Chile. Easter Island. 2019. Day 8.

Early morning. Windows in the bathroom.

Sunrise

Farming chickens near cabanas.







Fake statues




Some descriptions about ancient tribes I do not want to type in.

An ancient village 

One of the workers came to work on his horse.

Bird's island. Used by ancient islanders for a competition.

Ancient houses. Were many times rebuilt because their roofs collapse from time to time.

One house with collapsed roof.

An open one just to see how it was inside. There were no open spaces like this.

That was the entry and only the way in and out.

That how village looked like.

Caldera of old volcano.

Some old stones with ancient carvings.

No idea what that is. Some kind of compost?

On the entry locals sell stuff to the tourists.

The island from a hill.

Next day plane just arrived.

Most of the statues are fallen. They were destroyed by arrived to the island christians.

A hat in several thousands kilogram.

A head.

Pedestal for statues is empty. Christians were worse than vandals.

Here is the best eating spot on the island.

The place of mass production of heats for statues. Some weight up t 10 tons.
The local stone has different reddish color and was used specifically for heats.

These statues were just recently re-erected by volunteers.

The shore is divided by stony walls to keep horses from running out.

This little horse lost his mother in a nasty weather and was running at me until realized I'm not his mother or owner, who would take care of him.

Special Chilean TV remote control. It has "Fútbol" button, which stands for Soccer.
