eli5: If the Rapa Nui and their culture are still alive, why is Easter Island such a mystery?

779 viewsOther

I’m writing a paper and I’m so confused; if the people of the island are still around, how is the island such a mystery? Is it that the Rapa Nui alive were mostly the descendants of slaves or immigrants from the island? I hope this isn’t too stupid of a question but I just can’t find anything addressing it. Thanks!

Go sit at a loom and spin a tapestry. Don’t know how? Why? It’s part of your cultural history, how can you not know how to use it?

Remember that knoweldge is something that has to be carefully maintained from generation to generation–it’s very common to lose information unless it’s necessary to daily life.
