History and Origin of the Moai
Located off the coast of Chile, Easter Island has about 400 Moai statues that were erected by the Rapanui people from the 13th century onwards.
These stone representations are up to 9 meters high and weigh up to 8 tons. Their meaning has always remained mysterious and still exalts scientists around the world: how could an ancient civilization make and move such enormous statues? What do they represent?
No one knows the exact origin of these monumental statues, but several explanations emerge:
- Some believe that they are Maori gods because Easter Island is located in the Pacific Ocean and has been influenced by Polynesian culture.
- Others say that they are tributes to important figures from the past.
- Finally, more and more scientists believe that the Moai were erected for the fertility of the soil : the volcanic stone in which these stone giants were sculpted has the ability to fertilize the land sustainably and therefore to allow essential crops such as bananas or taro...
If you like ethnic trends and cosmopolitan decoration, this handcrafted Moai statue is a great choice for your decoration! It remains to be decided whether you will place it in the house or the garden, and whether you will use it as a simple statue, as a stool or why not, as a support for your most beautiful houseplant...
