Unit 1 The Moai
Listening Comprehension
Almost everyone knows about the Pyramids and the Sphinx. But not many people
know about the Moai on Easter Island. The Moai are huge stone heads. They are on all
sides of Easter Island and face the sea. The Moai are a mystery. We know almost
nothing about them.
Easter Island is a small island in the Pacific. The nearest land is 2,000 miles away.
How did the builders of the Moai get to Easter Island? Making each Moai probably took
over a year. This is because each head is very big and heavy. Amazingly, there are
over 500 of these stone heads. How did the people of Easter Island build so many of
these huge stone heads? Scientists want to know. There is, however, another
important question. After they built the Moai, the people of Easter Island tore them all
down. Why did they do that?
