Description
Easter Island, a remote dot in the Pacific Ocean, is one of the world's most famous islands, thanks to its unique artifacts that adorn its coastline and interior. This book comprehensively covers the entire history of Easter Island, from the first settlers' arrival to the mysterious megalith statues known as Moai.
The Moai are remarkable stone figures, some standing over 70 feet tall, yet others less than 4 feet high. The tallest Moai have been a subject of fascination and research, with theories surrounding their creation and purpose still debated today. This book explores the theories behind these statues, as well as other important aspects of Easter Island's history.
With pictures of Easter Island, its famous statues, and other key people and places, this book provides a visual and informative guide to one of the world's most enigmatic islands. A bibliography for further reading is also included, making it an ideal resource for those interested in learning more about this fascinating place.
