Original research?[edit]

This article contains speculations and inaccurate information. Hanau epe are a legend from Rapa nui people. Long ears probably lived in Easter Island, but their origin hasn't been discovered. A South American origin is a theory, but there are others too. Bye. Lin linao 14:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article uses sources of questionable reliability, tried to justify the speculations that contains... --Yakoo 19:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some references and reworded the parts that seemed contentious. I'll leave up the references tag for a while, but it seems to me that the article reads fine now.--Quywompka 19:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, current redaction is better :). Bye. Lin linao 21:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Manu Motu Motiro Hiva ("Bird's islet on the way to a far away land")[edit]

"Birds' islet" can only be "motu manu," not the other way around
Englert has it as "Motu Motiro Hiva." No "manu."
Under the dictionary entry "titiro" Englert explains: this is very probably the reduplicated form of the verb tiro which, preceded by the particle mo, occurs in the old name of the islet Sala y Gómez Motu Motiro Hiva and seems to mean: Islet situated opposite Hiva.

Hanau Epe[edit]

Englert opines that they have nothing to do with "long ears," but that hanau epe is a misinterpretation of hanau eepe "the stout people" (well-fed, so, presumably, the ruling class) as opposed to hanau momoko "the thin people." JacquesGuy (talk) 11:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article's last sentence is nonsense.[edit]

"However, not exist evidence of fossil human DNA, indicating an extinct people of American origin in Easter Island."

Seems like a lot of edits have occurred without respect to the surrounding content causing a couple weird sentence fragments and odd tenses. I have no idea what to make the last sentence. Matthew Meta (talk) 14:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the history page, find External tools, click on revision history search, put in some text, and you find that the sentence was added in that form last September.

However - I don't think anything in that section mentions the subject of the article, and thus doesn't belong in the article (something I learned the hard way - well, not quite, I didn't get blocked - when I was new. You can't put in arguments that don't actually discuss the subject. So, thanks for working on this, but I'm deleting it if I can't find sources mentioning the Hanau Epe. History of Easter Island could use some attention also. Dougweller (talk) 15:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible source[edit]

If anyone wants to work on this article, [1] is a link to The enigmas of Easter Island: island on the edge By John Flenley, Paul G. Bahn, a RS. Dougweller (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Roggeven typo[edit]

Unlikely Roggeven did any research in 1772; his wikipedia article says he died in 1729. Thor Heyerdahl's article says 1722.
