Easter Island
Easter Island is a remote volcanic island inhabited by the Rapa Nui people who built massive stone statues. The island has few natural resources and no trees due to deforestation. When discovered by Jacob Roggeveen in 1722, the Rapa Nui population was in decline and their civilization had collapsed, likely due to overconsumption of limited resources and resulting environmental damage preventing escape. The island is now a territory of Chile and lessons can be learned from the Rapa Nui people about maintaining a sustainable way of life.
Easter Island Powerpoint
Easter Island is located in the Pacific Ocean. The island is home to hundreds of giant stone statues called Moai that were carved and placed on stone platforms called Ahu. The document discusses how scientists believe the island looked when people first arrived and became deforested over time, as well as how the island appears now after the period of Moai building. It also briefly mentions visiting Easter Island and includes a list of sources for more information.
Easter Island
Easter Island is located 2400 miles off the coast of Chile and has a population of about 20,000 people. It has a tropical climate with average temperatures of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The economy relies heavily on tourism, as the island is most famous for its moai statues carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1100-1680 AD. There are 887 moai scattered across the island, some as tall as 33 feet. In addition to visiting the moai, other attractions include scuba diving, hiking, horseback riding and swimming at beaches like Anakena.
Story of Easter Island
The document summarizes the history of Easter Island and the downfall of its civilization. It describes how the island was originally lush with forests and resources when people first arrived. As the population grew, they cut down more trees to build and move statues, not realizing that the forests provided important ecological functions like retaining soil and attracting rain. Eventually, all the trees were cut down, causing the soil to erode and crops to fail. The civilization then collapsed as resources became scarce and the people were unable to leave the island without boats. The story serves as a warning about how civilizations can destroy their environment and cause their own downfall by ignoring ecological impacts.
Easter island
The people of Easter Island live in small wooden houses built with timber imported from Chile and New Zealand. They get their water from pipes and have showers in their homes or at the beach. Their diet consists of foods like yam, lobster, chicken, sweet potatoes, fish, and poi made from taro. The indigenous people are Polynesian and the population declined dramatically from an original 15,000 to just 2,000 by 1722, though it has since rebounded to around 5,800 currently. In 2007, 50,000 tourists visited the island each year to see the large moai statues carved from stone that still remain a mystery as to how they were constructed.

Easter Island appears regularly at the scientific papers, because of its particular characteristics as an extremely isolated small world, and the huge potential it has to study its colonization, the rise and the demise of its native population and its ecology. For me it is a special pleasure to write about it, because I was a visitor of Easter Island and am still impressed about what I saw and learned there.
Easter Island by group 3
Easter Island is located in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It has around 3,791 inhabitants and its only city is Hanga Roa, which belongs to Chile. The island is known for its 887 large stone statues called moai, which were carved from volcanic rock and represent deceased ancestors of the Rapa Nui people. While the purpose and method for moving the massive statues is still debated, the moai culture mysteriously declined in the 16th century possibly due to overpopulation, famine, and conflict on the small island.

Easter Island is located in the South Pacific Ocean and was settled by people from Polynesia in 900 AD. The island is home to hundreds of massive stone statues called Moai that were carved and transported by the Rapa Nui people, some weighing up to 20 tons. While the exact methods are unknown, it is believed the statues were moved into place by rolling them on logs and putting sweet potatoes underneath to ease their movement. Easter Island poses many mysteries around how these giant statues were carved and erected given the island's isolated location.

Inca Civilization
The Inca Empire flourished from 1200-1532 AD in the Andes Mountains of western South America. It was founded by Pacachuti and had its capital in Cuzco. The Inca were ruled by an emperor called the Sapa Inca, who had absolute control. They developed an extensive road network and practiced organized agriculture, growing crops like corn and potatoes. The Inca also had a complex religion with Inti as the sun god and engaged in child sacrifice during important events. The Spanish led by Francisco Pizarro conquered the weakened Inca Empire after a civil war in 1531 AD.
Pompeii the lost city
The city of Pompeii was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, covering the city in ash and lava. The archaeological site of Pompeii was discovered accidentally in the 18th century while excavating the nearby city of Herculaneum. Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli led extensive excavations of Pompeii starting in 1860, carefully digging out buildings and artifacts that provided insights into daily life and culture of the Roman era. Many artifacts uncovered, including casts of human and animal forms preserved by the volcanic material, are now displayed at the archaeological museum in Naples and the Pompeii site itself, offering the public a glimpse into an ancient civilization suddenly abandoned nearly 2,000 years ago

Inca Civilization- Rise and Fall
The Inca civilization originated in Peru in the 13th century and grew into a large empire under the rule of Pachacuti in the 15th century. The Incas built an extensive network of roads and aqueducts, developed advanced agricultural techniques, and created impressive stone architecture. However, the smallpox virus and the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro weakened and defeated the Inca in the 1530s. Pizarro captured and executed the Inca emperor Atahualpa, claiming control of the former Inca territory for Spain.
Incas empire
The Inca Empire spanned much of western South America from Colombia to central Chile. It was divided into four regions each governed by appointees who oversaw productive valleys, cities, and mines. Inca society was strictly stratified with the Sapa Inca as ruler and nobility, common people, and servants comprising other classes. The Incas developed advanced infrastructure including roads, architecture, agriculture, and education systems, but the empire disintegrated after the death of Huayna Capac due to a war between his two sons over succession to the throne.

Pompeii
The document summarizes the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It provides details on the timeline of events, including Vesuvius erupting on August 24th, spewing ash and lava that killed residents over the next day. Approximately 1,500 bodies have been recovered between the two cities, though the total death toll remains unknown. Mount Vesuvius is described as a composite volcano located near Pompeii and Herculaneum that has produced two different types of eruptions over time.
A Buried Roman City, Pompeii
Pompeii was a Roman town near Naples that was partially buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, covering it in 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice. Along with the town of Herculaneum, Pompeii was destroyed and buried during the catastrophic two-day eruption of Vesuvius. The town remained lost for almost 1700 years before being rediscovered in 1749.

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near Mount Vesuvius in Italy. The fertile land and coastal access made it a desirable settlement over centuries, with architecture reflecting successive rulers like the Greeks and Romans. In 62 AD, an earthquake damaged much of the city. After 17 years of rebuilding, Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, burying Pompeii under ash and killing about 2,000 people. The ruins left behind provide insight into Roman life and architecture at the time through preserved structures and ash-casted human remains.

- 1. Stone Giants Easter Island One of the most isolated places on Earth with a impressive and mysterious culture.
- 2. So how small is Easter Island? Pacific Ocean at 27 degrees south of the equator and some 2200 miles (3600 kilometers) off the coast of Chile.
- 3. A jewel of an island floating in an endless sea volcanic craters lava formations beaches and the brilliant blue water small, hilly massive statues that dot the coastline treeless island of volcanic origin
- 4. Admiral Roggeveen, named it Easter Island on Easter Day in 1722 2,000 miles from the nearest population center, (Tahiti and Chile) People who built the statues were of Peruvian descent or where they?
- 7. population grew rapidly outpaced the island's capacity to renew itself social and cultural collapse forests was gone, the rich ground cover had eroded away springs had dried up vast flocks of birds disappeared no fishing - no wood to build canoes famine and then cannibalism This lead to total chaos
- 8. Once There Was a mountain formations fishing streams hills forest rich soil So ----- have we learned from their mistakes?
- 9. But before we abandon all hope – take look at Easter Island today………………….. Does anyone have any question?

Editor's Notes
- Ask? How did it get the name Easter island? Why Isolated Why do you think Easter Island is mysterious? Why Impressive? How big “really” are the statues?
- Middle of the Pacific ocean - 64 square miles in size (about twice the area of Charleston, WV)
- A jewel of an island floating in an endless sea. A seemingly never-ending supply of raw materials. Technological advances. Population growth. Depletion of resources. War. Collapse. Sound familiar? The Easter Island story is a story for our times. We too are on an island floating on an endless sea. There are differences, of course. It could be said that Easter Island is tiny and that it was only a matter of time before the resources in such a closed system were used up. But there are parallels between the islanders' attitude towards their environment and "YES" our own.
- WHY?
- great statues of the same gaunt human face! Four hundred were finished. Five hundred more had been abandoned in various states of completion. finished ones were as tall as 33 feet One, still in the quarry, was to have been 65 feet tall -- a 240-ton monolith. These are the works of a strong, energetic people. What could've happened to them?
- Class participation: So what went wrong?
- The barren lands and social strife that Admiral Roggeveen reported during his visit in 1722 make it difficult to imagine the extraordinary culture that had flowered on the island during the previous 1400 years.
