All righty, so.. From even just my short time reading, I can see a few interesting observations regarding the Tangata Manu and the anthropomorphic Bird people from Easter Island.

Firstly, I am going to venture that there were no alien Birdmen, or women. My interpretation is that the Birdmen (Tangata Manu) are representations of individuals from the community who dawn the appearance of a bird for certain ceremonies, rituals and maybe even games.

Here is a photo of two statuettes. They are the Tangata Manu, or Birdmen of Easter Island. If we look at them, we can see that the "beaks" of the birds clearly rest on top of the statuette's nose. I suppose it is possible that a Bird humanoid could have both a nose and a beak, but to me that seems unlikely. So, here we have an example of the Birdmen being humans dressed in a bird outfit.



In the next image, we also find instances in which the inhabitants of Easter Island made clothes that resembled birds; Head dresses made of feathers.



Again, more instances in which the Islanders wore clothes made from feathers. In this picture, you see an islander as well as a famous carving from the Isle. Note the similarity in appearance between the two in the head dresses.



We also find many images of Manutara, which is the corner stone of the bird cult Tangata Manu. He's shown below as he is usually depicted, and a quick Wikipedia search gave this of Manutara:



Manutara is the Rapa Nui language name for the Grey-backed Tern and Sooty Tern birds. Both arrive at Easter Island and hatch their eggs on the island called Motu Nui, an event that was used for an annual rite called Tangata manu.




It's my guess that the pictures from the OP are of the Tangata Manu, or Birdmen of Easter Island. Specifically, they are photos of depictions of the Manutara.

Sadly, no aliens Still a very beautiful place though if you ask me.

Pacal's craft with it's system's of controls side by side with those of the Rapa Nui. (Byrd please spare me that pacal is flying the tree of life into the underworld.)

Hans: Ah debris765nju, the claims for Pacal's crypt lid being a cut away of a spaceship were made before Maya could be fully read. It now can be and its clearly says what it is. A summary below



Translation of the writing associated with the Crypt lid.

The widely accepted interpretation of the sarcophagus lid is that Pacal is descending into Xibalba, the Maya underworld. Around the edges of the lid are glyphs representing the Sun, the Moon, Venus, and various constellantions, locating this event in the nighttime sky. Below him is the Maya water god, who guards the underworld. Beneath Pacal are the "unfolded" jaws of a dragon or serpent, into whose mouth Pacal the Great descends.

This is a common iconographic representation of the entrance to the underworld. It is repeated in Mayan art.






These two mechanisms a half a world apart are fundamentally the same.


Hans: Your opinion but in fact not at all compelling - it might help if you had better pictures. Oh by the way they are not half a world apart more like 1/6th of the world but hey why let facts get in the way of hyperbole, eh? LOL


The entire rapa nui birdman thing was to become like the alien grey's who landed there,repaired their ship and left.


Hans: Your picture of the birdmen isn't great either, I've seen the originals and in their context. The birdmen "god" was make-make and he appears to be the local cult version of the well known Polynesian god Tane.



The people of Easter island tries to do the same, denuded their forest and food supplies, resorting to cannabilism.


Hans: Did what? The archaeological records shows ecological collapse - I'm unsure of what you are referring to. However even that interpretation is under attack. I would recommend you read the works of Terry Hunter of the University of Hawaii - who disagrees with the disaster theory. I've seen his field work and he might be right.



One thing the trolls missed is that the rotation of the ship completed the human face on the ship.


Hans: Trolls - people disagreeing with your weak argument aren't trolls my friend, learn to take criticism. I don't see how rotation would have this effect.


Hence they started carvinjg stone headed ships themselves.


Hans: "Stone headed ships"???

Very well stated sir. You made some very valid points, all of them logical, and actual based on fact. I would have made a similar post, but debris wild theories are just getting a tad bit old. You should check out some of his other ones, maybe you have the energy to add an intelligent rebuttal to how he views the world. I, for one, have limited energy as nothing seems to get through to him.

Actually this is probably the most sane thread I've ever seen him put together.

hey Hanslune, i too used to listen to what other people wrote and had to say about many areas of research until one fact came clear to me, there is an entire level of knowledge that humans cannot see and as a consequence of, all their findings are false ( because of lack of information) that either was missed or ignored.. I see things that human beings cannot see, i bring out the colors using a highlighter set at point23 and light gray. All colors and shapes come out of that one highlighter, no changes. The colors are visible in the solid white and a tough of gray makes all the spectrum available.

Looks like a pelican puked on a watercolor fingerpainting to me.

What is the point of doing this? Do you fear genuine human interaction, yet have an overriding need for attention?
