Moai, or mo'ai are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in
eastern Polynesia between the years 1250 and 1500. Nearly half are still at Rano Raraku, the main
moai quarry, but hundreds were transported from there and set on stone platforms called ahu around
the island's perimeter. Almost all moai have overly large heads three-eighths the size of the whole
statue. The moai are chiefly the living faces (aringa ora) of deified ancestors (aringa ora ata tepuna).
The statues still gazed inland across their clan lands when Europeans first visited the island in 1722,
but all of them had fallen by the latter part of the 19th century. The production and transportation of
the more than 900 statues is considered a remarkable creative and physical feat. The tallest moai
erected, called Paro, was almost 10 metres (33 ft) high and weighed 82 tonnes (90.4 short tons). The
heaviest moai erected was a shorter but squatter moai at Ahu Tongariki, weighing 86 tonnes. One
unfinished sculpture, if completed, would have been approximately 21 m (69 ft) tall, with a weight
of about 145-165 tons (160-182 metric tons). The moai were toppled in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, possibly as a result of European contact or internecine tribal wars. Many archaeologists
suggest that the statues were thus symbols of authority and power, both religious and political. But
they were not only symbols. To the people who erected and used them, they were actual repositories
of sacred spirits. Carved stone and wooden objects in ancient Polynesian religions, when properly
