Fantastic Shot I really like it.

said patnlaura1 9 months 29 days ago

The really outstanding thing about this photograph is that it shows--as so many on this subject don't--the evidence of careful excavation that took place over a long period of time to bring these fantastic sculptures to light (again). Regardless of what eventually is discovered about the original purpose of the Easter Island statues, what is made abundantly clear here is humankind's loveable persistence and patience at discovering its own past. (And personally, I love the colors and unusual perspective!) xoxoxo

Excellent shot and perspective. Congrats on POTD and thanks for the detailed description and historical info. Much appreciated.

said lc0708 10 months 1 days ago

The statues were carved by the Polynesian colonizers of the island, mostly between 1250 CE and 1500 CE. In addition to representing deceased ancestors, the moai, once they were erected on ahu, may also have been regarded as the embodiment of powerful living or former chiefs and important lineage status symbols. Completed statues were moved to ahu mostly on the coast, then erected, sometimes with red stone cylinders on their heads. Moai must have been extremely expensive to craft and transport; not only would the actual carving of each statue require effort and resources, but the finished product was then hauled to its final location and erected.Some statues were rock carvings and never intended to be completed. Some were incomplete because when inclusions were encountered the carvers would abandon a partial statue and start a new one (tuff is a soft rock with occasional lumps of much harder rock included init).Some completed statues at Rano Raraku were placed there permanently and not parked temporarily awaiting removal. And some were indeed incomplete when the statue building era came to an end.The moai were either carved by a distinguished class of professional carvers who were comparable in status to high ranking members of other Polynesian craft guilds, or alternatively by members of each clan. The oral histories show that the Rano Raraku quarry was subdivided into different territories for each clan.

said bstanic101 10 months 1 days ago

Congratulations on your featured POTD. This is an amazing and exciting part of the world. Although there are many theory on how the moai were quarried and moved before they were erected, That is all they are; theories!
