easter island is only mysterious because its so empty and boring and insignificant, they're just small islands that were inhabited by polynesian types of people that did nothing but row to eachother's island and occasionally warred like primitives, it all happened quite recently and they all did fuck-all besides that. they had some very primitive writing system at some point and made some statues, and have a mythology the likes of which you'll find among oogabooga hunter gatherers in africa involving giant chickens and a war between our guys and those guys. they do look very phenotypically unique though, but pure blooded rapa nui are actually extinct i think.
