Stonehenge on Easter Island, like Easter Island, has not been discovered for a long time, dating back to 1722. It was the Dutch who first landed on the island and named it, which coincided with Easter on April 5th, so this isolated island far from world civilization had a resounding name-Easter Island.
Since then, Spanish and other European explorers have landed on this island many times in decades, which has aroused people's great interest in exploration, not only because there are natives living on this desert island, but more importantly, hundreds of stone statues on the island.
The stone statue that amazed the world has become a symbol of this remote island. For more than 200 years, various questions have deeply attracted anthropologists, folklorists, geologists and archaeologists from all over the world, and they have set foot on this island in succession, trying to uncover this mysterious veil.
These stone statues are narrow and long in face, dull in expression and consistent in shape, indicating that their makers are processed according to a unified blueprint; It has not been seen elsewhere, which shows that it is an island work unaffected by foreign culture. However, some scholars point out that there are many similarities between their shapes and the stone carvings on Mayan-Indian cultural sites in Dinakwa, Mexico. Could it be that ancient Mexican culture influenced it? It is almost impossible that Mexico is several meters away from Easter Island, Qian Qian.
The impossible miracle is also manifested in other aspects: these stone statues weigh about 2.5 tons as small as they are and more than 50 tons as heavy. Also, there are many stone statues on the island wearing stone hats, one of which is 2 tons small and the other weighs about 10 tons. This brings us another problem. To bring these stone caps to the heads of giant stone figures, we need the minimum lifting equipment. There are no trees on the island, and even the most primitive handling equipment, such as rolling wood and sliding, is not available, so the hoisting device has become a thing of nothing.
Some stone statues are wearing huge stone caps. How are they chiseled out of the quarry by the producers, how are they processed and made, and what methods are used to transport them to distant places to make them stand firmly? How incredible it is that the islanders haven't mastered iron tools in previous centuries!
Many scholars have studied the more than 600 stone statues distributed all over the island and the scale of several quarries, and think that these workloads need 5000 strong laborers to complete. They did an experiment, carving a modest stone statue, which required a dozen workers to be busy for a year. It seems that the use of rolling sliding devices is the only way for islanders to solve the transportation problem, and this primitive handling method can indeed carry these behemoths to any corner of the island. However, this will undoubtedly take up a lot of labor.
Besides, what do 5000 strong laborers eat? What do you live in that distant era? The indigenous people on the island live a life of living in the wind and sleeping outdoors, and they simply cannot provide food to support 2000 strong laborers. The vegetation on the island, the food provided by cultivated land, and the fish and shrimp floating occasionally on the beach are even more difficult to meet the most basic needs of so many people. The island now only has more than 2,400 people, and many daily necessities depend on external supplies.
Perhaps it was the power of religion that prompted the residents of Easter Island to create this miracle on earth. However, the original inhabitants of the island did not believe in any religion, and they gradually accepted and believed in Roman Catholicism after the arrival of French missionaries in the late19th century. What religion do these statues facing the sea represent, even the residents who live in the island can't tell clearly.
So, there is a very serious problem here-who is the producer of the giant statues on the island? A native? Obviously, this is unlikely.
Another mystery is why some stone statues suddenly stopped working. People counted the stone figures on the island one by one, and there were more than 600 statues of * * *. They also investigated the distribution of these megalithic figures, and they also found several quarries in the Ranolaku Mountains. The hard rock in the quarry was cut at will like a cake, and hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of rock were cut out. Stones and gravel are everywhere, and the processed giant statues are transported to distant places. Hundreds of unexplored stones and half-processed stone statues are still lying on the quarry. There is a stone statue that is the most wonderful. His face has been carved, and his back brain is still connected with the mountain. In fact, with a few more knives, this finished product can be separated from the mountain. However, his producer does not do this, as if he suddenly found something and left in a hurry. The gravel on the quarry is messy, with deep gouges and flying stone chips.
Did the volcano erupt? Geologists tell us that Easter Island is a volcanic island, but it is an extinct volcano, and the situation has been stable until humans came to live on the island. Perhaps disasters such as strong winds and tsunamis caused the construction site to stop working. However, the residents of the island should be accustomed to this common natural phenomenon on the island, so there is no need to panic. Besides, they could return to work at any time after the disaster, but they didn't. Why is this? Why these giant statues were carved is a mystery, and why the quarry suddenly stopped working is another mystery.
Easter Island is famous for its many "mysteries" and has always been a fascinating place for scholars and travelers from all over the world. Although the road here is far away, people who come here for sightseeing and inspection are still in an endless stream every year. I hope that one day, these many mysteries can be solved.
