A0456: Why were the stone heads created on Easter Island?

These imposing stone heads were used to promote the culture beyond their home island. You heard right! The island was permanently underpopulated, so again and again the island’s council demanded that more couples should start a family so that the population would increase and the community would not die out. The inhabitants were seafarers and many deserted islands were explored by them, but at that time most of the islands near Easter Island were not inhabited. However, the inhabitants of Easter Island also knew that they themselves were not originally from this island, so they had assumed that other tribes would also visit the so-called Easter Island at some point.
They also knew that foreign tribes would gladly accept a welcome, so the council of elders, who provided the first terraces on the shore of the island, also wanted to place something meaningful there at some point. The idea was to attract fresh blood to the island so that stronger descendants could emerge from it. These imposing sculptures were a promise of marriage to foreign seafarers, but the island was in fact not visited by other seafarers during this time, so over generations, more and more resources were used to attract new seafarers.
Easter Island was eventually abandoned and the remaining inhabitants could not reproduce enough, so the population eventually died out. Wood has always been scarce on the island, so the population consumed a lot of it on their last great voyage. The glyphs on some statues symbolise these efforts of the population and one day you will figure it out, but alien beings have never been present on the island. The population reached the southern coast of Latin America and was warmly welcomed there by the local population, so that the bloodline of the Easter Island population is still present in the local population.
