Easter Island moai were first, according to Dr. Tilburg, who emailed me: "The Rapa Nui moai are earlier than the largest statues in the Marquesas or the Australs." She also states that the Rapa Nui people did not originate in Melanesia, but from East Polynesia, possibly Mangareva and possibly stopping first at Pitcairn. (Tikibars, she says the Melanesia migration theory "is another discredited idea." - All these discredited ideas are making my head spin). |
