ELLIE'S JOURNEY TO EASTER ISLAND
I wound up at a small island resort in the south Pacific called 'Easter Island'.
The inhabitants of this charming and mysterious place called their land: Te Pito o TeHenua, 'the navel of the world.'
It sits in the South Pacific Ocean 2,300 miles west of South America, 2,500 miles southeast of Tahiti, 4,300 miles south of Hawaii, 3,700 miles north of Antarctica. The closest other inhabited island is 1,260 miles away - tiny Pitcairn Island where the mutineers of the H.M.S. Bounty settled in 1790.
No one is quite sure how Easter Island came to be.
This is the history I was given:
Archaeological evidence indicates discovery of the island by Polynesians at about 400 AD.
In 1722, a Dutch explorer, Jacob Roggeveen, sighted and visited the island. This happened to be on a Sunday, Easter Sunday to be precise, and the name stuck: Easter Island (Isla de Pascua in Spanish).
What he discovered on Easter Island were three distinct groups of people, Dark skinned, Red skinned, and very Pale skinned People with red hair".
The Polynesian name of the island is Rapanui, which is a name given by a Tahitian visitor in the 19th century who says that the island looked like the Tahitian island of 'Rapa,' but bigger, 'Nui.'
Inhabitants are of Polynesian descent, but for decades anthropologists have argued the true origins of these people, some claiming that ancient South-American mariners settled the island first.
What many early explorers who visited the island found, was a scattered population with almost no culture they could remember and without any links to the outside world.
The Easter islanders were easy prey for 19th century slave traders which depreciated even more their precarious culture, knowledge of the past, and skills of the ancestors.
The statues that line the coastline are called Moai and are carved from island rock.
The Moai are seen all over the island, and in different shapes, sizes, and stages of completion. Many Moaiare left unfinished at the quarry site. No one is sure yet as to what purposes did the Moai served, but outside scholarly research together with accumulated local knowledge, shows evidence that the Moai were carved by the ancestors of the present inhabitants.
Most face inward to the island.
A few face the sea.
They rest on ceremonial shrines called Ahu.
Many of the were buried up to their shoulders and thereby appearing as disembodied heads.
All of the Moai were toppled in tribal wars about 250 years ago.
Many have recently been rebuilt - starting in the 1950's.
They sit on rocky lava strewn about telling a story of fallen monuments of a long lost civilization who created them. The Moai were depictions of their ancestors. The Rapa Nui were ancestor worshipers and only had one diety - Make Make.
The Moai were excavated for the first time by Thor Heyerdahl in the 1950's and were photographed at that time.
No one is sure how the Moai were created, moved, then erected as that are so large and made with such precision.
It made me think of the pyramids, Nasca Lines, and other megalithic anomlies we have been studying.
That thing in his hand is for applying the tatoo- I guess he could use it for dowsing! A man with a 'rod' - ?? wrong rod!
Not sure if I'm attracted to him as I can't see what he looks like.
His energies leave 'something to be desired'!
He'd never make GQ Magazine!
Tatooing is part of the ancient culture or so he said!.
I thought about trying this - but 'chickened out'!
Somehow it wouldn't go over well when I returned to Brooklyn!
Isn't this tatooing like the Moari of New Zealand?
He spoke English very well.
and showed me around the island.
They have thousands of petroglyphs here.
I wasn't the least bit surprised that the 'main rock figure'
was a 'bird headed being' - Birdman.
Rongo-Rongo Tablet
Many people have tried to decipher them but no one has been able to as yet.
I got a little uneasy when he told me they have a phallic significance.
I didn't get the feeling that the tablets - once deciphered - would be of any - Earth shattering importance.
As we have seen - many ancient texts are not much more than lists and random notes.
Just what I needed to hear!! End Tour!
I left that 'clown' - and went back to my hotel. Time to lay on the beach with the Moai and look out to sea! We are in the energies of the New Moon in Cancer! Cancer is the door into the physical incarnation of humanity. As we incarnate in form, we learn how to transform the servitude of form into the service of the divine plan. Reincarnation is implicit in the universe and is a basic and fundamental theme underlying the rhythm of cyclic manifestation. The sun is setting on this 'Cycle of Time'. I feel a need to commune with the water - the Collective flow of reailty and all things - and the Moai who sit here with me - staring out to sea just as I do. They share a journey with all of us . . . A 'Cycle of Time' . . . forever changing . . . They are telling me that the stargate opens from one program to another . . . Would I like to join with them and move through to another program? Though I would like to do this physically - and I sense that I will - I think I will go off with them and their God - Make Make!
