Moai Statues as Gifts

I am flabbergasted with the techniques those Moai used in those days. To carve such heavy sculptures out of rocks without cranes and the tractors is a mystery to me. Love these artistic pieces of Easter Island, they indeed are great for gifts.

Symbols and Meanings in the Story of Bluebeard

Symbols and Meanings in the Story of Bluebeard
