How Were Easter Island's Massive Stone Statues Moved? (39 characters
1. How were the Easter
Island Statues moved?
Wonder #10
2. The island’s local
Polynesian name is Rapa
Nui. The name “Easter
Island” came from Dutch
explorer Jacob Roggeveen,
who was the island’s first
European visitor on Easter
Sunday in 1722.
3. It’s a special territory of Chile that is famous
for its 887 huge statues — called moai — that
were created by the early Rapanui people
between 1100 and 1680.
4. Huge stone moai
statues are
sometimes
referred to as
“Easter Island
heads.”
This nickname is a
bit misleading,
though, since
most of the
statues have
bodies.
5. Almost all of the statues
were carved out of
solidified volcanic ash from
an extinct volcano called
Rano Raraku.
6. Although many statues
remain in the quarry at
Rano Raraku, many
others were
transported to other
areas of Easter Island.
7. A single moai statue could
have taken a team of six
men about one year to finish.
