Population of Rapa Nui or Easter Island
Approximately 1,200 years ago, the most complex and incredible migration of human history took place, and it was nothing less than the settlement of Rapa Nui, the most isolated island in the world.
The migration would surely have occurred from the island of Rapa Iti, located 1,200 kilometers south of Tahiti, which was sinking. This island was about 2,800 kilometers away from Rapa Nui.
King Hotu Matu "a (Tukuihu) and his Polynesian people sailed in their canoes, after 29 days of navigation to Rapa Nui, one of the 1,000 islands of the Polynesian archipelago, and the last southeast of Tahiti.
