New moai stone idol found on Easter Island

How the statue ended up at the bottom of the lake, no one knows, but scientists suggest that it is not the last one found in this area.

On Easter Island, under a dry volcanic lake, a previously unknown moai sculpture was discovered. This is reported by Live Science.

It was mentioned that the researchers found a stone idol at the bottom of Lake Rano Raraku. The crater held fresh water until climate change and other factors such as human use caused it to dry up. According to reports, in 2018 it almost dried up.

“We thought we knew all the moai, but then a new one appeared. There will probably be more,” said University of Arizona archaeologist Terry Hunt.

Interestingly, Moai, whose torsos are buried underground, are known for their carved heads and “pukao”, a hat-like covering of soft red stone. The monoliths are also very large, the largest statue named Moai Paro is ten meters high and weighs 90 tons.

Today, about 1000 statues are known.

It was previously reported that during excavations in the ancient city of Aizanoi, heads of statues of Eros, Dionysus, Hercules and some other characters of ancient mythology were discovered.
