复活节岛石像卫星地图 (世界奇迹指南)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai Moai (pronounced MOH-EYE) are stone statues on Easter Island. In most cases, the statues are monolithic, that is, carved from single stones, but some have additional, separate stone Pukau placed on the heads. The more than 600 known Moais are distributed around the entire island. Most of the moai were carved out of the rock at Rano Raraku, where nearly 400 more moai remain in various stages of completion. The quarry there seems to have been abandoned abruptly, with half-carved statues left in the rock. Practically all of the completed moai were subsequently toppled by native islanders in the period after construction ceased.

The meaning of the moai is still unclear, and many theories surround these statues.
