You know, there's one, I think it's the one that was taken to the British Museum, that's made out of diorite.
No, that's the white one. That's the little white one. The little one, okay. And it's still there. I had a guy on one of my trips, actually, he said, I'm not going with you today. I'm going to get a moped and I'm going to find that little white Moai. And he did. He sent me some pictures. It's on the far end of the island on at the base of one of the volcanoes and looking at the sea.
And it was funny when he got there. That's the little guy I'm talking about. It was like – it's four foot tall or something.
Oh, wow. Okay.
It's just a little – the tiniest little moai, and he's made of weird diorite.
Yeah, it's very weird. You know, another thing, Danny, is – one thing I love talking about, you know, these different mysteries and why they're doing this. Another thing that's very interesting about Easter Island that I think, you know, maybe most people don't realize is that these – Very famous walls that you see in Peru, you know, constructed by the Inca.
There is a small section, just one, is it one singular wall? It's like one singular compound on Easter Island where you can see that same stonework.
And it really is. I've seen both. I mean, that is Inca-looking architecture.
Just one building. Yeah, I don't think it's very similar.
I think it is. Oh, really? Yeah. I've walked around it and looked at it. We even did like a 3D scan of it, but then somehow we lost it. How would we find a picture of it? Vinapu. Vinapu, Easter Island? V-I-N-A-P-U.
Oh, wow.
I like your studio. I can just call things into the sky and then they appear. Yeah, look at that. I mean, that's the little chinking stone in there. It's very, very Inca. It looks identical, doesn't it? It's very Inca looking. And, you know, they have been finding that – I think it's the Mapache people of Chile share genetic DNA with – Polynesian folks.
So one way or another, either they influenced Polynesia or back and forth. I guess I guess that study suggested that the Mapache, that Polynesians made it to South America. Yeah.
And, you know, I love that there are mysteries that we still haven't solved. Yeah. I think that all ideas that are not disparaging others should be on the table and allowed to flow.
Yeah, well, and think about how this happens, right? I mean, you have people coming from Southeast Asia, like those islands that are out there in Indonesia, Micronesia. Sailing, just setting sail off into the ocean, founding these little islands. You can kind of watch it. You can see these archaeological sites all through the Pacific Ocean, eventually ending up on Easter Island.
If you look up how far Easter Island is, like on Google Earth, from South America, not only have these people made it all the way from the other side of the Pacific to Easter Island, But they eventually make it to South America, and then South Americans come back and, I mean, clearly build something on Easter Island. It's just, this is this huge miraculous... They were impressive boat builders.
There is a story during the Inca Empire that they... Look at that.
It's insane how far it is.
They made naval fleets to combat the people on the coast and conquer them. And there was one story about... The Inca fleet gets caught up by a storm and goes out to sea, maybe as far as Galapagos, but then like a year later, they show back up on the coast and finish the job of conquering the people on the north coast of Peru.
So I forget exactly where I read that, but there's this story of them making it pretty far out and then coming back a year later.
