... Spanish eyes ...

Rapa Nui

 

Elvis Presley : youtu.be/mIyXFyR9JBQ

 

I just wanted to paraphrase the famous song, "Blue Spanish Eyes", also sung by Elvis.

 

In fact, Rapa Nui belongs to Chile from 1888.

A few years ago, with my brazilian brother, I went to visit Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Isla de Pascua.

The place is definitely magical and, in my opinion, visited long ago by a race of aliens, which had subjugated the natives.

I think that, in order to please those they believed Gods, the natives built an incredible number of gigantic monoliths, lining the whole perimeter of the island.

And when the so-called Gods left, they continued on building the statues, offering sacrifices and waiting for the return of those worshiped beings .

Such enormous (and crazy) activity led to the deforestation and loss of natural resources. Eventually, the barren island has received the coup de grâce because the wild tourism, after centuries of complete isolation from the rest of the world.

Anyway, I underline, that's my own opinion ... for further info, please, find:
