ARCHAEOLOGISTS HAVE FOUND SOMETHING STRANGE ON THE EASTER ISLAND, A PLACE ALREADY BRIMMING WITH MYSTERIES
Rose J. RegaladoMore To The Name
Before being known as how it is known today the place had a lot of names. The oldest name recorded is- Te Pito o Te Henua which translates to “The Center of the World.” Mata-Ki-Te-Rani is another name islanders gave this place which in English translates to “Eyes Looking at Heaven.” Tahitian sailors named it Rapa Nui in the 1860s and the history is well known from there.
