Easter Island: Giant Stone Statues Tell of a Rich and Tragic Past
eBook
(Caroline Arnold July 30, 2017)
Giant stone statues on Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) reveal a rich and complex history. Few places in the world are as mysterious or intriguing as Easter Island, a tiny, isolated volcanic outcrop in the Pacific Ocean. When Europeans first stumbled on Easter Island in the 1700s they found a rocky, treeless coast lined with rows of giant stone statues, and a quiet farming and fishing community. Since then, this remote island has raised many questions. Who were the first inhabitants, and where did they come from? And why did they create such giant stone structures? Answers to many of these questions have been uncovered by archeologists or found in legends and family histories. This book, illustrated with brilliant color photographs, gives a clear and concise account of one of the most fascinating places on earth.
