Unit 1 The Moai
Reading 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?
