But then the next time Europeans came, just a few decades later, they were all pushed over. Something crazy happened on the island that was probably triggered by... This European contact. We don't really know what happened, but they went nuts and they pushed down all of the ancestors statues. The the local people say that a huge war broke out, that it was just chaos, village against village.

And for years, people just hid their families in caves and they were just at each other's throats for a generation. We don't you know, archaeology doesn't. Detect that all that well. There's one of those fallen over Moai. They pushed them all down. Wow. But then they somehow or another got themselves back together. They got to a new normal that involved a ceremony called the Birdman Competition.

I don't know if it was once a year, maybe it was once every couple years, but they would have this competition where each village would send their strongest guys to participate in this competition. And they'd have to jump off a cliff, swim out through shark-infested waters, out to a little island.

There they would get an egg from a newly laid egg from a certain kind of bird that comes there seasonally. And so when the first eggs had come out, that's when the Birdman competition had happened. So they'd get this egg and they'd have to get back to... Die Hauptstadt, äh, die größere Insel, und oben auf einem Kliff, an einem Ort namens Orongo.

Und der erste Mann, der mit einem ungebrochenen Ei aufsteht, hat seine Kirche die Entscheidungen für das nächste Jahr gemacht. Also sehr wenige Ressourcen, aber die stärkste Kirche hat die Entscheidungen gemacht. And how many villages were on Rapa Nui? At least nine, perhaps 13, 14. That's something they don't really know.

And archaeology has never even really tried to figure it out because we're obsessed with the Moai. That's what I'm going to try to do.

Richtig. Ich hoffe, dass eine Untersuchung über die Einrichtungspattern, wir sehen eine Art Densität, Epizentren und weniger oder mehr gesperrte Bevölkerung in Richtung der nächsten Wälder und vielleicht irgendwo in der Zwischenzeit können wir scharfe Linien malen. It's of great interest to the Rapa Nui people. It was funny when we made the first part of the map. It's a very small place.
