Easter Island – Mysteries & Myths

Season 6 Episode 601

Located more than two thousand miles from the coast of Chile, Rapa Nui (the island’s native name) offers a world of mysteries that have remained unanswered for centuries. Joseph attempts to explain what often eludes explanation while he spotlights the amazing journey of the Rapa Nui people from the shores of Polynesia more than 1,500 years ago to the vibrant culture that flourishes today.
