	Mata Nui Expedition One: Island History
		Mata Nui is 497 kilometers (303 miles) WSW of its more famous sister island, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and 4200 km off the west coast of Chile.
		Most of the island is volcanic in nature, with several very fine sandy beaches, granite and limestone cliffs, and some basaltic regions.
		These legends also tell of a peaceful life on Mata Nui until "the feuding of brothers" began; this is also the time when several warriors appeared (it is unclear from where), named in the local Rongorongo dialect as "tua" or "toa" which means "warrior" or "guerilla".

	A Short Prehistory and History of Easter Island
		Rapa Nui is almost 2,500 miles [4,023 kilometers] from the coast of South America and, in the other direction, it is 2,000 miles [3,219 kilometers] to Tahiti.
		The exact number of moai on Rapa Nui is unknown because many lie buried in piles of rubble or beneath the soil at the statue quarry; the estimates vary from 800 to 1,000.
		Later, the island was further depopulated as many Rapanui were induced to leave for other islands: nearly 200 went to Tahiti to work on plantations and another 150 were moved to the Gambier Islands.

	Mata Nui Expedition One: Overview
		A small team of two professors and three archeology and anthropology students from Ojai, California, USA became interested in the nearly-forgotten island of Mata Nui, commonly referred to as the "Ghost Island of Oceana" (although it is not technically affiliated with the island nations that comprise Oceana).
		A short stop at Rapa Nui's only town of Hanga Roa for topping off food and water, and interviewing some of the local people, followed by the brief journey to Mata Nui, were the only interruptions to a final landing on the northeastern shore of Mata Nui on June 20, 2001.
		Expedition One merely scratched the surface of this well-kept mystery, and extensive studies in archaeology, geology, and anthropology are needed to understand the history and significance of this island's ancient history.

	Easter Island
		It is now recognized that the original inhabitants of Easter Island are of Polynesian stock (DNA extracts from skeletons have recently confirmed this), that they most probably came from the Marquesas or Society islands, and that they had arrived as early as 318 AD (carbon dating of reeds from a grave confirms this).
		Because the island could no longer feed the chiefs, bureaucrats and priests who kept the complex society running, chaos resulted, and by 1700 the population dropped to between one-quarter and one-tenth of its former number.
		The ahu platforms of Easter Island were the sanctuaries of the people of Rapa Nui, and the moai statues were the ritually charged sacred objects of those sanctuaries.
