BY VIRTUAL MEETING ON 4/8/2020 - LINK WILL BE POSTED AS SOON AS AVAILABLE. Dr. Hunt will share results from nearly 20 years of field research on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Among his findings, he and his colleagues have discovered how hundreds of multi-ton statues were transported to every part of the island. Painstaking, detailed study of the island’s nearly 1000 statues revealed they were engineered for transport in rather ingenious ways. Hunt’s scientific research complements the native islanders’ oral traditions and reveals how the history of Rapa Nui has been so dramatically misunderstood and misrepresented.
