The end of the mystery concerning the Easter of island


The second hypothesis that I know is that the population disappeared because of their statues, which, as we can see, are huge and kick out, so that the population had some trouble moving them to the entrance of the island.
They finally managed to do it by using wooden logs (which facilitated movements) but this solution led them to their self-destruction as almost all the trees had been cut. Knowing how important are the trees for the ecosystem (animals and so humans etc...), their disparition brought disastrous consequences which finally led to the population's death by lack of food. Even if aware of the situation, they couldn't do anything, it was too late.

The third hypothesis involves the colons. When they discovered Easter island, they came with ships full of rats which invaded the island and caused a disaster: they decimated the vegetation and its productions and transmited diseases to the population who finally dissappeared by lack of food and antidotes againts new diseases.

We can see many similarities between the various hypothesises. But according to you, what is the most probable? Sometimes It is good to forget science who wants to be so rational.
