 | This is my first visit to Easter Island! It's so interesting seeing the remnants of an ancient civilization, don't you think? | |
|
| I find it more interesting to ponder what this place would be like if it hadn't been visited by the Europeans. There were once thousands of people living here, indigenous people who treated every foot of this island like gold. | |

| Over the course of only a few decades, the natives were almost completely eradicated by foreign disease and slavery. It's a startling show of luck that these monuments were preserved at all. | |
