I'm an anthropology major, but sadly have never been thought of as a deep thinking creature. Thus, I agree that about 3 days is a nice stop. I was out there last summer and it was just fantastic.
I definitely suggest picking up
The Complete Guide to Easter Island from the
Easter Island Foundation if you make the trip.
