Moai
Moai (Hispanice moái, Rapanuiane mo’ai 'statua') sunt magnae hominum statuae monolithicae a Rapanuianis Insulae Paschalis in Polynesia orientali fortasse inter annos 1250 et 1500 sculptae et positae.[1] Ex topho facti sunt et ruber capitis ornatus (Rapanuiane pukao) ex scoria factus est. Nonnunquam in dorso statuae signa incisa sunt: hoc rongorongo, antiquum alphabetum insulae, est. Plus quam mille moai inveniuntur, aliquae in ahu, magnis suggestibus saxosis.
