What’s Carved on the Back of the Easter Island Moai Statues? 🤔🤓

We’ve all seen the incredible Moai statues, created to honour the ancestors of Easter Island, known locally as Rapa Nui, between 1000 and 1650 AD. Something not everybody knows though, is that the backs of some of the statues are also intricately carved.
These are not original features though. In the history of Easter Island, there was a transition in religion and ritual practices, from Ancestor worship and the creation of Moai statues, to the creation of carvings of the birdman cult.
Symbols include the vulva, Rapa Nui ritual dance paddles, two birds - male and female, an egg and a hatched fledgling bird. The birdman was the emblem of the warrior class and the rise of the birdman and the end of Moai statue making, may indicate a transference of power amongst the people on the island.

​@@snydedon9636 no, but we can toss around the perspective that it's far more logical that these were quarried, sculpted, transported and positioned by a people we are not yet aware of considering the blatantly obvious unlikelihood that the Moaia performed this feat.

what's is most interesting about Easter Island are some of the platforms that the statues stand on. tight fitting polygonal masonry similar to places in Peru. Always thought that some study should be done into the similarities, as Peru is one of the closest mainland countries to EI.

When I see the moai and the bird men I see the longings of a trapped people to escape that tiny place. Watchers watching the sea. The essentially imprisoned population was without eventual access to wooden canoes as the forests were cut, and I can imagine they looked with envy at how the birds could come and go beyond the horizon and they could not follow; truly birds in their eyes were gods as the Birdman Cult. The Birdman Cult reminds me of the Ghost Dancers for a time endemic in the North American tribes in the late 1800's. Each doomed cult featured an almost painful wistfulness for better times. I don't think life on Easter Island can have been particularly pleasant. Diets were limited as the original settlers forgot to bring pigs (they did carry rats, which rapidly went to work on the vegetation and the birdlife!). What's more, the island has no reef or lagoon to provide easier access to fish and other seafood. The islanders had to develop a brine tolerance. All in all not the best place to settle! It must have gotten fairly claustrophobic and socially unstable there periodically.

it doesn't seem plausible for a sea faring culture to not have any boats. they aren't going to cut down every tree and then realize they don't have any left over to build more boats. And if they cut down all the trees, where are the remains?
@Adam-kf6lr
@Adam-kf6lr Год назад
I bet they started getting invaded by Polynesians and used every tree/root/leaf to build vessels to escape, probably a "scorched earth" policy as well. Has anyone excavated down 20-30ft anywhere besides the Moai? Maybe there was a massive earth dump from above?

makes me think they knew their civilization was going to flood. They built their statues to meet the coming wave on the front and the glory and hope of their people on the back. Two birds, male and female, holding up their progeny in hope they survive to give birth and continue society. After all, who would survive if the Earth would be swallowed up but those that flew?

Thanks for another great vid… Can u plse do a vid on the quarries at Easter island and in Egypt etc… these show hundreds of Moai statues at various stages of being carved out of the rock and similarly in Egypt and around the ancient world. I think careful and in depth vids about theses quarries would help answer a lot of questions people have about how these structures were most likely built …

? It's the sun on the horizon line. Stand face to face and the horizon is behind the eyes. Stand next to someone and the horizon is behind their shoulders. The horizon line drops lower the farther we move away from each other. Stand a distance where a person's head is the same size as the sun and the horizon line will be just behind the elbows where the Sphinx and the Mayan statues are resting. The shape of the Easter Island heads is a rectangle based on the angle of the sun or the tilt of Earth's axis. Their Ears are also showing the sun over the horizon reflecting its column of light below on the surface. This is the same as the ankh or the rectangle on the ears of the Mayans. This is also because when facing the noon sun the depiction of the low sun on the horizon with its column of light is only physically possible on our sides now East or West.
