In some ways, the statues of Easter Island are in Polynesia what the pyramids are to Egypt. Silent giants, from the distant past, making excellent postcards. I think they raising deep questions about their edification. A veil of the veil rises in the light of a study published in Plos One. According to Robert DiNapoli, an archaeologist at the University of Oregon, and his colleagues, monoliths on Easter Island have been erected near water sources, especially valuable on this land without rivers.

“As strangers, we scratch our heads to explain how these people have achieved such architectural feats”, moreover, on an island so small and sparsely populated, say the researchers contacted by Futura. As I read : “the idea of a mystery” to a “smokescreen” that prevents us from seeing why they have taken so much trouble. Mostly from carving, transporting and raising these statues.

Archaeologists believe that these monuments, recognized as of great ritual importance, could, moreover, materialize the political domination of basic natural resources, marine or agricultural. In this study, researchers wanted to empirically verify this hypothesis.
