Statues
on coast line, credit to Easter Island Tour
There
were many theories about statues (moai) on Easter Islands, you might
know some of them: representative of important figures on their
times, cultural important and even images of gods.
Interestingly,
the statues are abundance in certain locations, but rarely found in
other areas of Island. There are around 1 thousand statues on the
island of 15.3 mile (24.6 km) length and 7.6 mile (12.3 km) width.
Total area are 63.2 square mile or 163.6 square km.
Sizes
of statues are very much varies, from 1 m only to 21 m (4 m average)
and weighing average is 14 ton (reach to 86 tonnes). Two most famous
sites of statues called Ahu
Akivi and
Ahu
Tongariki.
Interestingly,
most statues facing inland, but few statues facing ocean. It is
unsual that 7 coastal statues of Ahu
Akivi are
facing
the ocean.
The
current understanding of the important of statues on Easter Island are
or
“why the statues are where they are”:
1)
Good
location to grow crops such as potatoes
2)
Fishing ground
3)
Fresh
water
resources
Thus,
statues are relate to survival of Easter Island ancestors. The
size of statues are indicating the quantity and quality of survival
relate resources.

How interesting that the statues do not face the ocean. Amazing how large they are (in comparison to people). Thanks for this very interesting photo and details and thanks for your comments and follow on my blog, much appreciated.

I remember reading somewhere that it was the islander's obsession with the statues that led to the population being unable to sustain itself.

Easter Island, more appropriately called Rapa Nui , is a remote Polynesian island that hosts nearly 900 megalithic statues called Moai. Each of the completed head-and-torso figures was carved from a single block of stone and transported across the island, despite the fact that the average weight of one is 14 tons..
ReplyDeleteThe Easter Island "heads" on the slope of Rano Raraku volcano. The famous carvings are massive, up to 40 feet (12 meters) tall and 75 tons in weight. They were decorated on top with “Pukao,” a soft red stone in the shape of a hat...
The Moais were built in approximately 1400 - 1650 A.D. by the natives of this island also known as Rapa Nui. ... 95% of the moais were carved from the volcano Rano Raraku...
They stand with their backs to the sea and are believed by most archaeologists to represent the spirits of ancestors, chiefs, or other high-ranking males who held important positions in the history of Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, the name given by the indigenous people to their island in the 1860s..
yes, indeed...

One of the theories I heard about them is that they are representations of extra-terrestrial visitors. The statues, supposedly made up to look like them, are peering at the skies for the visitors' return.
ReplyDeleteYes, my other hat is made of tin foil.

the island became deforested and the population could no longer provide enough food for those living there.
