Summary
This book explores the history behind the Moai monoliths, beginning with the historical background from the perspective of the indigenous people. The chapters discuss over 1,000 existing monumental statues in Chile made of Tuff created by the Rapa Nui people. Also known as Easter Island, the Moai is a UNESCO recognized world heritage site attracting tourists from all over the world visiting the historical site. The impact of global recognition such as the slave trade, arrival of missionaries, and the loss of a cultural way of life by the locals due to their changes are some of the details defined in this publication. It is worth noting that the study of Monoliths is important, as is elaborated in the chapter focusing on the loss of heritage and how the efforts are being made to improve them following damage using digital and physical restoration techniques. The restoration aspect of the monoliths is explained further by highlighting the controversy surrounding the Moai monoliths, how it is portrayed in popular culture and what the future hold for the monoliths. The well-researched articles give an insight into the monoliths, equip you with deep knowledge and an exciting discovery making the reading worthwhile. Enjoy the book.
