It may be the most interesting and yet loneliest spot on Earth: a volcanic rock ornamented by a million rectangular miles of sea, named for your day Dutch explorers learned it, Easter Sunday, April 5, 1722. Here, people created a complex society, sophisticated astronomy, exquisite solid wood sculpture, monumental stone architecture, streets, and a puzzling ideographic script. And then they proceeded to go about sculpting amazing, massive human results in stone. This audiobook of the history, culture, and art work of Easter Island is the first to examine at length the island's vernacular architecture, often overshadowed by its massive stone statues. It shows the conjecturally reconstructed prehistoric pole houses; the ahu, the sculptures' system, as a magnificent expression of prehistoric megalithic architecture; and the Easter Island Statue Project's inventory of the colossal moai sculptures.
