Hi folks
I have a pic that will change everything you thought you knew about Rapa-Nui.
It seems that the original people of Easter Island were actually jews from Israel. This picture proves it beyond doubt:

If you look closely at this Moai, found in Tel Aviv's Joshua Gardens park, you will recognize the familiar shape of the Star of David.
So I guess the Israelites sailed to South America and then continued on to Polynesia.

Well...maybe not :wink:
This is what Dale and I found by accident at the mini-golf in that park. I assume the people who built the place saw Moai in American mini-golfs, so they just copied that, but then they wanted to get "smart" and put that Star of David on his forhead.
This is the closest example of Poly-pop we managed to find in Israel.
There is also a statue that kinda looks like a Moai next to where we lived in Israel, so we used to greet him with a hearty "Shalom Tiki" every time we went passed him. I'll pot a pic of him when my stuff gets here.

Mahalo
