The island is famous for the giant stone sculptures of heads, called Moai. For ages, the island has been subject to conspiracies on how the statues were created, but now, there is little not known. They were made out of tuff and polished with pumice, and moved with big logs. The people use the trees to make canoes and move Moai, and soon, there were no trees on the island. The population diminished, and now we wonder how such an advanced civilization failed so miserably. ]]> 2018-04-12 15:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jfry549/lizpkyhlgx0d/wish/251221622 jfry549 https://padlet.com/jfry549/lizpkyhlgx0d/wish/251606463 Global warming is causing the ocean level to rise, putting the Moai in danger.
