The Easter Island This is a fascinating story with some very interesting pictures - stone idols, craters of extinct volcanos and other mysterious places of the island |
| STONE IDOLS |
| The Easter island is well-known for enormous stone idols raising up to 10 meters in height. The idols are located nearby the Rana Roraka volcano. They are made of dark volcanic stone and amazingly similar to each other. These are human figures with long ears and arms clasped to body. Their origin is still unknown. Probably we again see silent witnesses of a lost civilization... |
