Our Earth, as seen from space, was long thought to be entirely explored. Yet, hidden among the deep sea wonders lies Easter Island, discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday in 1722.
He named the island after the holiday, leaving his mark on a land filled with giant statues whose origins remain a long-standing mystery due to limited resources. But what if a new discovery surpasses what we thought we knew of Easter Island? Join us as we uncover the secrets of an island that countless explorers have overlooked for centuries, potentially the richest island on Earth.
From a Russian satellite, Earth looks amazing with its continents and oceans covered by thin clouds and lit by the sun from far away. But this view is just a snapshot. Earth has changed a lot over time and hasn't always looked this way from space.
When Europeans first came across Easter Island, the story was full of exciting historical details. It was Jacob Roggeveen, a Dutch explorer, who landed there during his search for a supposed Southern continent.
He arrived at Easter Sunday in 1722, which led to the island's current name. Naming it after a holiday might seem clever, but it also shows how explorers imposed their culture onto new places they visited.
