END OF EASTER ISLAND
Easter Island is one
of the world's most isolated inhabited islands, with its nearest inhabited
neighbor (Pitcairn Island), located some 2,075 km (1,289.35 mi) to the west. Over the centuries Easter Island and its durable
inhabitants lived through colonialism, epidemics, food shortages, internal wars
and slave raids....and they still survive. Important remnants of that culture are the
massive Moai statues, reportedly representing deified ancestors. The settlers
cut down trees to carter these statutes in various ways. Their ambition was
greater than their resources.
