“The metaphor is so obvious. Easter Island isolated in the Pacific Ocean — once the island got into trouble, there was no way they could get free. There was no other people from whom they could get help. In the same way that we on Planet Earth, if we ruin our own world, we won't be able to get help.”

A simplified Easter Island story....


So you may be forgiven for getting a little confused over the dates and series of events that happened on Easter Island during its settlement, expansion, collapse and post-collapse….so for your benefit only, I will post this VERY simplified (and potentially controversial due recent research that disputes many of these dates and events) table.

I hope this makes the story a little clearer, as its most definitely going to get more complicated as we bring in more suggested theories for collapse!
