It is unknown who made Easter Island heads (called "moai" ). It is believed that they were made in IV or V A.D. It is also unknown the technique used to build them from 1 single block of rock and is hard to understand how they could move them and get them rise, since some of the moais can be more than 10 metres high and weight over 20 tons.
by collecting the right tools and things to make the moai
Easter is about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. That's the main point. It is also a time to spend with your family, and it's a time to eat lots of chocolate, but those stuff are just for fun.
Easter Island Heads have been examined for decades and yet no answer can be given to the mystery as to why they were made. Thor Heyerdahl spent several months there and wrote of his experiences in Aku-Aku. The statues were made on the island and partially complete ones can be found in a quarry. The natives also demonstrated a method that could be used to move them and set them into place.
I think a long time ago, the people of Aku-Aku built the statues to scare away some of the other countries.
Or, they could have some religious significance.
No. There is no a name for the heads of the East Island.
Mostly they face away from the beach toward inland. It's believed they were watching over the villages. If you mean compass direction they didn't face any particular compass direction, or they faced various compass directions, whichever you prefer.
No one is really sure of this because we don't know who made them or how they actually got there. Some say they symbolize gods or ancient warriors
Because they were made so long ago that no one knows anything about them.
Easter is the weekend where all Christians celebrate the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Yes they do! Archaeologists studying the hundreds of stone statues on the Pacific Island excavated two of the figures, revealing full torsos, which measure as high as 33 feet.
It might hae been the natives on the island.This is a question that has no answer
The tallest statue was 32.45 ft tall
We do not have very detailed records of the culture that produced the giant stone heads of Easter Island, but as far as we can tell these heads were not religious in nature, but rather were intended as visible signs of the wealth and power of the people who owned them, kind of like the Easter Island equivalent of driving a very expensive car to impress the neighbors.
Yes. Moais aren't eternal. It is known that their level has decreased from 15 to 20 centimeters due to erosion caused by wind, water, sun and the action of men and animals.
In 1981 an expert in monuments conservation from UNESCO studied and defined the treatment for moais. The procedure consist in drying the statue, isolating it from rain, to remove all microorganisms like fungus, lichen and algaes and to add a chemical 10 cms deep to avoid physical damage due hits. After that an impermeable solution should be added to avoid water from entering inside.
