Easter Island has puzzled men ever since Europeans first discovered it early in the eighteenth century. Ironically, those first sailors narrowly missed the key to the enigma. If they had landed on the windswept Pacific island only forty years earlier, scholars believe, they might have stumbled upon a highly advanced civilization at the very moment of destroying itself.
