Photo by @salvarezphoto (Stephen Alvarez) | The Moai of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) are some of the most iconic statues in the world. They are huge and enigmatic. The heaviest of the erected statues weigh an astonishing 86 tonnes. 900 of the statues were erected on an island barely 15 miles long. By the time of European contact all 900 statues had been toppled in some social upheaval. I look at the statues as the art work that punctuates one of the greatest feats of exploration human have ever accomplished. Rapa Nui is amazingly remote. There are no other inhabited islands for nearly 2,000 miles in any direction. Sometime around 900 CE the founders of Rapa Nui set out from their home islands in Polynesia in open decked sailing canoes. They not only found this incredibly remote land but then guided only by the stars and their knowledge of the ocean returned to their homeland, packed up all that they would need to begin a new existence in a place thousands of miles away and set out to find Rapa Nui once again. It was an amazing act of human accomplishment. For more follow @salvarezphoto #rapanui
