It may be the most interesting and yet loneliest spot on earth:
a volcanic rock surrounded by a million square miles of ocean,
named for the day Dutch explorers discovered it, Easter Sunday,
April 5, 1722. Here people created a complex society, sophisticated
astronomy, exquisite wood sculpture, monumental stone architecture,
roads, and a puzzling ideographic script. And then they went about
sculpting amazing, giant human figures in stone.
This richly illustrated book of the history, culture, and art of
Easter Island is the first to examine in detail the island's
vernacular architecture, often overshadowed by its giant stone
statues. It shows the conjecturally reconstructed prehistoric pole
houses; the ahu, the sculptures' platform, as a spectacular
expression of prehistoric megalithic architecture; and the Easter
Island Statue Project's inventory of the colossal moai
sculptures.
This publication is made possible in part by a generous
contribution from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan
Fund.
