Similarities across cultures

This comparison is fascinating because it highlights two distinct cultural expressions of monumental art from different parts of the world.
1. Easter Island (Rapa Nui): The famous Moai statues were created by the Rapa Nui people and are believed to represent deified ancestors or important figures. They date back to roughly 1100–1600 CE and were carved from volcanic tuff. Their purpose may have been tied to spiritual beliefs, leadership, or territorial markers.

2. Peru: The statues depicted in the second image are Sarcophagi of Karajía, created by the Chachapoya civilization in northern Peru around 1460 CE. These funerary statues are unique as they were used to house mummies of important individuals, placed in cliffside locations to protect and honor the deceased.
Despite being thousands of miles apart, both sets of statues share a common theme of honoring ancestors or significant individuals. This parallel speaks to a universal human tendency to memorialize and express spirituality through monumental art, even when separated by vast distances and cultures.
