The easter island
The Easter Island statues, known as Moai, are large human figures carved from volcanic rock that were erected on stone platforms around Easter Island between 1250-1500 CE. The Moai are characterized by oversized heads with prominent brows, noses and chins as well as rectangular ears and deep eye slits, with the exception of one kneeling statue. Archaeologist Claudio Cristino has been instrumental in restoring many of the Moai monuments since the 1970s.
Moai
The moai are massive stone monolith statues carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1250-1500 CE on Easter Island. Some of the largest moai erected reached over 30 feet tall and weighed over 75 tons. Carving and transporting over 800 moai to stone platforms around the island was an incredible creative and physical feat. The moai have distinctive facial features including prominent brows, elongated noses with fish-hook curls, and protruding lips. While the fronts of the statues are highly detailed, the backs generally lack detailed anatomy and the moai do not have legs, except for one that is kneeling.
St patrick and the pirates
St. Patrick was born in 385 in Great Britain and at age 16 was kidnapped by pirates and sold as a slave in Ireland. After six years as a slave, he escaped to France and became a monk. He later returned to Ireland and taught many Irish people to read and write. According to legend, St. Patrick banished all snakes from Ireland by driving them into the sea. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17th in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

Most of the buildings are so old that they would have been as antique to the Egyptians as the Pyramids are to us today. The oldest buildings in the world belong to incredible people who sacrifice for settlements at that time.
L anse aux-meadows
L'Anse aux Meadows is an archaeological site located in Newfoundland, Canada that provides evidence of Viking settlement in North America around the year 1000 AD. The site contains the remains of eight buildings similar to those used by Vikings in Iceland and Greenland at the time. Artifacts found at the site, such as iron nails, rivets, and tools, confirm the settlers were Norsemen. It is believed the settlement served as a waystation for repairing ships and exploring, rather than a long-term colony, and was later abandoned.
SUN ISLAND IN TITICACA LAKE
The document summarizes the history and significance of Sun Island in Lake Titicaca. It describes how according to Inca legend, the sun rose for the first time on Sun Island, emerging Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo who founded the Inca Empire. Later, the Incas built a two-level stone palace and a complex network of rooms and corridors called Chinkana on the island. The island remains an important sacred site for indigenous peoples, containing ancient pottery and secrets left by past cultures.

2) Funded by billionaire Christian brothers, the Ark measures 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and two-by-two animal figures stand outside.
3) In addition to animal exhibits, the Ark theme park includes a luxury hotel, restaurants, and other attractions, though some artistic license was taken in the design.
The vikings job_etc
Viking homes typically had thatched roofs, wood or stone walls, and a hole in the roof to let smoke escape. They contained a central fire hearth to provide heat and light. Vikings wore wool and linen clothes like tunics and trousers that were fastened with belts and brooches. Men and women wore similar styles of dress, and both genders enjoyed wearing jewelry. Most Vikings lived on farms and had jobs like farming, crafts, trading or fighting to defend their communities. They believed in gods like Odin and Thor and were ruled by kings, earls and chieftains, with ordinary freemen and slaves making up the rest of Viking society.

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.
Earth's mysterious places
The document summarizes the history and culture of Easter Island. It discusses how Polynesian settlers arrived around 400 AD and developed a civilization with large stone statues called Moai. By the 18th century, the population declined to 2000-3000 due to overexploitation of resources. Later, Western contact in the 19th century further reduced the population to just 111 inhabitants. The Moai statues, which were carved between 1600-1730, have become an iconic symbol of Easter Island and its once flourishing civilization.
Easter island aolani
The Easter Island heads are large stone statues carved by the Polynesian people of Easter Island between 1313 and 1513. There are approximately 800 moai statues on the island, which are giant human heads made of volcanic rock. The statues were created for unknown reasons, though some believe they were built to protect the island. Easter Island is located in the southeast Pacific Ocean and is now part of Chile.

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.
What can artifacts and rock art tell us?
This document discusses what artifacts and rock art from early humans can tell us. It describes the Lascaux Cave paintings in France that are estimated to be 17,300 years old and primarily depict large animals. An archaeological survey recovered a well-preserved basket from around 8,000 years ago. Another artifact is a small volcanic rock carved to look like a bear around 7,000-8,000 years old. Rock art has been described using various terms throughout history and prehistoric people created cave paintings to communicate with others.
Non human constructions
The document discusses the mysterious stone figures known as moai on Easter Island. It provides details about the nearly 900 human-like figures that average 13 feet tall and weigh 14 tons. The moai were carved from volcanic rock found in a quarry on the island. More than 400 partially completed statues remain in the quarry, and it is unknown why the figures were made or how they came to be placed around the island. The document argues that it would have been impossible for the indigenous people to carve and transport such large stone figures without modern tools or technology, so the moai likely had a non-human origin.

A World of Wonders
Stonehenge in England is one of the most puzzling landmarks, with giant rocks standing in a mysterious circle. Scientists disagree on its purpose, whether it was an astronomical calendar or place of worship. Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, dated to 12,000 years old, was buried for millennia until discovered in 1994. It contains beautifully designed stones depicting animals. The Moai statues of Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean all face one direction and stand as if guarding the island, but their purpose remains a mystery.

Operating System Used by Users in day-to-day life.pptx
Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.

Wonder 9
- 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.
- 8. Some of the statues weigh over 80 tons!!!
