Two half buried huge moai statues in Easter Island

Rano Raraku was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the islands known monolithic sculptures (moai) were carved. Rano Raraku is a visual record of moai design vocabulary and technological innovation, where 397 moai remain. Rano Raraku is in the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park and gives its name to one of the seven sections of the park

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Easter Island, showcasing two half-buried colossal moai statues. These magnificent structures were carved from stones sourced from Rano Raraku, a quarry that operated for an astonishing 500 years until the early eighteenth century. It is estimated that about 95% of the island's renowned monolithic sculptures, known as moai, were crafted from this very stone. Rano Raraku stands as a testament to both the artistic design vocabulary and technological innovation employed by ancient civilizations. Today, it serves as a visual record of their remarkable achievements, with 397 moai still scattered across its grounds. Situated within the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park, this section bears its name and holds immense historical significance. The photograph showcases these weathered giants against a backdrop of clear blue skies and lush green grass. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the tranquility and grandeur emanating from these remnants of a prehistoric era. As we gaze upon these male likenesses representing human representation in ancient times, we are transported back in time to witness an international landmark steeped in mystery and wonder. This stunning image captured by Volanthevist invites us on a journey through history and ignites our curiosity about this enigmatic civilization that once thrived on Easter Island – an awe-inspiring testament to human creativity and ingenuity.
