Because there is more of that island that is underwater now, which wasn't just 12,000 years or so, no telling what we'll find there, if they ever look.
Are you speaking of Rapa Nui? If there was a settlement before the Polynesians arrived it left no trace. I suspect that these people you hope were there limited themselves to just the shore line and never went inland?
You might want to look at studies of the sediments and fossil pollens found on Easter Island. You might also want to read Rutledge and more currently Hunt.
If you are interested in the under sea portion of RN try this book; Easter Island: Scientific Exploration into the World's Environmental Problems in Microcosm by John Loret and John T. Tanacredi ....ya know you don't HAVE to blindly believe everything fringe websites tell you....
will you be mentioning the Easter Island Pyramid? Seems a shame to leave it out.
Damn It! I must have missed that the last time I was there, curses
