[00:00.695] Before long, each clan was trying to carve larger,grander figures
[00:04.941] than those of their neighbours - competition that was to be their undoing.
[00:15.317] Vast quantities of wood were used to transport the stone statues,
[00:20.289] and slowly but surely,
[00:21.618] the Rapa Nui used up their island's precious resources.
[00:26.355] Eventually,
[00:27.307] their civilisation descended into chaos and warfare.
[00:31.260] Clan fought against clan,
[00:33.392] with disastrous consequences.
[00:55.145] By the time of their ultimate collapse,
[00:57.353] the Rapa Nui had changed their island beyond recognition.
[01:08.045] These are the hills where the giant palm forest once stood.
[01:12.708] And these are the cliffs that once rang to the sound of those huge seabird colonies,
[01:17.664] all hunted to extinction by the Rapa Nui.
[01:24.177] Today, the giant stone statues are a poignant reminder of the precarious nature of life on remote islands.
