Moai of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

Written by Susan Verde with Emma Walton Hamilton (Editor) and Illustrated by Art Direction by Gilles Galibert and Clement Fog (Toulouse, France)

Moai is the Polynesian word for statue. Many archaeologist, linguists, and anthropologists from all over the world have visited the island to try to answer the questions asked about the moai and more. There is no written record from the moai builders – only descendants left to pass on stories from long ago. There have been some discoveries made, but many questions remain.
