Easter Island documentary on the BBC - General Tiki

For you readers out there (not viewers) I recommend reading "Statues that Walk" (2012) by Terry Hunt and Carl Lipo. Although somewhat associated with the Nova/National Geographic documentary titled: "Mystery of Easter Island" (2012). Both media involve Hunt & Lipo (book as writers, doc. as subject matter) but ironically the "Mystery of Easter Island" documentary is all about statues (moai) that walk while the book devotes only one and a half chapters to the "walking moai" theory and the rest of the book, especially chapter 9, "The Collapse" which briefly but powerfully educates us readers of the tragic Rapa Nui relationship with the west over the last couple of centuries. I wonder if the BBC doc. is about this sad history. "Statues that Walk" to me is a must read for anybody interested Rapa Nui. FYI I'm a natural viewer but I have to read the books to at least pretend I have a somewhat knowledgeable background. :) [ Edited by: creativenative 2014-02-06 18:13 ] [ Edited by: creativenative 2014-02-06 18:17 ]
