Easter Island - Where Giants Walked

Paul Cooper examines one of archaeology's most enduring puzzles: the mystery of Easter Island where, on one of the world's most isolated islands, hundreds of vast stone statues lie moldering in the grass. Cooper discusses how this unique community grew up in complete isolation, severed from the rest of the world by a vast expanse of ocean, explains of how it survived for so many centuries, and analyzes the evidence to reveal what brought this society, and its statues, crashing down.
