#pacific islanders
Old info i never posted
Many times I show you they often symbolize black/dark people as creatures/monsters in stories/movies.. In this case I’m speaking of the Caipora…It is described as a small dark being often accompanied with a animal.. The mayan vase paintings are just there for reference to show small,dark people did exist in the past which helps draw the connection.. Also used the patupaiarehe example since it’s another humanoid creature that i believe is based on a real people… Pacific islanders are known to have natural blonde & red hair also
Gotta respectfully disagree with the notion an ig friend mentioned awhile ago about the red covering being a fez h the side piece being a tassel… Granted i use to believe that moai top could be a fez , but the other day i started to looki into it..As u can see the sidest are ears moreso elongated … Our hair really is diverse though
Updated info I never uploaded..Same concept that the red top to the Moai heads are more than likely top knots..Also with the sides being ears..The pacific islands is full of red haired & long ear natives to add more
