Skull Island Introduction
- Main article: Skull Island.
Skull Island has long been sinking into the ocean due to its being located on the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates. It was formerly part of a larger landmass called Gondwanaland, but over time the plates that created the island began to destroy it, making it highly unstable. When Skull Island fell away from Gondwanaland, its indigenous species went with it, but the dwindling land and resources made the ecosystem incredibly competitive.
At some point in its history, people theorized to be from Southeast Asia came to the island, likely with the ancestors of the Kong. However, at least one thousand years before the 20th Century, they disappeared, leaving only their wall and their cities behind, which were slowly retaken by nature.
