Something Strange May Have Been Discovered By Archaeologists On Easter Island

Disappearance Theory

Some have theorized that rats were responsible for the inhabitant’s disappearance. Historians claimed that a food surplus may have attracted rodents who hid themselves in the first settlers’ canoes. Thus, the rats ate away at vegetation, stunting regrowth and securing their place as a staple of the local diet. Archaeological discoveries of rat bones were seen as support of this theory.
