Oldtime recycling

Oldtime recycling
Moai head. This one is rounder than most heads.
A petroglyph of the Human-lizard.
Those Moais (which have been quite well preserved thanks to the sand surrounding them) show traces of engravings in their back. Possible tattoo representation.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

The Rapa Nui recycled everything. If a moai topped over, it was reused to build a wall or a house…
