Panel 1:
BRUNO: Over the next few generations, the new inhabitants multiplied thanks to the favorable living conditions. A number of settlements were established along the entire coast. Ten tribes emerged, which were never united politically - under a king, for example - in the course of their history. This was to become very significant later on.
Panel 2:
BRUNO: There is a divergence of scientific opinion regarding the extent of the population growth; however, the most plausible assumption is that the development was dynamic, i.ein other words, that the population increased rapidly and there was a subsequent inability to sustain them. This would suggest a population of approximately 15,000 people on a triangular island 15 kilometres wide and 20 kilometres long.
Panel 3:
BRUNO: The island's natural resources were no longer sufficient to feed so many people. Especially as the Impacts of the Little ice age also set in on Rapa Nui with droughts and other ailments.
There were famines in the 13th and 14th centuries. We know this from the art that was created since that time.

The Mediterranean is far more pleasant if you wish to mix archeology and vacation. Athens is great. Santorini.

Without doubt, one of the most isolated spots in the world and a fascinating place, especially if you want to combine educational and recreational vacations. But if you just want to take a relaxing vacation at the end of the world, I think this is better: https://en.palmeiradacruz.com/

The Malthusian cycle where Population rises exponentially and Food production only increases arithmetically?
Othosmops at 2:02AM, Feb. 10, 2025
The Malthusian cycle also applies to the Neolithic population of Easter Island, but the situation is actually even simpler: such a culture, whose population grows exponentially, inevitably reaches the limit of its resources on such a small island after a comparatively short time.
