The huge stone statues of Easter Island have left a lasting impression in my mind.
Sadly enough, also this culture was nearly destroyed by civil war which ended in all the statues being torn down and damaged badly. During the last decades there have been efforts to restore the platforms. Huge cranes were needed to perform this task which makes the initial achievement even more impressive. Special software was developed which permitted to reconstruct the original platforms using all the original stones. Nowadays, several platforms can be seen in their original shapes. But most statues remain face-down on the ground, waiting for someone to put them back in their original place. Another impressive sight is the former statue atelier, where many more statues are still on their way to platforms which they will never reach.
