'ello, 'ello.
I'm going to tell you about a TV show I saw last night, and it was about Easter Island.
The current thought pattern is that the ancient peoples of the island killed all of the trees so they could move their giant statues and for canoes.
But it wasn't them, it was really the 16th century Europeans.
They had brought disease and rats on their ships, and the rats ate all of the tree seeds.
The islanders didn't need much wood, 'coz the statues walked.
Now you may think I'm crazy, but they did, in fact when the statues were finished, they were lifted up and had ropes tied around them.
When the statues were finished the bases of them weren't, it was in a half circle so they could rock sideways.
There would be 4 teams of men on each corner, and they would chant a song so they would know when to pull on the ropes and keep in time.
It was something like when we "walk" a heavy piece of furniture today, tipping it from corner to corner and side to side, moving it forwards.
Also they've discovered that the eyes weren't just holes in the statues, they used to have big white eyes with pupils made from coral.
They are replacing the coral eyes on the statues now and it makes them look really different, more like a living person that they were supposed to represent.

'ello world once more!
If you read yesterday's newspaper you would have heard about the new South American tribe that was found.
Now, if you haven't read it, don't fear, 'coz I'm going to talk about it.
The catch is I, myself didn't read the newspaper yesterday, so I've got a link up here, so click it.
I think it would be kind of good not having contact with the outside world, now, you may think I'm starting to go crazy, but you wouldn't have wars or conflict with other people.
If I were one of them, I'd be very scared having seen a airplane for the first time, and not knowing what it was.
I also think there will be a great big war between the new tribe and the loggers, 'coz the loggers are killing their world, so that's also the reason why we need to get rid of logging, if we were to get fields and put good tree farms in those fields, then it would be much better.
Plus these sort of tribes that have not been seen before are very rare, and because of logging, lots of tribe that have never seen the outside world have died out.
I personally think it's murder, I mean, yeah it's good to feed your world, but if you were to log forests and other places with tribes that have not had contact with the outside world is bad. Forcing them into another world where nothing that is in that world is anything like the world that they came from is just wrong.
1000's and 1000's of year's of history will be lost forever by doing that, and that race of people will die out completely.
So that's why we need to protect them as if they were on the endangered species list.
We will most likely need them in the long run, and they're human beings, and the tribes disappearing due to logging is murder.
