. Originally meant to protect the island, the demons ended up wiping out the natives.
>they couldn't build anymore since they depleted the island I see a few problems with this theory.
Carter Brooks
It's probably some kind of cosmic warning about the pitfalls of being too overly competitive and wasting limited resources
Daniel Rodriguez
They were polynesian / melanesian so yes. These were built by travellers who left New Zealand similar to Maori but probably too different to fit in so they left to find other islands. They ended up eating everything and flourished for a while but then moved on once they had eaten basically everything on the island. Likely to indonesia or papua new guinea areas
Josiah Reed
You smoked the wrong kind of weed.
Isaiah Young
>the demons ended up wiping out the natives. no that was the white man sailors visiting the island and unknowingly unleashing small pox or some shit
Austin Jones
whats the right kind?

imo the people who built those came by long ago, possibly when there was much more islands aroudn adn more land. Then later other populations came there. IIRC The natives that were found there didnt seem to know much about who made them or how.
polynesians are actually mixed with south americans, as shown here. Likely the same people who made those statues also went to americas and is polynesian or at least the ancestor of polynesians.
This isn't true and you're a fucking retard for believing it.
Aiden Rogers
whoa.
and the idea of being stuck on an island in a famine with no way out gave me anxiety. the weed is just fine ;)
Hudson Cruz
Obviously they were visited by aliens
Julian Garcia
They found one half carved out of the ground, so it's not exactly unknown. Still yet, moving them without them being damaged is more interesting to me since the rocking myth ("the statues walked") would show damage from being moved.
The original inhabitants were white. Westerners have lived across the entire planet for thousands of years. Original inhabitants of new zealand were from Europe

>weed only helped my anxiety Lmfao

>what about the statues ? that's either just a lot of bored dudes or some other meaning. I'm going on people bored as shit and kinda dumb. Dude they didnt build the statues while they were starving and trying to escape lmfao.
Carson Bell
I make rock people so it's probably someone just like me fucking around. 10000 years from now Josh Gates the 60th will say "OVER HERE!!! THERE IS ANOTHER ONE OVER HERE!!!" and he'll sweep it of with a paint brush.
this is what the europeans who visited the island thought. they were like >there is no way the island niggers built that shit. it must have been built by cyclops
Oliver Perry
this is why I think it makes more sense that this was not their home. I find it so hard to believe people clever enough to get there would be this shortsighted. But if they lived elsewhere and this island was simply a monument island...

i have social anxiety. i was much more sociable high

This was a landing area/strip from past civilization.
