JanuArt 24: "Küstenmoai"

Ich bin immer noch fiebergeplagt Zuhause. Zeichnen geht trotzdem. Mein Körper ist im nasskalten Europa, mein Geist auf Rapanui bei den faszinierenden Moai.
Die Autokorrektur will "Moai" immer zu "Miau" verändern.

I see noai.duckduckgo, but I think Moai.

Rapa Nui oral tradition says that the Moai walked. This radio show has Terry Hunt recounting the day he learned about the walking Moai song at 28:59 and then a snippet of the song at 30:27:

Unlocking the mysteries of Easter Island stone statues

Easter Island, a Chilean territory known as Isla de Pascua in Spanish and Rapa Nui by native inhabitants, is a remote volcanic piece of land in the Pacific Ocean.

It is home to almost 1,000 giant stone structures known as Moai, sculpted hundreds of years ago in tribute to local ancestors who experts say date as far back as the 13th century.
