Easter Island
The Statues of Easter Island & Rock Art of Rapa Nui

In 1995 the Chairman of the Bradshaw Foundation, Damon de Laszlo, and John Robinson, joined Doctor Georgia Lee on Easter Island, the island of Rapa Nui. During the first week of February of each year the natives of Easter Island hold their Annual Festival, so we chose this time to visit hoping to gain a sense of what remained of the Easter Island Culture. We were not to be disappointed. In the evenings groups of young men and women in grass skirts competed against each other performing traditional dances. On one day the men took part in a Decathlon of swimming, reed rafting, and a running race around and across the crater lake of Easter island's extinct volcano Rano Raraku, home of the Giant Statues.

Between watching these fascinating scenes, Georgia Lee guided us around the wonders of Easter island's Lost Civilisation. Her life times study of Rapa Nui's Petroglyths has given her a unique knowledge about this collection of Polynesian rock art, by far the greatest in the whole of the Pacific Ocean.
