"the motive wasn't all that altruistic"

I did not think it was altruistic, but I think it did promote tourism sparking interest in the statues many years later.

Chili does seam to be doing well now economically, I don't think the statues are the reason but Easter Island has made money from them.

Wonder when they went from eating each other to doing well economically.
I would like to go there one day.
