Chapter 8 The Mysterious "Man-Bird" Ritual

In the process of archaeological work on Easter Island, archaeologists have proved with eloquent evidence that the aborigines of Easter Island are not the aborigines of Easter Island, they come from the Polynesian island west of Easter Island.The mystical statues of Easter Island predate the Aboriginal people by thousands of years.The reason why the aborigines say that Easter Island is "the navel of the earth" is that their god told them, not their creation, so what is their god? To the surprise of the researchers of Easter Island, the idols worshiped by the residents of Easter Island are completely different from the Polynesian islands, but similar to the Melanesian islands.The most prominent among them is the worship of "human and bird".

The "human-bird" ceremony is that each tribe on the island selects a heroic warrior to swim across the sea to Modo-Nui Island, where he sits in a cave on the island and waits for the arrival of Haiyan.The people of Easter Island devoutly believe that Haiyan is a messenger sent by the great god Mike Mike. The first soldier who got the petrel egg ran to the rock standing by the sea, and shouted to the representatives of the tribe who were waiting by the sea: "Shave your head quickly! The egg is yours!" Then, he jumped into the waves In the undulating sea, wash the bird's egg, tie it on the head with a strap, and swim back to Easter Island with both arms.

When he landed, he took the eggs and ran quickly to Orango.According to the tradition of the island, the first person to send the bird's eggs to Orango, no matter which tribe he belongs to, is the leader of the whole island and has the right to rule the whole island for one year.He will have his head and eyebrows shaved and be named Tangata Manu, which means "human bird".And this year is called by his name, and the islanders respect him as the incarnation of a god.This ceremony of selecting the "human bird" was passed down from generation to generation year after year, until the last "human bird" died when Peruvian pirates attacked Easter Island in 1862, and this ceremony was terminated.

What does this ritual represent?Various legends on the island and the navigators, scholars and missionaries who have been to Easter Island have proved that the worship of "man and bird" is of great significance in Easter Island. It not only selects leaders for the islanders, but also commemorates gods.So, who are the gods? The religion of Easter Island is quite unique.Although the people of Easter Island are Polynesians, they do not enshrine the gods respected by the Polynesian islands. Many of the main gods in the minds of the Polynesians do not occupy their due positions on Easter Island, and are not recognized by the Polynesian islands. The familiar gods are worshiped devoutly by the people of Easter Island.On Easter Island, the god Mike Mike is the head of the gods, and the "man-bird" ceremony is held in honor of him.Some scientists believe that the portrait of the God MacMac on the Orango Mountain Rock is the appearance of a great man who came to Polynesia. He has a pair of big eyes and a human face on a seal-like body.Tangata Manu is also revered by the islanders as a great god. People regard it as the incarnation of "bird master" and "ruler of birds". and the creator of man, but the Polynesian islands have never had the worship of "man and bird".

So, where did Mike Mike God come from?Many people believe that Easter Island is one of the landing places for visitors from the universe, and the prototype of the god Mike Mike is an alien. But why did the "guest from the universe" choose such a small place? According to research, Easter Island was not a lonely island in ancient times, it was part of the ancient continent that sank in the Pacific Ocean - Taipingzhou. When the "space visitor" came to Easter Island, it was still a huge land at that time. "Cosmic visitors" have advanced aircraft, they can see and determine the location of Easter Island from high altitude, so they take this land on the "navel of the earth" as a superior place for them to descend.Here's an explanation.

Another theory is that there have been several high-level civilizations on the earth.The sunken Pacific Island is one of these high civilizations.At that time, people in Pacific Island had a highly developed civilization, they owned aircraft, and they found the "center of the world" on the earth, which is where Easter Island is today.They sculpted tall robot-like statues on Easter Island so that they could find the landing signs as they flew through the sky. The worship of "human and bird" in Easter Island opened a window for us to solve the mystery of "the navel of the earth".
