On Easter Island because the mysteries of the statues and the legends might give a clue to who these tall people where, no large bones has, as far as I know, ever been found on the island, and just a few Caucasian-looking old skulls. British explorer captain James Cook visited Easter Island in 1774, and his seamen described that some of the people on the islands were so tall that they could walk upright between their legs. He wrote that there were three distinct groups of people on the island dark skinned, red skinned, and very pale skinned people with red hair. Jacob Roggeveen, the Dutch explorer, was the first European to sight and visit the island on Easter Sunday in 1722. They should have been 7 ½ to 8 ½ feet tall (2.30 to 2.60 meters) - survivors after a worldwide catastrophe. Strange because some of the similar looking stone statues he took pictures of in San Augustin in Colombia in South America also had six fingers! Well, I thought it was very strange that old stone statues should have six fingers, and guess what I discovered so did many ancient statues all over the world! One legend on Easter Island is telling that the first people on the island had come over the ocean from west while another is telling that they had come from a hot and dry land in the east. The islanders first wanted the archaeologists to open the grave, but then changed their minds: It was too dangerous! And a violent storm the same evening convinced them that they in the future should not make any attempt to disturb the grave of Tevalu!Įaster Island has giant statues there. Tevalu was a bad giant, he used to snatch children playing on the beach kill and eat them. A very old legend (as told by my father-in-law and another old man on Nukulaelae) said that he had been a giant that had lived on this islet. The islanders agreed that it had to be the grave of Tevalu (Te Valu). It was very large about 3.5 meters long and 1.5 meter wide. Nobody was living on Niuoko anymore, but in the bush the Japanese were shown a overgrown grave in the dense bush. They wanted to dig in the middle of the main village but I told them that in the old days the village was on one of the other islets, Niuoko. One day a father and son archaeological team from Japan came to Nukulaelae at Tevalu. Although his original task was very different from this, he has been brought to a place never seen before, with no resources and unprepared for what he will find there.
Their offspring with the local women became the chiefs of the island, the Saudeleur. The Dolmen’s story may be comprehended as an investigation focusing the past and present of an alien planet as seen through the eyes of a human being. Olisihpa and Olosohpa were said to have come from far away across the ocean and they were much taller than native islanders. One legend says that it was two young twins, Olsihpa and Olsohpa, that had made Nan Modol.
Bones of giants have supposedly been found both inside the ruins and also in the dense forest on the adjacent larger island. This "ancient city of stone" is built on nearly 100 artificial islets with tidal canals between them situated on the south-eastern side of the island. On the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia there are some very interesting ruins called Nan Madol.
