Unearth the secrets of the mysterious giant stone statues on this tiny remote Pacific island.
Easter Island, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles from anywhere, has intrigued visitors since Europeans first arrived in the 1700s. How did people first come to live there? How did they build the enormous statues and why? How were they placed around the island without carts or even wheels? Scientists have learned many of the answers, although some things still remain a mystery. Megan Stine reveals it all in a gripping narrative.
This book, part of the New York Times best-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four photographs on the back.
復活島位在太平洋中央，離任何地方皆距離數千哩，歐洲人 18 世紀抵達以來，即吸引了不少人前往該島。

科學家找到了不少答案，但仍有不少謎團。在本書引人入勝的內容中，梅根．史甸將為您解答。
