n the heart of the Pacific Ocean, over 2,000 miles from the nearest continent, lies one of the world’s most iconic archaeological treasure troves - Rapa Nui, known to the outside world as Easter Island. Famed for the towering stone faces of the moai, the island has undergone extraordinary transformations since it was first settled.
Joining us to shed some light on this mysterious island is James Grant-Peterkin, a cultural historian and someone who lived and worked on the island for over 20 years. Watch this full episode as Dan and James talk about Polynesian history.
