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

793 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!

It isn’t, there is a fairly good idea of the history and archaeology of the island. It is pseudoscience/conspiracy theory bullshit they we don’t understand what happened there.
