The Lost Gods of Easter
Island. A carved wooden idol that Attenborough purchased in an auction room is traced back to its origin: Easter
Island. It was cheap because the seller believed it was a forgery. During the course of this programme its whole history is discovered: carved on Easter
Island while there was still wood of the Toromiro tree (now extinct on the
island), to represent the god Makemake, traded with the crew of captain Cook s ship, transported to Tahiti, probably traded by the Tahitians with the crew of an American whaling ship and ended up in the US.
