Theories about the Moai statue.

The 2 videos were both about a theories of the giant statue of Moai. And they are both
talking about how they begined and how they collapse.

The first video talks about 2 theories. First, at the beginning of the community, there
were 20,00 people split to 2 communities and they made Moai statue to show their
power. They used lot of trees to move the statue and because of that, forest
disappeared, no crops grew, eventually they had a war. Secondly, new inhabitants
brought contact to the outside world and also brought disease and rats. With these new
changes, forest disappeared. The island was fertilized again by rain and mineral from
the rock. They made and moved the statue with rope and made it walk. This can be the
evidence of harmonious community. And also the contact of the outside made the
tribe collapse and it made the tribe angry to the ancestors.

The second video talks about there existed two race of people of small people and a
real giant that ruled small people. But they suddenly abandoned the statue and
vanished.
