Besides life, their most important activity on the island is to carve huge stones for their beliefs, day after day, year after year, generation after generation. Each Moai represents a different ancestor and is huge. In this way, they demonstrated the powerful protection ability of their ancestors and the strength of their respective tribes. This complex and huge project seems to be a mystery now.
These stone statues are all artificial works judged by modern science. These stone statues are masterpieces, which have exhausted the strength and wisdom of Rapanui people. The original stone of the stone statue comes from three extinct volcanoes on the island. Tuff is soft and easy to carve. However, there are always insurmountable difficulties on the island. It has no metal. Whether cutting wood or carving stone statues, the hardest thing to find is obsidian near the crater (basalt is also a hard stone)-yes, this is the dragon crystal that can kill different ghosts in Game of Thrones-obsidian.
The locals also inserted obsidian into the eye socket of Moai stone as the eye socket of Moai stone. The seven Moai megaliths facing the sea on Rapanui Island commemorate the seven pioneers and are said to represent the seven Polynesians who first landed on the island. Easter Island is famous for its stone statues, among which seven Moai Stones are the most special. These Moabites face the sea, which may reflect their desire for home.
Carving boulders requires a lot of manpower and material resources. They kept cutting down trees on the island. Even if they have mines and forests at home, they can't consume them from generation to generation. The once prosperous Easter Island has gradually turned into a bare desert island. In order to compete for all kinds of biological resources, the residents of the island also kill each other, and everything on the island has entered a state of gradual decline. This phenomenon lasted until 16 or 17 century.
