Easter Island (Rapa Nui)

What the Show Claims

• ›Ancient Astronaut theorists explore whether the moai statues and other structures on this Pacific island hold evidence of extraterrestrial contact. The seven stone giants are suggested to stand guard and protect something of cosmic significance.

What Archaeology Says

Easter Island's moai were carved by the Polynesian Rapa Nui people between approximately 1250-1500 CE using stone tools. Mainstream archaeology explains their construction through cultural and religious motivations, with no credible evidence of extraterrestrial involvement.
