On 19th June 1957 a group of British scientists and archaeologists (later naming themselves AUH (Association of Undiscovered History) were granted access to the island to perform some small scale investigative work. The team, which included scientists such as Dr Reynold Paymen and Lucy Morrison, went with the hope of uncovering the methods by which the giant stone heads called moai were carved but left 10 weeks later with a complete set of evidence to prove black magic (voodoo) practices on the island.
