This study which uncovers new scientific evidences of our ancestors courage, daring and superiour navigational wisdoms is only the begining. However, it is known to our people of Polynesia and to our ancestors that navigation were aided by heavenly guidance and now we are going to discover evidences of their doings. History in Rapa Nui will point to the fact that our ancestors navigated far and wide with much success but majority of the westerns are not willing to credit them. But we are, for we know our ancestors were smart people, courageous, and endowed with wisdoms from above.
Long live our ancestors!
Sincerely,
