Well, 3,000 years ago, you're still within the period of the Polynesian expansion. This is not the Ice Age. This is more recent. It's early in the Polynesian expansion rather than late. Easter Island was seen as one of the last places that the Polynesians got to. This new evidence is suggesting it may have been one of the first places that the Polynesians got to.

But the question that arises is, did they find the Moai already in place when they came there even 3,000 years ago? And I think there's a lot of evidence for that. I think that this is going to make archaeologists absolutely furious with me. But I hope that I'm paying full respect to indigenous traditions. We had an amazing Easter Island elder who told us the tradition of the lost land of Hever.

Easter Island has its own flood myth. They say that there was a huge land in the Pacific far, far away called Hever, HIVA, and that it was destroyed in a flood cataclysm. and that there were survivors, specifically seven wise men.

But they have a script, the Easter Island script, and it's written on wooden boards. And we learned that these were the boards we see today, none of which, by the way, are in Easter Island now.
