The mythical disappearance of the population


The subject of my article is the mystery of the disappearance of the inhabitants on the Easter Island.
This island is certainly the most isolated place of the world. It was discovered in 500by seven sons of defeated king Hotu Matua who was looking for a new country.
There were twelve tribes but they always were in war and this caused lots of deaths.
Furthermore, the tribes became two populations very differents , "the long ears" and "the small ears".
The small ears were the slaves of the long ears and they built the statues that you know (the statues of giant in front of the sea).
One day, the slaves rebelled against the long ears and accordind the legend ate them. The principal problem on this island was the lack of food so the cannibalism became very important and caused the disappearance and the loss of the population.
It was the first legend and in a short time I will share you others about this subject.
