1
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,480
- You see the trees?
- Yeah.

2
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,600
- And now the terrain.
- Now we take it down.

3
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,600
Here we have round octagonal.

4
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,840
This octagon, it's about 100 meters.

5
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Diameter.

6
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,080
This is road
with embankments on both sides.

7
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,920
- An ancient road?
- Ancient road, yes.

8
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,760
We found that many of these sites
have been established

9
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840
already 10,000 years ago.

10
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560
We speak, uh, about hundreds of thousands.

11
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,320
This has changed totally
our understanding of Amazonia.

12
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,040
In a historical moment,
we are only 111 persons on the island.

13
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,600
- It's a big disaster.
- For the culture.

14
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,320
It's a cultural disaster too

15
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,320
because you need many people
to keep the knowledge.

16
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,920
Few people, few knowledge.

17
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,960
- Yeah.
- And we lose a big part of our history.

18
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,920
The real name for the Moai
is <i>"te aringa ora o te Tupuna."</i>

19
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,400
- Mm-hmm.
-"The living face of our ancestors."

20
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,560
That is the name.

21
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,640
The idea is
the Moai represent a real person.

22
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,560
And in life,
this person is special, important.

23
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,640
This is because of our different
social classes on the island.

24
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,160
- Yeah.
- Some people have time for long earrings.

25
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,280
They have long nails too.

26
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,280
- It's a social class act.
- Yes.

27
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,080
They have long fingers,

28
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,360
and some Moai have
very long nails and curves too.

29
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,320
Mana is very important.

30
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,920
Mana is the energy.

31
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,280
All the people have mana.

32
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,640
Any rock,
any elements in the universe have mana.

33
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Yeah. People, when they die,

34
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,160
the family send
to make a Moai with the intention,

35
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,920
the soul, the mana, the spirit
of this person entering the Moai.

36
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,680
In the moment,
the Moai is safe on the platform,

37
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,680
the <i>te Puna,</i> the ancestors,
carve in the holes for the eyes first,

38
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,360
and later they put in coral
for the white part

39
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,480
and sometimes obsidian
or other rocks for the eyes.

40
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,080
- Right. Yeah.
- In this moment, it's no more Moai.

41
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,360
Now it's <i>Aringa ora o te Tupuna.</i>
The living face of our ancestors.

42
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,320
- Once it has the eyes?
- Once it has the eyes.

43
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,840
- Right.
- And from the platform, from the Ahu,

44
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,080
the Moai look in direction to the town
and protect the family.

45
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,680
That is the function of the Moai.
