It's a complicated story:
Markings on the backs of these "The Children of the Sun" represent the sun on the horizon, the two v's below the horizon represent their conciousness of the summer/winter solstice, indicating that these people were into celestial navigation. Rapa nui is the closest island to the node delineated by; the tropic of Capricorn and one of the five 72degree nodes that the ancients divided the world into. These five nodes start at Alexandria. Another is Tonga Tapu, Gavea is close to another. The solar observatory which was moved during the building of the Aswan Dam was directly on the tropic of Cancer. Rapa iti is directly opposite Alexandria.There is certainly a lot more to the ancient civilization on Rapa nui than scientists would have us believe.
