Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world, famous for the enormous stone statues known as moai. This episode explores the island's Polynesian settlement, the creation and transportation of the moai, and the culture that developed on this remote corner of the Pacific. Along the way, you'll hear about Rapa Nui traditions, the island's distinctive landscape, and the mysteries that continue to surround its remarkable past. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

Trump posted a map of the Strait of Hormuz labeled "New US Territory" while the 60-day negotiating window with Iran expired with no talks scheduled. A preservation trust told the Supreme Court the White House is racing to pour concrete on a $400 million ballroom before a judge can stop it. Court filings in Minnesota describe federal agents recording meetings in churches and union halls. And Disney sued the FCC over a license review the agency has not ordered in fifty years. The thread: power is testing how much it can finish before anyone can stop it. The other half: a preservation trust said no, a media company sued, DNC members reversed a rule from the floor, and Alaska voters put contribution limits on their own politicians. The check only works when somebody insists on it. Plus the last primary night of the cycle, where money lost everywhere. Angie Nixon beat Alex Vindman by double digits against a 16-to-1 spending gap. Trump's endorsed governor pick lost in Wyoming on the same ballot that sent Harriet Hageman to the Senate nomination. And a full breakdown of what data centers actually do to your water, your power bill, and your county's job numbers, using the August 10 Brookings update and Congressional Research Service report R48646.

This week, we're exploring three archaeology articles in the news this week. First, we head to Rapa Nui, where new research into the mysterious Rongorongo script could reshape our understanding of when and how writing developed on the island. Then, we examine an Etruscan ritual well filled with offerings to the goddess Uni—and later, human remains. Finally, we travel to Denmark, where plans for an underground parking garage led archaeologists to the unexpected discovery of a long-lost medieval convent.

In this throwback episode Sebastian takes you to the conclusion of one of the podcast's most discussed series. The island of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, has been called “the clearest example of a society that destroyed itself.” For years it was taken for granted that the people of Rapa Nui had depleted their natural resources in pursuit of bigger and better stone statues called Moai. However, recent scholarship has called into to question the widely known story of ecological collapse. Were the people of Rapa Nui really the authors of their own destruction, or has this narrative been unfairly exaggerated? Tune-in and found out how Birdmen, traumatized skeletons, and a stolen friend all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

En una reciente visita a los estudios de Ritoque FM, Vivi y los Reptilianos compartieron detalles de “Danzas de la Tierra”, una propuesta escénica que articula danza, memoria y territorio en un relato profundamente conectado con las raíces culturales. La obra, creada por Cullpuhué Fundación Folklórica y Cultural en colaboración con la banda, surge inspirada en el disco “Fragmentos de Awya Yala” y en los relatos del autor alemán Emile Legov (Germán Vogel). Desde ahí, la puesta en escena construye una experiencia que mezcla música, palabra y movimiento, evocando la presencia viva de los pueblos Aymara, Rapa Nui y Mapuche. Durante la conversación en Ritoque FM, la agrupación profundizó en cómo este proyecto transforma el escenario en un espacio de encuentro entre lo ancestral y lo contemporáneo, donde el cuerpo se convierte en territorio, relato y emoción. La obra busca poner en valor la memoria, la resistencia y la fuerza de los pueblos originarios, acercando esta experiencia artística a la comunidad. “Danzas de la Tierra” contará con dos presentaciones gratuitas en la Región de Valparaíso: el sábado 4 de julio en el Espacio Cultural de Concón y el sábado 18 de julio en el Teatro Juan Bustos de Quilpué, ambas a las 18:00 horas. El proyecto es financiado por el FNDR del Gobierno Regional de Valparaíso 2025 y aprobado por el Consejo Regional, reafirmando su valor cultural, formativo y comunitario. Revisa la entrevista completa con Vivi y los Reptilianos en nuestra web y sumérgete en esta propuesta donde la danza transforma el relato en escena.

The Mystery of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) by Katherine Routledge explores one of the world's greatest archaeological mysteries. Discover the history behind the iconic Moai statues, the rise and decline of the Rapa Nui civilization, ancient Polynesian culture, and the enduring questions surrounding this remote Pacific island. Based on Routledge's groundbreaking expedition and research, this...

En medio del océano Pacífico, una isla volcánica cubierta de gigantes de piedra desafió durante siglos la comprensión del mundo. La historia oficial decía que sus habitantes habían destruido su propio ecosistema hasta provocar el colapso total de su civilización. Los moáis abandonados, la falta de árboles y el aislamiento extremo parecían confirmar esa teoría.  Pero nuevas investigaciones comenzaron a revelar algo inquietante: tal vez Rapa Nui nunca se derrumbó de la forma en que nos contaron. Estudios genéticos, análisis arqueológicos y evidencia climática sugieren que la isla sobrevivió durante siglos adaptándose a condiciones imposibles… y que el verdadero desastre llegó mucho después, con la colonización europea.  Lo que parecía una advertencia sobre el fin de una civilización podría ser, en realidad, una historia completamente distinta.

Imagine living in a place so remote that the nearest inhabited land is over two thousand kilometres away. No neighbours. No easy escape. Just ocean in every direction. And across the island are hundreds of giant stone heads, carved by hand. This place exists… and people have lived there for centuries. This episode will look at Easter Island, or Rapa Nui as it is known locally. Easter Island is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, one of the most isolated inhabited islands on Earth, and home to hundreds of giant stone heads. So how did humans even get here? How did people cross vast oceans, reach this tiny volcanic island, and then decide to stay? And how did they organise a society capable of carving and moving some of the largest stone statues ever created? In today's episode of Thinking in English, we're travelling to the edge of the world to explore one of the most fascinating human stories ever told. And we'll learn some English vocabulary along the way!

Rapa Nui, known to Western cultures as Easter Island for centuries, has long been a source of mystery. While the massive stone statues that populate the island's landscape have loomed in the popular Western imagination since Europeans first set foot there in 1722, in recent years, the island has gained infamy as a cautionary tale of eco-destruction. The island's history as it's been written tells of Polynesians who carelessly farmed, plundered their natural resources, and battled each other, dooming their delicate ecosystem and becoming a warning to us all about the frailty of our natural world. But what if that history is wrong? In The Island at the Edge of the World: The Forgotten History of Easter Island (Bloomsbury, 2025), archeological writer and scholar Mike Pitts offers a direct challenge to the orthodoxy of Rapa Nui, bringing to light new research and documents that tell a dramatic and surprising story about what really led to the island's downfall. Relying on the latest archaeological findings, he paints a vastly different portrait of what life was like on the island before the first Europeans arrived, investigating why a Polynesian people who succeeded for centuries throughout the South Pacific supposedly failed to thrive in Rapa Nui. Pitts also unearths the vital story of one of the first anthropologists to study Rapa Nui, an Oxford-trained iconoclast named Katherine Routledge, who was instrumental in collecting firsthand accounts from the Polynesians living on Rapa Nui in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But though Routledge's impressive scholarship captured the oral traditions of what life had been like pre-1722, her work was widely dismissed because of her gender, her reliance on indigenous perspectives, and her conclusions which contradicted her historical peers. A stunning work of revisionism, this book raises critical questions about who gets to write history and the stakes of ignoring that history's true authors. Provocative and illuminating, The Island at the Edge of the World will change the way people think about Easter Island, its colonial legacy, and where the blame for its devastation truly lies. Mike Pitts is a writer and broadcaster, archaeologist and former museum curator. His books include A Fairweather Eden: Excavations at Boxgrove, Hengeworld, Digging for Richard III, Digging up Britain, and How to Build Stonehenge. He has also written for almost all of the important British newspapers - the Guardian, Observer, Times, Sunday Times, Telegraph, New Scientist, BBC History Magazine, Spectator and other papers and magazines - and conduct original research and publish in peer-reviewed journals. He also edited British Archaeology magazine for 20 years and is a Fellow of the London Society of Antiquaries.

Buenos días. Cuesta arriba se le ha puesto el camino a la Fiscalía que encabeza la indagatoria en el caso ProCultura en la Región Metropolitana por el traspaso de $1.600 millones desde la gobernación para un programa de prevención del suicidio. Ayer la Corte de Apelaciones rechazó el desafuero solicitado para el gobernador Claudio Orrego, lo que se suma al que hace unas semanas hiciera a las medidas cautelares para cuatro imputados en el caso. El Ministerio Público no ha anunciado los pasos que seguirá. Mientras, el Presidente Boric viajará hoy a Rapa Nui, por primera vez en los cuatro años de mandato. Una gira tildada de “tardía” por las autoridades locales, ya que se realiza a menos de un mes de que deje el cargo.

En SBS On Demand te recomendamos en febrero el documental sobre la reconocida pianista pascuense Mahani Teave llamado "Song of Rapa Nui" y la emotiva película romántica "Gloria Bell". Puedes ver todos estos contenidos de forma totalmente gratuita en nuestra plataforma SBS On Demand.

Buenos días. La jornada de hoy será decisiva para el gobernador de la Región Metropolitana, Claudio Orrego, pues la Corte de Apelaciones de Santiago revisará la solicitud de desafuero en el marco del caso ProCultura. Si acoge el requerimiento, la autoridad quedará suspendida de su cargo y habilitada para ser formalizada. En paralelo, los últimos días del Presidente Gabriel Boric en La Moneda siguen sumando dificultades. Pese a haber situado la presencia en regiones y la descentralización como ejes de su administración, su próxima visita a Rapa Nui enfrenta cuestionamientos de la alcaldesa de la isla, Elizabeth Arévalo Pakarati -quien recientemente se reunió con el Presidente electo José Antonio Kast-, que la calificó de “absolutamente tardía” y advirtió: “Me produce además profunda preocupación que, durante los cuatro años de su gobierno, no haya existido una visita a Rapa Nui, pese a que su administración habló con fuerza sobre descentralización y fortalecimiento de los pueblos originarios”.

Often in the history of science, myths overrun scientific findings and take hold with such force that they are difficult or nearly impossible to dislodge from public understanding. Perhaps no example of this phenomenon is more pronounced than that of the societal collapse of Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui. With us to unravel the myth from the science is Mike Pitts. Mike is a writer and broadcaster (a frequent voice on BBC radio), archaeologist (directing excavations at Stonehenge), and one-time museum curator. He has written for The Times, Telegraph, Sunday Times, Observer, and Guardian, and many magazines including New Scientist, Archaeology, and BBC History. He edited British Archaeology magazine for 20 years and has written books on topics ranging from the discovery of Richard III's grave to How to Build Stonehenge. His original research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, World Archaeology, and Antiquity. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

Tell us about your Adventure!Tell us about your Adventure!Easter Island, known as Rapa Nui, is a remote jewel that beckons travelers with its rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Famous for its iconic Moai statues, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers rare insights into ancient Polynesian culture. If you're planning a visit, we highly recommend the island's captivating environment.

Catherine (Katie) Ulissey, wife and research partner of geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, found her early years shaped by dance. Conservatory trained, she turned professional at the age of 16, performing with classical ballet and contemporary dance companies, and later transitioning to musical theater, performing on Broadway in a number of productions including the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to her husband's research, including connecting Easter Island's previously undeciphered rongorongo script to global “plasma petroglyphs” first identified by renowned physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This discovery shifted her husband's research toward our Sun as the probable cause of the end of the last ice age. Related to this, she noticed giant Lichtenberg patterns emanating from beneath the Great and Second Pyramids on the Giza Plateau (dendritic patterns would be consistent with plasma ejected during massive solar outbursts). More recently, she has offered an hypothesis regarding the potential “Ancient and Intentional Burial of Ancient Egypt” (in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe). She holds a B.A. from Emerson College (2002) and stays connected to her dance roots by teaching ballet at Wellesley College. She is the author of a children's book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. The subsequently excavated 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey confirmed these assertions.Dr. Schoch's more recent research has focused on the cataclysmic events that ended Earth's last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, simultaneously decimating the high civilizations of the time. The overwhelming evidence drawn from varying disciplines, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), points to enormous solar outbursts as the cause.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), Origins of the Sphinx (2017), and the 2nd edition (revised and expanded) of Forgotten Civilization, subtitled New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.It was at the instigation of the late John Anthony West (1932—2018) that Dr. Schoch first began studying the age of the Sphinx. The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch, working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki, discovered in the early 1990s and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records" remains unexplored.In 2010 (and grateful to the dignitaries who made it possible), Dr. Schoch married former ballet and Broadway dancer Catherine Ulissey in both civil and traditional Rapanui ceremonies on Easter Island.Dr. Schoch's website is www.robertschoch.com.- - - - -Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

¿De dónde podían haber venido sus habitantes? ¿Habían llegado a sus costas a propósito o arrastrados por las olas? ¿Provenían de América, de donde vinieron también los primeros exploradores modernos, o llegaron desde el oeste?

This 'best-of-episode' features three popular segments from the Megalithic Marvels podcast. In part one I talk about the infamous Aztec "Death Whistles" and even play for you what they sound like - be prepared to freak! In part two, my friend Stepehen joins me to discuss Graham Hancock's latest theories regarding Rapa Nui. In part 3, I break down the exciting news of a recent discovery in Peru of incredible geoglyphs that were hidden near the Nazca desert. JOIN ME ON A TOUR

It's been almost exactly a year since we had Brien Foerster on the show, and we welcome him back to talk about his research in Egypt, attempts to date Puma Punku, and updates on his work on Elongated Skulls. Brien was born in Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A. but grew up on the west coast of Canada. At age 11, he became fascinated with the Native art of the Haida native people, and began carving totem poles, and other related art forms, learning from Native teachers. After completing an Honours Bachelor Of Science degree, Brien decided to take up carving and sculpture full time, at the age of 25. In 1995 he moved to Maui, Hawaii, and was hired as assistant project manager for the building of the 62 foot double hull sailing canoe ( ancestor of the modern day catamaran ) Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani ( Sacred Lizard That Pierces The Heavens ) and the restoration of the famous Mo'olele sailing canoe. This project lasted 2 years. There, having learned how to make Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddles from master carver Keola Sequiera, he started an online outrigger paddle business, which flourished internationally. Peru became his next major area of interest. The study of the Inca culture led to his writing a book, A Brief History Of The Incas which is available on this site, and is now the assistant director of the Paracas History Museum in Paracas, south of Lima. He is also assisting the municipality of Paracas to improve the number of foreign tourists that visit, as well as is fundamental in expanding tourism in general, especially as regards showing all visitors the 10,000 years of human occupation of this area, through tours of major and minor archaeological sites. Other projects, which will result in published books, include one about the ancient history of Hawaii, the mysterious stone monuments of Peru that predate the Inca, and the search for the lost continent of Mu. This will require combining all that he has learned so far, with trips to New Zealand (Aotearoa), Hawaii, and Easter island (Rapanui.) He is the author of 8 books, appearances on Ancient Aliens, numerous radio interviews, and resides in Peru with his wife. Brien's webpage: www.hiddenincatours.com Hosted on Acast.
